For me, it's a few things.

A way to burn time that doesn't feel like a digital sugar rush.
Support, camaraderie, and kindness, primarily from /r/stopdrinking.
Niche stuff, like ideas for local hiking and backpacking trips, propaganda posters, and kayaking info.

-reliably hear about social trends, but with some distance to them

This is an astute point that I didn't really think about. Not being on other social media sites like facebook or twitter, and also lacking a water cooler to chat at work (I'm WFH), I can go days without hearing offhand comments about a popular culture phenomenon. I don't necessarily want to be "in it" but I do want to at least know about trends.

These are all pretty much on the top of my list as well.
