In my experience it's pretty easy to find non-toxic reddit communities. Most smaller subreddits for specific things are actually pretty nice.

But you need to be aware that's the recommended way to use Reddit.

A lot of big subs and even some default ones are extremely toxic, propagandist and authoritarian.

Agreed, it usually takes less than a minute to figure that out. Albeit, I usually don't ban it unless I find them hopelessly close minded when it comes to debates. For other subreddits, I follow them once I have seen them enough times to like them.

most sports subs are great, shoutout to /r/mma, best mods on reddit.
