Honestly, I think the more reliable curated information will be what I miss the most. I almost always append a Google search with "Reddit" - because the information and format are so much more reliable than the bot populated garbage sites.

Also, niche porn subs. 🫡

/r/AskHistorians - ruthlessly and efficiently moderated, but every single post a fascinating read. I should msg Zukhov to see if he wants to move ship to /c/AskHistorians.

Really going to miss my local subreddit.

We had a weekly rant thread and it was funny just seeing neighbors talk smack or bitch about silly little things.

I’m really worried for those who use third party apps and depend on r/stopdrinking. That community single-handedly helped me get sober.

I fear that someone who is on the brink of breaking sobriety and wants to reach out on r/stopdrinking, not being able to access it from the app they normally use would be just enough of a hurdle for them to give in and start drinking again.

Makes me really sad to think about since it can be a dark place and the people there are so genuinely caring.

I mostly will miss being able to google something and adding "reddit" to my search to search for public opinion on day to day issues and problems.

all of the weird, super-specific cute pages. illegallysmolcats, illegallysmoldogs, airplaneears, attackeyes, puppybellies, oneorangebraincell, stealthbombers, scrunge, peanutwhiskers, toebeans, whatswrongwithyourcat, crabcats, huskytantrums.

I... may have an addiction.

Not a subreddit, exactly, but I'm going to miss /u/poem_for_your_sprog and /u/Schnoodle_Doodle_Do. They made browsing so much better - I loved unexpectedly coming across one of their poems.

I just want to find a place where I can say "Taiwan is number one" and "Putin is a bitch".

I'm going to miss many of them, I'm a real reddit junkie. But I'm leaving tonight and don't expect to be back.

Most missed: Witches vs. Patriarchy. Can't seem to find a lemmy equivalent.

Edit: my first comment!

While there were a billion ones I've used as entertainment before bed or during bathroom breaks... I believe what I'll miss the most is the ability to search "problem I'm having + Reddit" and get very precise results with (usually) great solutions.

Definitely r/BestOfRedditorUpdates

r/TalesfromtheFrontDesk, r/TalesFromYourServer, and r/TalesFromRetail. The camaraderie and support among these people, the abuse they endure, and how big their hearts are despite how tough their jobs are... I really enjoyed those. I hope they land somewhere here.

I'm gonna miss none of them because they will all come here

Subs that I used (and will miss) (Also no NSFW subs here)

I miss r/quilting and r/sewing. As a crafter, the knowledge I gain from these type of subs is invaluable

BestofRedditorUpdates

Honestly, a lot of NSFW subs devoted to somewhat niche fetishes. I saw lemmynsfw.com started up as a separate instance for NSFW content, and I'm hoping at least some of these subs make it over there soon.

r/AskHistorians. I don't think a sub like that can just be remade out of nowhere

Local communities. I do not know why, but having people share the same social conditions makes them a warm place, even for gaming communities

I'll miss all my niche gaming subreddits. Path of exile, incremental games, and I even liked keeping an eye on the gacha gaming subreddit. So many more to mention like r/gamedeals, patientgamers, many more individual game subreddits.

To be honest a lot of nsfw ones :/

The hilarity of /r/SubredditDrama

Comics. I don't think a lot of comic creators will start posting here, so can't interact with the creator.

With that, also not sure about editing like bonehurtingjuice.

Also, potentially somewhat nsfw subs dedicated to specific people. Somehow I doubt the Lemmy community in general has much interest in that. Too mainstream I guess?

Subs that deal with medical issues. It was nice being able to go to them for advice or to help others.

Such subs were already niche on Reddit, and given their often embarrassing nature, I don't think we'll see them on lemmy in any comparable form for a while.

Just the specificity of communities you could find.

To name a few I've used frequently the past few months:

r/hardcore

r/doommetal

r/SuccessionTV

r/TheSmashingPumpkins

r/[my college]

r/[the town where I live]

I love lemmy but so far the userbase just isn't big enough to fill a lot of the niches I'm looking for. I'm excited to see the community grow though and I'm hopeful about the future.

I'll miss clicking Top of All Time in all subreddits. In here I have to wait YEARS before I can find the Top of All Time content.

Not ashamed to say trashyboners. Someone's gotta stand up for the trash of this world.

To be honest, so many posts from r/AITA came off as fake after a while, I was already beginning to lose interest. People would do anything for upvotes. Maybe this time we can have less liars, but I'm not so naive as to actually hope for that.

I definitely miss knowledge stuff like r/eli5 r/nostupidquestion r/space r/science r/todayilearned

I browsed reddit a lot learning new stuff everyday while drinking my morning tea. But the thing I miss the most are the comments. So many posts got debunked or verified or explained even more with sources in the comments. Because of course there is a guy or a girl somewhere learning all about one type of drywall installation for 30+ years telling everyone why this wall installation in the gif can only be in 5 mile radius in Norway.

