Yup, I definitely used Reddit for the things you mentioned, except media like plays and movies (but strangely not games) where I still find value from professional critics.
And I’m not a 40-something sysadmin, I’m a 30-something software engineer (quite different), and I’m very much not interested in high end cycling gear (it’s transportation and exercise for me, not status and social connection). That community has a good mixture of both. Basically, it’s a mix of /r/bicycles, /r/cycling, and /r/bikecommuting, and is precisely what I wanted.
I do hope that mod tools get better. If I knew my way around the Reddit tools, I’d help build it, but I have very little idea if what’s wanted or needed.
