For me it’s been communities like /r/buildapc, /r/buildapcforme, /r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, and /r/consoledeals have been useful throughout the years.

    I really like changing my wallpapers, so something for mobile wallpapers. Also, I really enjoyed r/

    whatisthisthing for wacky things people found

    askdocs and legaladvice for advise on when to seek professional assistance

    askreddit (which I see some posts, along with AMA-type things on c/chats)

    YouShouldKnow and LifeProTips

    Outoftheloop to ask questions for summaries (e.g., Why is everyone talking about Johnny Depp?)

      For an askreddit replacement there is an asklemmy community on the lemmy.ml instance !asklemmy@lemmy.ml

      Honestly though I hope it doesn’t become too much like askreddit. That sub got increasingly repetitive with it’s questions (i guess there’s only so many questions to ask internet strangers though)

        I agree that sub (like most) got repetitive and seemed to engage people on an increasingly superficial level. I guess I would prefer more thoughtful or engaging topics. I did check out the ask Lemmy community and will use that for now.