Well, we won't miss anything if we move everything here. 🤷‍♂️

r/cancer It was a nice space to find support of other people going through what I'm going through.

Don't be afraid to create your own communities!

r/Bestofredditorupdates I have no idea how long it will take any community to develop a highly active sub community for sharing and updating user stories, sometimes with years between updates.

Maybe BestofRedditorUpdates, sometimes I really enjoy getting into a nice long story, even if some of them are probably fake. Also some of my country specific subreddits.

R/fountainpens. Other forums exist, but they aren't (a) as easy to use (b) as welcoming to newbies, yet (c) still full of experts.

I'm guessing lots of hobby subs are like that.

Specific game subs, especially smaller indie games

I'm someone that doesn't have many friends or many people to talk to about life and it's dilemmas. So when I had any sort of problem I often went to advice type subreddits to talk it out. So yes AITA was one. But also AmIBeingTooSensitive, Relationships, OffMyChest, etc. And I'm a mom so parenting subreddits were a good resource. And also subreddits like LoseIt and PetiteFitness were helpful because I struggle with my weight.

But one thing I noticed before all the drama was that the people on reddit got more and more hateful. Instead of trying to help the poster, they'd tried to find more to the story to make them this evil person. And they'd completely fabricate a separate reality and just tear OP a new one based off of assumptions.

So I was already kinda done with Reddit before the drama with 3rd party apps. I knew that it was causing me more problems than help. I had already started telling myself to stay away. It's toxic. So I'm happy to have an excuse to get out.

So hopefully an alternative emerges with nicer people. Or maybe I should just go find friends.

Ask historians

r/feet

All of the TV series subs and the discussions. It's great after watching an episode to join the discussion with others.

I'm not going to miss any, because we are going to recreate them here! :)

There was a lot of leftist communities on reddit that I hope survive in some form fuckcars, antiwork, fucklawns, breadtube.

r/ukraine I really hope to see something similar here soon.

I won't miss many individual subs, but I will miss the totality of communities.

I will miss that, if I had a problem or question about X, there was almost always a sub for X, and it was usually the best place to get information from people that have some sort of clue.

Example: when it came to weird behaviors from my Samsung Odyssey G7 monitor, /r/Monitors was the only place with clear, focused discussion about it. The Samsung web forums had some people complaining too, but nobody actually sticks around the Samsung forums to have ongoing discussions, so getting a full picture of what people are experiencing was a lot harder. Plus, those kind of forums are always filled with a lot of Yahoo Answers quality of posts, so you have to sift through so much junk to find any usable info.

I've had this experience so many times with Reddit. That's what I'm most afraid of losing.

All the cat subs. If I was having a shitty day I could always go to reddit and look at other people's cats.

/r/apolloapp

Indie game communities, I just love looking at niche memes you only understand if you have played those games, and don't let me get started on the amazing art people put in there. There are some talented and passionate people out there, I hope eventually some hop over here.

Game specific ones. /r/hyruleengineering and /r/darktide as recent ones.

All the /r/_irl communities. The later seems like one I could probably just start and post in, even if no one else sees them.

I'll miss the meta subreddits like lostredditors, switcheroo, SubredditSimulator and SubSimulatorGPT2. I'll miss niche communities built around less mainstream games and shows. I'm really going to miss DaystromInstitute and SonicShowerThoughts.

Overall my biggest concern is over the giant stockpile of years of community answers to all kinds of questions. If Reddit falls what happens to all of that? How do we pick up the slack if it does?

my first comment!

i’m going to miss formuladank. i’ll try to start every single sub i’ll miss on here though. my account is only a few minutes old

r/Fedora and r/ThinkPad. Those are the two I spent the most time in. I will also really miss my guilty pleasure subreddits like r/gaystoriesgonwild, r/Twinks, and r/GayKink. Haha.

No time like the present! This place is 10 days old, so get making the places you wish to see :) I intend to get NoSleep an early start, but am far from experienced enough. That's fine though, it's all new for everyone here

Since i'm just starting to get into home lab and self hosting I'll miss r/homelab, and r/homelabsales

I'm going to miss a lot of the hobby subs like r/Unclebens and r/datahoarder but I'm excited to see how they grow here

• r/Android
• r/androidafterlife
• r/androidapps
• r/antiwork
• r/CrackWatch
• r/DataHoarder
• r/fossdroid
• r/GameDeals
• r/MouseReview
• r/opensource
• r/patientgamers
• r/Piracy
• r/selfhosted
• r/soccer

All the porn and nsfw content. Brings a tear to my eye.

The gardening subs always made me feel like I could do anything in my tiny garden as long as I put in the work.

r/Buttcoin

All the mycology subs, but I'm thinking of rebooting them here. All the synthesizer subs. All the subs with eerie places like r/AbandonedPorn, r/RustyRails etc.

