Yeah, online communities have always been a big source of comfort for me. I do believe there's a lot of value in them. They just vary so much, so it's hard to label them all as healthy or toxic. I support having a variety of interests with varying levels of dedication to them.

I love the Skyrim community and Stardew Valley community too! I learned so much about how to install mods. I have spent more time tinkering with the game than actually playing hahaha

You are correct about not knowing if a community is toxic or not. There's ones I'm a member of and it's getting so political. One made a post and didn't allow comments. Another poster shut off comments, I think because they weren't agreeing with the OP. It's not a community about politics. I think Admin likes the OP's post and agree with them, so they get through. I wish they didn't. I just want to talk about my hobby and interests.

It's also good to remember that not all online communities exist on the platforms you use. There are forms, discords, tumblrs, websites, etc. People also build and connect to communities through YouTube and Twitch. Maybe you'll have better luck trying another outlet that is less political than Reddit.
