Whilst Reddit can be a source of good information due to the sheer amount of users in each topic, be careful of what the general consensus of each sub is. Even in small subreddits.

Nah it can. For example, since the userbase is so big there's many niche communities of hobbies/skills that most people aren't interested in but a small group of people. Because of that it becomes a general hub of information. When you ask a question about something in relation a particular topic on Google, there's usually a bunch of Reddit threads that pop up asking the exact same thing. There are many aspects of the site that make it total trash, but you can't assimilate political/social narratives in something like joinery.