I'm going to miss browsing r/all for a good laugh and interesting stuff. I'm going to miss stumbling upon random subreddits with topics and interests I didn't even know existed like r/Jarrarium, r/DesirePath or r/ThatBathroomMazeDream

I'm gonna miss /r/buttcoin. It's a great place to watch crypto bros lose everything. How will I know when cz is arrested?

r/StupidFood, I need my daily dose of stupid and disgusting food videos :(

If I’m being honest, I was a big browser of NSFW subreddits and I’m hoping that lemmy will grow and create a space for NSFW communities that are well-moderated and safe.

There are so many… I used the platform for 8 years and really learned something new whenever I opened the App… I hope a lot of them will find their way over here.

I’ll miss all my goofy cat subreddits. They were kind of my go to when I was having a crap mental health day.

I'm going to miss all the curly hair subs, it's a niche topic but something I feel like I know a lot about. I really wanted a text based of the main sub though, apparently I found r/curlyhaircare is like that. Going to not go on reddit though as much as possible.

/r/anime_titties, which despite the name was a world new aggregator sub that did a great job of not being too euro-centric. The best part that it brought people from many political ideologies and countries, so it was far less of an echo-chamber than most news subs. It still trended left, but it was a good mix.

I might be older than a fair amount of you on the fediverse, but I'm going to miss Daddit. It was a super supportive community. I'm also going to miss nosleep, I really enjoyed a lot of those multi part stories! Other than that, I think I'm just going to miss all the random stupid posts I saved over the years and went back to here and there for a good laugh.

Nosleep and its assorted subs... I've been reading there since it had roughly 300 subscribers. I really hope the community rebuilds here.

HobbyDrama and similar subs. They're the Fandom_Wank of the Reddit era and I honestly love every bit of it. I'll miss Rimworld, too.

I will miss AITA too but also not really.

I miss how it was before it became popular. I liked using it to gain a different perspective on things and to see what my own personal bias lies.

Now it’s just full of ragebait and trolls. Seems like a lot of the posts are just people trying to gain popularity through tiktok or YouTube.

/r/history heavily moderated and has actual historical experts answering questions and has a big library of already answered questions.

I'm really going to miss BestofRedditorUpdates. I could literaly spend hours reading.

i’m definitely going to miss r/BuyItForLife. it was really nice to lurk on there and find good quality products like darn tough socks being recommended to people. found my backpack there too and it’s the best i’ve ever had.

So many...

Wallstreetbets, NonCredibleDefense, all the comedy and podcast subs dunking on Joe Rogan. Last couple years though I got heavy into NFL Meme War subs. Those had some top tier content during the NFL season.

bestofredditorupdates, watercolor, embroidery, fitness, fundiesnarkuncensored, cooking.. there’s a lot. This is so sad and I hope Lemmy really takes off. And if it does I hope some of these talented developers make bad ass apps for it

For me, I liked more niche subreddits like r/Paranormal and r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix - along with the local city subs. There's no place like local

/r/OnlyFans
https://web.archive.org/web/20230325223700/https://old.reddit.com/r/OnlyFans/

The medical subreddits. So, SO much information for people. When I was newly diagnosed with something, it was very helpful to go to the sub and see how others’ lives were, tips on management, and med side effects.

The very specific animal subreddits like blurrypicturesofdogs or catsinwaterpackages. Always fun to find new ones or suddenly see something pop up from one of them again.

It’s just cool to see the variety of refugees here sharing memories of their previous communities in the once glorious homeland made uninhabitable by the authoritarian regime.

I think losing the ability to lurk in active communities of people I disagree with politically. I would never engage as it didn't seem right, especially down/upvoting, but It was always interesting to see things from the other perspective.

So places like r/tories, r/conservative, r/prolife, r/liberalgunowners - as a guy from the UK a lot of the subjects discussed in a few of those didn't affect me but I always prefer seeing things from both sides (even if I would never agree with them)

r/PolandBall. I love the history jokes

r/sffpc, r/iiiiiiitttttttttttt, and r/techsupportgore mostly

Polandball (the mods have said they don't support the protest)

Also tales from tech support

I loved r/hobbydrama, it was such a good place. :<

r/bestofredditorupdates was what I read before I went to bed. I’m lost without it.

Idiotsincars... but there are just *so many *idiots out there so I'm sure I'll find a replacement for it.

Daddit 100%

I'm really going to miss anime_titties; for anyone that doesn't know, it was a wildly inappropriately named serious subreddit focused on interesting, relevant, unbiased world news that actually affected people.

Shout-out to all the nephews on r/NBA

Going to miss the shitty takes and off-season content

Several of he hobby ones. Ben Eater (6502 based computers, 8 bit computer), local ones, history/science based ones, infosec/sysadmin/etc. ones. There are some Lemmy based ones, but it'll take a while to build up. I'm hoping that I can contribute to them and see them grow a bit. But, others are just where I could comment and enjoy as I lack the real knowledge to contribute very much (the history/science ones that required more in-depth knowledge and not just a "Wikipedia degree of arts of internet research for obscure questions".

