I think the age of a mindfull, usefull Reddit are gone. It’s been trolls and crap content for years now, and it’s only getting worse IMHO. I think at some point the usefull, good communities will migrate somewhere else in the coming years

The only thing you can really do is unsubscribe from literally everything, and choose much more boutique groups that are related to your specific interests. For example /r/multicopter/ is a half decent resource for quadcopters and various hobby drones, or /r/destinythegame is a useful resource for a specific video game. The page /r/alaskanmalamute is a friendly community of people who own Malamute dogs.
Everything that has millions of random people joined to it has become a cesspool of lowest common denominator clickbait posts and photos.

As long as your subreddit is small enough (500-25k) and never hits the front page it can be ok

Nice! I hope it’s just a button that says Innoculate.

Trolls and crap content? Aren't you being overly broad here? I find the r/swift and r/iOSProgramming communities pretty informative. And the r/ProgrammerHumor is good for a smile.

ProgrammerHumor used to be so good but I think it reached the front page too many times so now it’s just jokes for people for a passing interest in computers and bad volume sliders. I can’t stand being there anymore…

/r/SpaceX is still spectacular, and there doesn't seem much reason to migrate away.

Reddit still has good subs. If you limit yourself to those, you never see the bad stuff.
