For me, it's a few things.

A way to burn time that doesn't feel like a digital sugar rush.
Support, camaraderie, and kindness, primarily from /r/stopdrinking.
Niche stuff, like ideas for local hiking and backpacking trips, propaganda posters, and kayaking info.

Seconding FTMFitness, but Lemmy doesn't have an active general fitness community yet, and getting the average trans guy to stop using centralized platforms is like pulling teeth because the knowledge of technology and privacy among trans men is dismal. I gave up on seeing trans men in FOSS and the decentralized web at any large scale after seeing how many of them chose to keep using Twitter despite the Elon Musk protests because the Fediverse is scary.