Hey everyone, I just joined 5 minutes ago. Been a Redditor for 7y 2m. I’m actually really going to miss reddit and many of the communities such as r/idiotsincars, r/catastrophicfailures, and well a couple hundred more over followed over the years. I’m hoping I can find more community here though. I never felt connected to the users on Reddit. Maybe it will be different here.

Definitely whatisthisthing. There was a truly specialized group of finders there who're unlikely to make the move.

I miss the Apple related subreddits, that community hasn’t really seemed to move over yet.

Going to miss r/theocho.

I'll miss those obscure highly specific traditional Italian games.

r/AskHistorians - mostly because of the unprecedented quality of moderation r/MaleFashionAdvice - helped me appreciate fashion and nice clothes

/r/Strava and a bunch of the cycling ones like /r/Velo and /r/bikepacking, not very optimistic that there's much intersection between existing subsribers and those willing to leave Reddit for Lemmy but I can always live in hope!

The big video game communities and the Linux communities I was in. Lots of people makes it loud and dumb but also makes for good content to rise to the top

Homelab, rimworld, explainlikeimfive, and oneorangebraincell.

I might try making a rimworld community.

• Daddit
• Datahoarder
• NBA
• LegalAdvise
• Pokémon

All of them. There’s so much collective knowledge stored in the comments, posts and subreddit menus, and it’s going to disappear. Stupid spez

r/crochet and r/lotrmems the most!

r/castiron

Such a friendly community, always good vibes

Pretty sure AITA, TIFU etc were mostly badly written fan fiction lol. Some of those stories were so far from anything that could happen in reality. I hate being so cynical and critical of everything.. ignorance is bliss

I'm going to miss r/bushcraft, r/hammocks, r/ebikes, and even r/worldpolitics lol

R/buildapcsales, r/animemes, and r/leopardsatemyface for sure

Not gonna lie, but for me, it's gonna be mostly the hobby relaxed ones like

• r/diydrones
• r/fpv
• r/radiocontrol because I don't think many of them are willing to switch to another platform. The tech subs about 3d printing and stuff already exist here and simply need to grow.

Well first off, I'm gonna miss my favorite nerdy subreddits. r/wow, r/Morrowind, r/Oblivion, r/Skyrim, r/Elderscrolls, and even r/trueSTL. Happy that Skyrimmods is here though!

Aside from that though, r/botchedsurgeries, r/amitheasshole, and r/hobbydrama.

The rest would be various animal subs, but hopefully, they find new homes quickly.

Am I The Asshole and all the crafting subs - quilting, sewing, cross stitch

I am going to miss just a lot of the lighthearted stuff that gave me an escape from work: HighQualityGIFs, WallStBets, funny, holdmycosmo, etc

Always been a big user of subreddits that focus on my hobbies and interests. Hopefully those transfer over here soon enough.

They'll come, I'm sure, but many craft and hobby-based subreddits, including r/wood, r/cardistry, r/MUD (or MUDs?). I'm looking to external sources for that type of learning new skills or topics.

I don't really care for endless memes and shit posting, but deep content takes more time and effort, so patience seems necessary.

R/leaves has been a mixed bag-- lots of repetitive questions, but also some amazing and human stories.

There were the time-sucks like r/amitheasshole that I loved, but what I really miss is the practical every-day subs where people shared valuable information. I am really into vegetable gardening, mechanical keyboards, and a few other hobbies and it was great to go to those subs and ask questions or get information. Vegetable gardening was particularly helpful in the last month so I am really missing it! Also, I was really active in a sub for people with type 1 diabetes and that was a huge resource in my life. Really missing that one.

r/WhatIsThisThing, r/TipOfMyTongue, and similar subreddits. Some of the simplest and best examples of the power of crowdsourced knowledge. Take a simple question with a simple answer that is basically impossible to search through conventional means, but through the power of those communities you can get your answer in minutes. Simply amazing.

Lemmy is going to have to get huge before it can really replace them. :/

People are going to hate me for this but I'll miss the furry subreddits like r/furry and r/furryartschool, there's a lot of cute and wholesome art posted there.

Also going to miss r/AromanticAsexual that was a good support community to discuss aspects of being aromantic-asexual and the hardships that come with it.

I'm really hoping that they'll eventually come here to Lemmy.

r/talesfromtechsupport

For most I don't think people care too much about the larger subs, but the more niche ones. Like I'm a huge wrestling fan, so watching r/squaredcircle go is sad given how it was a hub for all of pro wrestling.

IdiotsInCars, RBI, aspergirls, and a lot of mental health subs.

