Getting diagnosed with Crohn's disease. That's the one community I will likely go back and visit from time to time.
Hi I created a Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis group here! I miss the reddit group too.
Ahh sweet! Thanks for doing that. I wanted to do it, but don't really have the time to moderate.
I honestly don't either, but hopefully as it gets bigger, I can recruit others to mod as well.
I love the fact that this feels like the beginning of reddit. :)
Reddit turbocharged my startup business. I’m going to miss it for that. I didn’t need Reddit, and I could have survived without someone posting me to a particular city’s sub, but everything changed after it happened.
It’s still fun and hard to think about because I had truly convinced myself that I was an idiot and that I was going to fail at life. I lived with a lot of smart people in college, some of them are very accomplished. When everything happened I felt so vindicated.
Y’all. Forbes wrote about that business. The most significant thing Reddit helped me through was realizing that I wasn’t a failure but that my time hadn’t come yet.
Reddit has always been a toxic force in my life and if I am honest I have derived nothing of value from it
Reddit helped me get diagnosed with ADHD, France community.
Helped discover many things, apps, lifestyle things.
There was a post on asklemmy about feeling like you had a breakup with reddit. Many people said "no it's for the better, fuck spez", but myself, yes it felt like a breakup. Not because the service is so good, but the community was.
/r/starbucks! The community helped me get through a strange, stressful job there and continues to be great
Sorting out my sexuality. No one directly helped, but just being exposed to different possibilities really got me considering how I've lived my life so far and what it really pointed to.
The answer is boring, agender, asexual. But having the most bland answer ended up being really tough to pin down and realize. Nothing is either overly enjoyable or overly upsetting, it's all just kind of flat lined.
Mental health. Specifically men’s mental health and having essentially a peer support group online
Crazy how quiet these are without even trying to do it well:
