What value did you get from Reddit that you hope to realize or expand upon here? (self.lemmyworld)

For me, it's a few things.

A way to burn time that doesn't feel like a digital sugar rush.
Support, camaraderie, and kindness, primarily from /r/stopdrinking.
Niche stuff, like ideas for local hiking and backpacking trips, propaganda posters, and kayaking info.

I mostly used it for extremely specific obscure tech issues that were solved 10 years ago in random threads 🙃

Exactly this. I work in IT and when looking for an answer I would Google search my question followed by Reddit and normally find a post with the answer I needed. I hope Sysadmin here becomes just as active.

I wish someone could archive all that info and bring it over. I think /r/datahoarders was working on something like that

Language models basically have done this in a funny way

That's why I hope that most subs make their content available again, even after shit went down the drain.