I sure hope people aren't deleting all their old useful guides and troubleshooting posts. Yesterday I was playing Stardew Valley, I had a simple question, so I duckduckgo-ed it and found some promising links on r/StardewValley, but StardewValley was private. Very frustrating. I hope this isn't the norm. So, so far...that. I miss StardewValley. Besides that, I will miss r/bestofredditorupdates

To be honest, I won't really miss any specific subreddit. Many of the niche and hobby ones that I cared for, I would not subscribe to, because of the low-effort posts.

I will miss site:reddit.com most of all.

r/Traa, r/MTF, and r/transytalk are big ones for me. I got a lot of support with my transition through Reddit but know all those support networks are gone.

I'll miss /r/maliciouscompliance...

r/LOTR for sure... Thinking about that one makes me sad.

First time posting here, and still figuring it out. Excited about the new possibilities. I was a redditor for ever a decade. Throughout the years I've had several favorite subs, and some I simply followed because of the quality moderation and content like with r/AskHistorians. What I'm going to miss the most, however, is the reddit lore and history. The good, funny, bad, and even ugly. From the Swamps of Dagobah, to the rise and fall of u/Unidan.

It's been a good ride with reddit, but I'm excited to be part of a new start and new culture.

Definitely hobbydrama and nosleep.

whole food plant based discussions. I was just starting to use Reddit more than ever before and now I am gonna feel lost without a place to chat about things.

r/chess. I'd love to see chess communities flourish here in Lemmy.

r/noncredibledefense 100%. they've reliably proved to be the most reliable right source about the war in ukraine. also extremely funny.

Dumb stuff I'm interested in like:

One piece, guitar pedals/lessons, some jerk subs, nfl for football season, and a few of the more popular ones.

First post here!

My local country subreddit. There was some country spesific humour there that are hard to find elsewhere.

Smaller specific subs like the city close to me. I see that Midwest instance is pretty big which is cool

I'm definitely gonna miss some of the AMAs.

I’m going to miss the non-technical subreddits I visit. I’m sure all the ones geared toward techy people will end up migrating, but the others… I’m not sure. And I’m not interested in running anything myself, it’s more responsibility than I want. The niche ones will be hard to find as well - sometimes I just want pictures of snakes with hats!

• r/thesims
• r/fountainpens
• r/snakeswithhats
• r/shittygifrecipes
• my city’s subreddit

r/CatsStandingUp
r/creativecoding
r/fucklawns
r/MightyHarvest
r/MLS
r/Typography
r/Vexillology

For my other interests in music and technology, there are lots of other places to find community. These were more special to Reddit.

r/CasualConversation

A wholesome group of great people just chatting away.

Grimdank and all the shitposting subreddits

/r/nobuy, they are a very supportive community.

r/unresolvedmysteries

For me it's the German ones. I moved to Australia in the late 90s, and they help me keep up with things a tiny bit, so the culture shock isn't too big on my rare outings back home.

Also cats. Cats are nice.

Here's my first post... I'll miss r/todayilearned, r/funny, r/showerthoughts, r/jokes, r/formula1, r/explainlikeimfive to name a few. Hopefully they'll find a new home here!

I'm a bug enthusiast, so insect specific subreddits like r/moth r/weevil r/entomology

Game ones for all my random niche games I like.

But also I have a lot of health problems so going to those specific subs with my specific problem and knowing I'm not crazy felt really liberating. I know there's a new disability thing on here, but collectively being in a community with the people who have my specific problem made me feel less alone.

Non Credible Defense

I need my dose of plane fuckery.

@TinMaus

r/HFY
r/HumansAreSpaceOrcs
r/TwoSentenceHorror

https://sh.itjust.works/c/haso

Console and individual game ones mostly, also my local subreddit (japanlife). I'm sure I'll learn to live without them eventually, but I'm just so used to that structure that it's going to be hard at first...

The thing I will miss the most though is how RiF allows me to instantly jump to a subreddit just by typing a part of its name, no need to subscribe or anything. This is how I've been browsing for years, so having everything combined together is hard to get used to. I'll manage in time, hopefully.

Wherever we live, subs for our local communities will be missed.

Shitposting/humour subreddits for niche topics, like r/languagelearningjerk, r/vexillologycirclejerk and r/worldjerking

All my hobby subreddits (origami, bouldering, cubers). Not nearly as big as a lot of other subs but they're great

I visit /r/cars A LOT. I'm going to miss that one.

I suspect a new CARS community will pop up here pretty soon, though.

R/reddevils. We are trying to reform it here but it will take time

r/castiron r/cremposting r/absoluteunits r/old_recipes all my favorite corners of the internet

all the kink subreddits. not the ones that were just fap material cuz you can find that anywhere, but it was great seeing people talk earnestly about what makes kinks click for them and what it is they love about them

/r/gamedeals, /r/buildapcsales

Those are the ones I found really useful for keeping up with deals and benefits from a large community. There's sites like pcpartpicker and isthereanydeals, but it helped getting "curated" deals instead of having to spend any time looking through everything myself.

