Reddit was only “good” at those topics in that it was easy to find niches. Not that there was any measurable quality in the discussions. I cannot think of a single interest of mine where Reddit trumped dedicated forums. From Dakkadakka to geekhack to BladeForums, it really wasn’t overly beneficial. Easier to keep track of topics, maybe, but any subreddit of decent size was mostly advertising/memes anyway, not true discussion. The only aspect I can truly say Reddit was good for me was the basics of archiving, personal finances, cooking, and frugality. And I’m sure there’s even better forums dedicated to those topics.
