Yeah, public reddit is terrible, but make an account, unsubscribe the default subreddits and subscribe to smaller subreddits, and it can be awesome. A selection of subreddits I can recommend (depending on your interests of course):

bodyweightfitness, breadit, dataisbeautiful, digitalnomad, onebag, Ultralight, walkablecities, cozy_places, artisanvideos, relationship_advice, bestof, financialindependence, gamedev, gamedesign, HighQualityGifs, museum, Pareidolia, programming, programmer_humor, space, startups, SaaS, webdev, science
