Most of my limited reddit usage is for work. I do IT work,and sometimes solutions can be found there, or at least hints. It's still pretty low, maybe 10% or less of stuff I search for find actionable hit on reddit. Only other thing is stuff like comments on Tom Carey videos, which I do like to see. I know stuff like YouTube, insta,tiktok, etc will have em too, but sometimes I'm in the mood to see from multiple sources, and I don't usually find those type of niche reactions on Lemmy. I do see fans of course, but not as often.

MODERATORS
It’s still a great source of information. I don’t mind visiting the site if it pops up in one my Google searches.
Nothing unless it comes up in search. And then I have set rules which will redirect reddit to a different frontend (RDX) so that I can just read the info without visiting that awful place.
r/politicalcompassmemes
r/IsraelPalestine
r/livestreamfail
r/all
r/popular for select countries.
Reddit who?
r/fpv r/diydrones
I don't.
I'm mostly ok with it for topics that are sufficiently distanced from politics. Subs having an explicit "no politics" rule is a bonus.
self abuse
I liked their fosscad community, but that's gone now too. So now I just create new accounts with temporary emails and get mega hostile to anyone supportive of the current bullshit.