R/daddit a big group of wholesome Bandit wannabes that I could really relate to.

r/AITA, I second that one r/politics r/AskReddit r/News r/Rap r/Unpopularopinion r/Genz r/cars r/LateStageCapitalism

As a regular user of those subreddits, I'm going to miss them

Reddit was better than pornhub:

/r/paag ( /u/hayleyxyz, /u/due_return_719) /r/realasians /r/tightdresses /r/nsfw /r/nsfw_gif

r/aspiememes

I was always a fan of the video subs like public freakout and crazy videos, I'm gonna miss those

Is there a way of finding popular communities across the federated lemmyverse? And on a smaller scale can I find popular communities on my instance?

Edit: leaving for posterity, but! there’s a “local” and an “all” in the communities browser: https://lemmy.world/communities/listing_type/All/page/1

r/greebles for sure! I got into their Discord though!

r/abruptchaos and r/prequelmemes for me

r/spacedicks

The meme / shit post subs /wetlanderhumor /cremposting /shittydaystrom /aspiememes /tenagra /adhdmemes /dankchristianmemes /mathmemes

And then local subs, cause love me some local drama.

Bikini bottom Twitter, games, steamdeck, dank memes.

These were my go to on Reddit.

Forwards from grandma. HI JENICE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. YOUR AUNT HAD VASECTOMY LAST WEEK AND PASSED AWAY IN HER SLEEP. L.O.L. XXX

The vinyl releases sub. It's how I built my collection.

I'll miss niche subreddits for small communities that can't really be replicated anywhere else.

Another Plebbit refugee here. I liked r/RoleReversal and r/neverchangejapan. Honourable mention: r/piracy =)

Let's create them here, this could be the beginning of something beautiful!! Btw, Lemmur or Jerboa like app for Lemmy? 🤔

r/cfb. That sub is so fun during the college football season, even in the off-season it's an entertaining place. It will be sorely missed.

I will miss, among others:

r/darksouls

r/blender

r/dalle2

r/IASIP

r/youdontmattergiveup

r/SteamDeck

r/anime_titties

r/EatCheapAndHealthy

But I am hoping to find new and interesting communities to explore over here. Will have to figure out how to format my posts.

r/mademesmile , wholesome but with more substance than just memes.

SquaredCircle and also r/thefighterandthekid. Homeless cats know

the smaller gimmick subs, like hydrohomies the_pack. and those 2 specifically had such a positive community which is such a great breath away from the dumpster fire that is reddit

The countless specific cat subreddits. The Gundam and gunpla communities. These can pop back up over here but it will take time for things to feel the same.

CuratedTumblr and 196, if they fall apart. I know people there, it's tragic to think that it'll all disperse.

(This is Polenball if anyone was wondering)

Weird niche ones like r/SpecEvoJerking. Speculative evolution is already super niche and that's a parody sub about it.

r/rimworld love the game, love the community, there is a community here on lemmy, but it only has 18 subs, so I'm afraid it won't be the same ):

several shitpost community, gamedev community like r/unrealengine r/cryengine, non-tech communities like r/limerence r/socialskills r/adhd, and probably some game community like r/kingdomcome, and more non-tech communities that are actively talk & shitpost about life, human, movie series, music band, youtube community, etc.

r/tumblr & r/curatedtumblr because they post some of the most interesting stuff from Tumblr instead of me searching for them by myself.

r/ThinkPad because they're my source of porn

r/AnarchyChess because en passant jokes are unironically funny to me somehow. I myself don't subscribed to AnarchyChess or playing chess myself lmaooo

Going to miss the steamdeck sub. Was a good one full of interesting tips and skins for the deck

I guess it depends on which ones don’t move here. Right now it’s all of them, but that might improve later.

• Prequelmemes
• Freefolk
• Bumpers

Handwriting. I hope to see it here, because i am not looking back! >

A huge chunk of anime subreddits, some nsfw subs, mealprepsunday and 1500isplenty, suggestmeabook, antimeme, copypasta, coolguides, collapse support, and my city's subreddit (I get to know more about my city, since my residence is far away from the main center of activity). And those small communities for singleplayer rpg mobile games I found interesting. I know they're never going back, most people won't even bother with mobile as a platform for games anyway...

KitchenConfidential for sure, that was my go to sub for having a laugh.

And getting slight PTSD

A whole bunch of the ones around tabletop games. Mini painting, terrainbuilding, some of the game-specific subreddits that always have loads of userafe content.

If anyone has spotted these communities here in federation space please let me know; I didn't find any so far.

I think I will miss r/peoplefuckingdying, had a few laughs with that one.

/r/warframe seems like a long ways to go to get DE to have a presence here.

/r/homeautomation, but not its relentless promotion of HomeAssistant

/r/permaculture which always had inspirations and answers

A lot of the smaller communities, and political ones.

And I'll miss the history, like, we have subreddits going years back. Subreddits full of stories and whatnot.

