If a subreddit is about a visual creative medium, then the image posts won't be lazy, as they will tend to be people's Original Content; and they will frequently spawn good discussions on how to achieve the effects shown. See:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/origami/

• https://www.reddit.com/r/PixelArt/

• https://www.reddit.com/r/Watercolor/

• https://www.reddit.com/r/MSpaintLikeBobRoss/

DIY hobbies also spawn good subreddits. See e.g.

• https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/

And of course, there's the great and under-explored genre of "hobby X but for old people who aren't interested in the fads of hobby X" subreddits, e.g.

• https://www.reddit.com/r/patientgamers/

There's never any discussion on watercolor? It's just a dumping ground for some average at best paintings

The few times I've looked at the comments sections it's been pretty good. But then, I don't visit the subreddit (or any subreddit); I just join it and then wait for things from it to show up on my front page. So I only see posts from it when those posts get wildly popular, or at least more popular than posts on such a sub usually get.

Oh thats interesting, I guess yeah if something actually gets popular enough to bubble up it could be decent content.

I water color paint, in the end I was pretty disappointed with it. I was hoping their might be helpful community but it's non existent
