One thing that wasn't touched on much is how many creators I've found due to the dozen or so d&d subreddits I subscribed to. I found a dozen map makers, half a dozen homebrew item creators and adventure creators each that I love and use regularly. Many I purchase from or support. That's my primary source for finding new creators that I use to enhance my digital games. Hell I never would have heard of Sly Flourish without them. It's what I'm going to miss from Reddit.

Another is that it's where I get my d&d news. I wouldn't have been anywhere near as informed, nor as quickly, about the OGL fiasco without dndnext, dndnemes, onednd, etc.

Lastly, I disagree that I could "leave" the non DM communities there. I get that's the best place for Sly to advertise so he engages with it the most. But the general discussion and meme subs were where I found a lot of rules discussion, balance discussion, etc.

Also discord sucks for most of this. It's a chatroom, not a forum. Enworld is great and had great info but I really prefer the tiered discussion threads better than time based.
