  No, it has tons of fillers and memes.

    Everybody knows you stay away from the defaults and stay on the smaller subreddits. There are a lot of small, specialized subs that have a great community.

      Any examples?

        I'm not OP, but https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/ is a good example.

          Sadly, it seems it is also the only example. Can you name four or five other subreddits that come close? I always felt like vommiting when I saw people recommend /r/woodworking, but I couldn't figure out why. I was reading an unrelated critique of /r/fitness one day and somebody summed up my feelings about /r/woodworking perfectly "/r/_______ is a bunch of beginners masquerading as experts."

            r/AskScience, r/AskAnthropology, r/TrueFilm, r/DepthHub and r/TrueReddit are those that come to mind. None of these are some perfect, but neither is HN and IMO you find a lot of great content there that you wouldn't find here.

              r/Linux and r/Technology are also good ones for those interested in CS and tech stuff.

                The top post in /r/linux right now is a link to imgur that is a screen cap of an Amazon question: Q: Does this keyboard support Linux? A: The keyboard is advanced but you can not run Linux on the keyboard. This is probably not what most people think of when they are looking for serious and in-depth Linux discussions.

        https://www.reddit.com/r/woodworking/ https://www.reddit.com/r/woodworking/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AskCulinary/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AskCulinary/ The smaller subs have an entirely different culture and community. Any interest you have has a related sub-Reddit. you can search for them by clicking the 'more' link in the top bar that lists the subreddits. https://www.reddit.com/subreddits/ https://www.reddit.com/subreddits/ Subcribe to the ones you like, and unsubscribe from all the defaults.

        Most of the sports subreddits are great. r/cfb, r/NFL, r/NBA, r/baseball, r/hockey, r/soccer, r/collegebasketball, r/fantasyfootball, etc.
