You're looking at the "hot" page there (basically like the Hacker News front page). Here's the Top All Time for instance: https://www.reddit.com/r/HaveWeMet/top/?sort=top&t=all

It certainly seems like much more attempted comedy than serious roleplay though.

Apperantly reddit intersperses posts with advertisements. I was so confused when suddenly there was a post saying "Goland IDE helps thousands of developers..."

OT: The hot page does look funny. I'm not sure if I ever could enjoy something like this though - I seem to lack imagination. Perhaps it's the same reason I can't get into Roleplaying games (D&D, or online variations).

Seeing as most of the Top All Time are fairly old (a year to 6 months) it seems the page has taken a hit regarding active members posting meaningful content. Pretty sad, I would've loved to contribute some stuff. But I also wrote on a roleplay forum in amounts that accounted to about 1000 Word pages so I might have a different goal here.

The "Life of Norman" subreddit is another interesting one[1]. It's just stores about Norman, a very normal and very boring middle-aged man with a cat, also called Norman. Unfortunately the top posts are all from three years ago, but the best posts are strangely interesting, and often a little sad. I think it must be because the one thing people don't usually write about is completely normal uneventful life.
