I do the same. I've just hit my 13th cake day on Reddit, and it's consistently been my favorite way of interacting with people on the web. The absolute key to enjoying Reddit is to get out of r/all, and curate your subreddits based on interests and quality of community.

Some of my personal favorite subreddits based on interests:

https://www.reddit.com/r/programming

https://www.reddit.com/r/startups

https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful

https://www.reddit.com/r/Aquariums

https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberDeck

https://www.reddit.com/r/functionalprint

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards

https://www.reddit.com/r/onewheel

https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricScooters

https://www.reddit.com/r/mechanicalpencils

https://www.reddit.com/r/fountainpens

https://www.reddit.com/r/mechanicalheadpens

Seriously, the quality of the subreddit is directly tied to the quality of the mods. I was a mod on my old hometown's subreddit, and it was a daily slog of removing shitposts, political content, and conspiracy theories. The end result was a relatively clean and useful subreddit.

Additionally, I'd recommend using an app like Apollo instead of the official Reddit app. It's just a better experience overall.
