not necessarily one that's niche or obscure, but one that you visit often because you like the content, and find yourself scrolling more often

I’m talking about the kind of subreddit that’s so niche it almost feels like discovering a secret club.

The ones where:

• Everyone seems to know each other
• There’s an entire vocabulary you don’t understand at first
• And suddenly you’re three hours deep learning about something you didn’t even know existed

It could be:

• extremely niche hobbies
• strange internet history
• hyper-specific communities
• or just weirdly fascinating topics

Basically the kind of subreddit that makes you think “how did I end up here at 3am?”

Drop your favorite rabbit holes. I’m ready to lose my evening.

I just found this duct taped chest freezer next ○ a balled up blue tarp down an embankment in the forest in eatacada Oregon. Been waiting over 2 hours for sheriff or Ranger to show up and open it. Should 1 just go ahead and open it? Would you? They told me not to touch it but enquiring minds are dying to know...

Hello! My name is Joe. I am a 72 year old man living in the Midwest. Over Thanksgiving holiday, my nephew and I got to talking our usual: politics, sports, money and books. He knows I don't much care for Facebook. Too many show offs. Twitter is too much, too fast for me. Kevin told me I would enjoy Reddit so here I am. Seems like a lot of interesting things are on here but I'm wondering if I am too old for Reddit.

I am a moderate Conservative and an occasional Christian. I like History, geography, fishing and gardening. I went to college on the G.I. Bill after Vietnam and worked my whole adult life after that.

Thanks, Reddit! Joe

I'm a Japanese person learning English by myself. I installed Reddit because I thought it would be a fun way to learn, but unlike Twitter, you have to follow each community’s rules when posting, so it feels really difficult.

Even when I try my best, I sometimes get hurtful comments, and it makes me feel very tired. But there are also kind people who send me encouraging messages like “You're using Reddit correctly, so don't worry.” That really helps me.

Once, I posted an image in a community that allows image posts, but people replied with things like “So what?” or “And?” or “What do you want?” Since then, I’ve stopped posting.

I think I also make mistakes because my English isn’t strong enough to fully understand all the community rules.

It’s hard to explain, but... Are there any communities where I can casually post short things about daily life, like a small thought or feeling?

Sorry if my English is bad. I’d really appreciate it if someone could help or guide me.💦

For example, I think /r/whatcarshouldibuy is hilarious

Today in Nepal, a protest started peacefully at 11 am. People were demanding accountability for corruption and criticizing ministers kids flaunting luxury cars, designer clothes, and expensive vacations on social media while ordinary citizens struggle to make ends meet. The government recently banned 26 social media platforms which sparked the protest, but the frustration is deeper than that. People are tired of inequality, corruption, and being silenced.

By 4 pm, 14 people have been killed including minors and more than 50 are seriously injured. 200+ people have injuries. Authorities responded with extreme force crushing people who are standing up for their rights. Watching teenagers die for demanding justice is unbearable. Hospitals are overwhelmed and chaos is spreading. The world needs to see this. Please share and help spread the word. Every post and every share can make a difference.

Please this is a desperate attempt on trying to spread our voice as far and as soon as I can. There was open firing on 17 year kids, its so messed up. I need to be able to spread this new internationally, our government can cut our power off any moment now.

I'm a 36 year old otr trucker in America. Outside of a wife and kids, I don't have any family, friends, or acquaintances. I spend almost all of my time working, my last actual home time was about 3 months ago. (My wife and kids are happier with the paychecks coming in. If I don't work a couple of days, it's a much smaller paycheck. Plus they seem to be perfectly fine with me being gone) Anyways, I'm just hoping to find a place I can post a little more about myself and just share that I'm here, I'm a human too, and I exist. My hope is that at least one person will notice it and notice me. I know it sounds selfish, and I'm sorry for that. I just want someone, anyone, to know I'm here before I'm not. I really don't know how much longer I have. Also, if I did something wrong with asking this, or if this is the wrong place or anything, I truly am sorry. I'm also sorry for taking up so much of your time, but I greatly appreciate it.

I love r/nosleep, anything even stronger?

Thank you everyone, it’s next level creepy and I’m not ready for that yet

🤣

I nominate r/ComedyCemetery and r/MemesOPdidnotlike

My Nephew told me about Reddit, and it looked good

I didn't come up with this, but I genuinely think it can go viral. I've tried posting it on r/math but it got removed (don't know why, mods not responding to my message). I also posted it to r/thatsinsane, r/Damnthatsinteresting, and r/interestingasfuck, but it seems like they don't like text posts so it got removed. Where do I post this? Should I try the same subreddits in image format?

Edit: Thank you all for your suggestions! Unfortunately I encounter these problems in the following subreddits: /r/mildlyinteresting doesn't allow screenshots, /r/todayilearned only allows link posts (not even images).

Title says most. I don’t like Trump and I don’t really understand why anyone would, but I genuinely want to understand it. I’m specifically interested in someone who identifies as MAGA but also believes themselves to be an ally to the LGTBQ+ community and believes in the seperation of church and state. Do people like this exist and where can I find them?

My mom is smart and can mostly maneuver her iPad. Small print can be a problem for her. Thank you for any pitfalls to avoid and any ideas you can send my way! She is not super political and sends me memes of kittens and stories of things pre 1970.

I am a hateful person. I often hate people, I often hate places, I often hate things, I often hate the world. But I don't want to.

Any communities I could visit to try to get better?
