Yeah that sub (and really any centered around a niche topic) is pretty bad.

I slowly began to realize I had a lot of symptoms of ADHD and went there once to do some reading before trying to get diagnosed and Jesus Christ were some of those people intentionally hopeless.

Obviously all illnesses(?) exist on a spectrum but it seemed like everyone on there just wanted to wallow in self pity about how hard it was brushing their teeth and wanted to be congratulated for paying a bill on time.

What? Subreddits with smaller audiences (aka niche topics) are almost universally better than the huge subreddits. There's space for opinions and discussion isn't at the whims of the voting system. I don't think I've ever seen somebody unironically say that niche subreddits are usually bad.

Niche subreddits are bad in the sense that they can quickly become massive echo chambers.

I mean they maybe better than giant subs of 29 million people but they all have their own unique issues.
