I want the good part of reddit circa 2015 - 2020, I think. At least that’s around time when I joined reddit and was active. They’re kind of medium - large size back then. Plenty of small to medium-small communities with niche interests and inclusive generally. Have sane rules and moderation
At least that’s how I remember it. Rose tinted glasses and nostalgia, on top of whatever side effect I got post covid time.
Yeah at the very best it becomes dull when they grew in sub members count. of course the worst outcomes are it became flooded with stupid memes, whining; if it’s something gaming related massive tribalism and Gamerism (iykyk), or larping ass mentality with gatekeeping tendencies and know-it-all way of posting.
I’m just mad that r/manybaggers have become boring of the same 5 brands being bandied about, and miss the more varied bags from 2016 (ish) from posters back then. even the mods is now not posting much, and I had a great time conversing with them back then.
I’m glad that my gacha addiction of choice, Nikke, is here and there’s some regulars. we don’t talk much and only posts fan art most of the time, but hey, at least it’s not as memey or whiny as the equivalent 3 subreddits

Sadly many of those neche subreddits have lost so many users they’re dull or worse
Back before the 3rd party apps were effectively banned Reddit was great.
