I started reading the Wheel of Time books this year and I discovered their surprisingly active subreddit where they have an active read-along including spoiler free first time reader threads.
I listen to the No Dumb Questions podcast and the official episode discussion threads are on Reddit. As are the official discussion threads for the Nebula original Jet Lag episodes. As are the best unofficial discussion threads for newly aired TV show episodes.
When new Age of Empires or Planet Zoo patches/expansions drop the only place to find thoughtful discussion is the subreddits for the games. The actual game developers hang out there as well. The subreddit wiki for Cities Skylines is the best guide to mods available on the internet. If you need to talk Civ strategy or want to follow the latest Smash Bros tournament then Reddit is the best place to go.
Similar to when new music drops from a major artist - the best interactive discussion happens on Reddit.
I haven't found anywhere that's as good as /r/NFL for game threads during the season.

I've long given up looking at Reddit for any meaningful discussion.
Every major sub is infected with noxious politics. Technology/programming subreddits are flooded with confidently stated but mostly uninformed opinions. Trying to post something helpful feels like swimming against the tide.
But I still go to Reddit for discussion about media be it books, podcasts, video games, music, sports, or others.
I really hope someone migrates those communities somewhere else so I can finally ignore the site.
