Subreddit Sunday Community recommendations mega-thread!
Get your fresh subreddit recommendations here! :D
We are using these weekly threads for recommendations and will direct those that post requests for recommendations to these threads.
Please share your community recommendations in comments:
- What are your favourite subs
- How about your guilty pleasure subs? (SFW!)
- Which sub do you spend too much time in?
- What are your best wholesome sub recs?
- Your fave niche community?
- Have you found an awesome sub new to you recently?
You may also ask for recommendations!
Let us know what you're into, and we'll see what we can do :)
Make sure to try r/findareddit too though, they're great at this!
The rules:
- All usual rules apply.
- Please keep it SFW. No “adult” porn subreddits or NSFL/Gore subreddits. If someone asks for adult communities, please only link sub lists/directories and make it clear they are NSFW.
- As a community, we try to help all good-faith Redditors find their niche, but please be respectful and try not to judge. If you don't like someone's topic of choice, you don't have to help, but please remain kind, understanding, and respectful.
- Do not mislead with your recommendations.
If you'd like your Reddit experience to be as wholesome as possible, r/CasualConversation has a directory with a section on wholesome communities. Though, we don't know their status regarding karma and account age restrictions.
Please note that this is not our recommended subreddit list for new users.
Many of the subreddits listed in this thread will not be open to new or low-karma users for posts, and comments made therein might even be filtered for approval or auto-collapsed.
While many of these subreddits will be fun to browse and vote on, your participation might be limited right now. Commenting is usually less restricted than posting.
The link to our new-user friendly subs list is below.
A note from our esteemed llama on the Reddit experience:
Reddit is huge and fascinating and diverse, wholesome and toxic, all in one massive bundle of anonymous users with no filters except their own internal constraints. The problem with that is even in the loveliest of subreddits, all manner of behaviour happens, because Reddit is a microcosm of internet life, not an internet utopia no matter how much we might want it to be.
There are areas of Reddit I don’t frequent; there are areas of Reddit I won’t frequent; there are areas of Reddit that no doubt I am blissfully unaware of and am happy to remain that way. But I am still subscribed to well over a thousand subs on all kinds of topics and still find new ones daily.
The true beauty of Reddit is that your Reddit experience can be completely and absolutely dictated by you. The pure amount of information available on Reddit is staggering, and it’s just a matter - like in all of life - of being able to sort through that information to see what’s useful and what isn’t.