Hopefully it kinda mulls over in a few days, I dont really see it resulting in anything too permanent. Though I'm often wrong.

I participated quite a bit in r/whatsthisbug and r/spiders helping identify bugs (mostly spiders) for people. It was something I really liked doing, especially educating people about how spiders aren't things to worry about. Guess I'll just head back to iNaturalist for that content.

Other than that, more niche gaming communities were a big one for me. r/puzzleanddragons is a mobile game I play often and the sub was super helpful for news and game discussion/guides. I hope it can kick off here.

I'm definitely going to miss LOTRmemes, PrequelMemes, CFB, ExperiencedDevs, CSCareerQuestions. a bunch of others, I was on reddit a long time. I'm definitely ripping of the bandaid here

COLLAPSE

Call me a doomer if you want, but i think we're gonna be way fucked a lot sooner than expected climate-wise

r/houseplants and r/food. I loved browsing aimlessly through all the pictures and seeing pets in the background.

My local city subreddit, r/stlouis. The fediverse channels for it are dead but hopefully that will change. Also r/personalfinance

r/imaginarysliceoflife

Cyberdeck & cassettefuturism

Jeopardy for daily show breakdowns

Local sports teams

A few gaming ones, but I suspect they're here somewhere too

Most of my favorites have a discord, but that just doesn't feel the same. Very hard to wade through all that chatter

/r/notinteresting

I know. That’s not interesting…

A bunch.

r/guineapigs - it was very helpful for new pig owners, and a great guinea pig fix when you're at work.

r/disney* - for a Disney parks nutcase like myself, the various Disney park related subreddits helped me get over the time between visits.

r/bestofredditorupdates - I get frustrated reading posts and not having any idea of how things ended up, but boru allowed me to indulge my interest in others' stories without getting frustrated by the lack of closure.

The list goes on and on.

After just getting started learning to do my own car maintenance, definitely the subreddit dedicated to my model of car

/r/feedthebeast, I love modded minecraft!

Some of the industry specific ones like supply chain or logistics or even insurance were fun to lurk, and get a sense of what people in the industry think of those outside it

Emulation-related subreddits, for one.

Really gonna miss the discussion threads for pretty much any (current-ish) tv show, always my go to after finishing an episode. Also asksciencefiction was a fun one.

/woodworking folks posting about the stuffy the build out of wood.

Going to miss the ask reddit and all the outdoor subs what's this animal ,snake ,spider, and some have subs as well ___

I'm definitely going to miss the true crime/unresolved mystery/paranormal subreddits. I loved the CreepyAskReddit curation.

r/196 - Everyone seems to have split off into 4-5 different groups, which kinda sucks. r/TwoXChromosomes, r/Lies, r/HuskyTantrums, r/UkraineConflict, r/HyruleEngineering, r/bonehurtingjuice, r/catbongos,

x

I will miss all of the pev (personal electric vehicle) subs like electric scooter and electric unicycle. Seeing others on adventures and getings tips and news was great

That’s how these things work. Reddit took its time. I truly think that Lemmy will benefit from apps that make the experience accessible.

I’ll definitely miss r/worldbuilding. Lots of people making cool stuff on there.

/AskAnAmerican - It's interesting to see what the rest of the world doesn't get about us.

Strangely, I already miss Me_IRL and White People Twitter. Both were fun.

Looking at all the answers in this thread, i realised I might miss Reddit (subreddits) more than I thought.

/r/satisfactorygame, cause its a great game, and its subreddit was a great source for knowledge and ideas. Also, /r/hardware, for the same reasons.

r/knots

r/vexillologycirclejerk

Probably the machine learning/AI ones like r/singularity and r/artificial.

r/FunnyAnimals. For some reason, it made me sleep better at nights. A few funny videos with pets and I could end my day with a smile.

I'm going to miss r/datasets, r/selfhosted and other subreddits that allowed me to tap into accessible niche knowledge. I'm sure there are subs I had not yet discovered, but a lot of the information they collected over the years may be gone. I hope those communities will find their way to Lemmy and rebuild.

FWIW, selfhosted does have a sort of "best of" list on GitHub at: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

I'm subscribed to a lot of band/artist subreddits, so I'm going to miss them

r/Fundiesnarkuncensored, r/Digimon and r/plushies

I'm going to miss r/hockey and r/nfl. Reddit was my place to get my morning sports fix. Hoping Lemmy can grow and gain in popularity!

r/mycology was an amazing community where people and bots would help identify mushrooms and other fungi pretty quickly.

sports subs probably... and r/anime... ah and r/idiotsincars

EDIT: r/manga too....

Daddit needs to be reborn here. It was/is a good place.

