What was your best and worst experience on Reddit? (lemmy.ml)

Tell the best experience or interaction you had on Reddit, and the worst one.

The best for me would be when r/egg_irl helped me realize I was in fact, not cis. Or when r/aspiememes helped me comprehend that my psychologist at the time was wrong. The worst one would be every single time I had to deal with powertriping mods or when I had to fight the rampant transphobia in the platform.

I can't say there was a worst interaction, but there's two candidates for best. The first is that when he was just starting out, shittywatercolour painted one of my photographs.
The second is not just a reddit thing, but about 7 years ago I wrote a tutorial for r/fanfiction on how to use calibre to save stories from various websites. It was well received at the time, but since them ive had multiple times where people said it was useful, including one a couple weeks ago on a completely different website.

how to use calibre to save stories from various websites

That sounds amazing. You have a link to your guide? maybe here or in another platform? I love Calibre and didn't know that was possible.

Perhaps this feature?

You use a plugin called Fanficfare to get it to work, though the news feature is good for blogs and other sites! Here's the tutorial.