Nosleep and other horror/terror/creepy things subs and some specific videogames subs

Where my r/futurama_sleepers at

r/BestofRedditorUpdates I fall asleep reading posts, it's bad (edit, thankfully someone made one here /c/bestupdates)

r/PersonOfInterest because it's my favorite tv show, I'm really due for a rewatch when I think about it

All the cat's subreddits

datanalysis, userexperience, uxdesign, digitalmarketing, extramile, watchitfortheplot, coffee and combatfootage

r/notjustbikes. The man himself no longer wants to use reddit without third-party clients or moderate the community without access to the API, so the community is basically gone forever unless reddit decides to revert the change, which won't happen. It was the best urbanist sub and nothing can quite replace it.

A lot of subreddits that have been said I'll also miss, but for me personally I'll miss the Math based subreddits I used to follow the most. r/badmath was a particular fav. I don't have many "math people" in my friend group so it was nice to have a place to chat about differnet math topics and learn. But hey, I'm sure with time we can expect a lot of those subreddits to find a home elsewhere. Hopefully here. I like it a lot so far!

I'm going to miss all the ones that I subscribed to! Hopefully things pick up here and those communities will rebuild themselves here to some extent.

r/GuysBeingDudes

All of the r/ImaginaryNetwork subs. Plus r/DataHoarder, r/Selfhosted

Reminds me that r/changemyview also really requires a large pool of participants to have value... Damn, I really liked that subreddit. I feel like it made me a better person.

futurology, medicalgore, medizzy, okbuddyretard, surrealmeme,bossfight,chadtopia, internetisbeautiful

Will miss the AFL (Australian Football League) r/AFL

Maybe... r/Genshin_Impact

And lots of NSFW subreddits

Edit: and also r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks. Just waiting for the big new area and characters

Biggest ones will probably be r/bouldering and r/climbharder.

The tech related ones will be more likely to have big replacements, but bouldering is pretty niche, so I'm not sure about that one.

r/tooktoomuch

Subreddit drama.

There needs to be a comedy podcast aggregate community. Cumtown/The Adam Friedland Show, Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast, YMH, Bad Friends, Rogan, MMP, TFATK (homeless cats only), etc, etc...

Leafs. It's either that or Twitter, which I will certainly not use.

Luckily there's a Sports bot on Mastodon that duplicates Twitter posts from NHL and Leafs accounts. Will be good enough for me.

If you are actively looking for a subreddit, try use browse.feddit.de, then you can add it in the search bar

r/GymMemes

Easily the most goofy subreddit I had the pleasure of being in.

nba, sffpc, pauper, magictcg and some other niche things.

All the Star Wars/comicbook movie leaks subs

Firefox. AndroidGaming, Android, Windows11,Microsoft, Chrome, SmartLauncher.... lots of various speific support communities. Also valuable ones like AskDocs, AskElectricians, etc. Reddit is a really good way to find advice from people that know what they're doing (of course you have to be careful).

Linux_Gaming, PCMR, EscapeFromTarkov, NobaraProject, My city's sub.

I'm going to miss my local subreddits, like r/toronto and r/askTO. They have (had?) a very active and interesting userbase. I'm going to miss the subreddits for the games I play, like The Sims and Civ. I'm going to miss the subreddits for the TV shows I follow. I'm going to miss the lady-focused subreddits, the cute animals subreddits, the mental health subreddits (which have gotten me through so much), the science subreddits, and the news subreddits. I'm a member of so many communities there that I love. I'm going to miss them all.

The various graphics programming subreddits. Weren't super active but every now and again there were some mind-blowing posts.

artisanvideos. I love a good japanese watch maker making a wooden cabinet in a rainforest with rocks as tools.

/r/aoe2 was one of my favorites. I hope plenty of users decide to make the switch.

Mostly joke subreddits like r/VXJunkies and r/badfoodporn, but also game dev oriented stuff like r/Godot, r/PixelArt, and r/INAT

I miss r/neography. It was full of interesting conscripts by so many talented people. The hardest part about leaving Reddit was the loss of these niche communities that can’t be easily replaced over here. I also miss my country’s subreddit, it was nice place with interesting people and entertaining posts. I tried to make a replacement on Kbin but it’s just 8 people and I’m the only one posting. But this is only the beginning, the fediverse will only grow from here and we’ll start seeing these smaller communities appear.

I'm going to miss all the weird niche subreddits I was a part of that will probably never show up here in force because there's just not enough people on Lemmy to begin the formation of such niche subreddits. The amount of users interested in those things on Lemmy will be proportionally smaller compared to the number on Reddit, and so it will make it just that much harder to have flourishing and active communities around those things.

I miss being able look up any niche thing I was into at the time and find an active community discussing it and making memes.

SummonerSchool and CompetitiveTFT, I know there are discords but I don't like its format.

Just added, I will post some stuff the next few days. Hope to make it active (: c/fuckcars

I liked r/whatisthis and the other subs for identifying objects and places. I rarely knew what anything was and never posted, but I learned a lot about random items!

R/popping

I'm gonna miss r/SubSimGPT2 and it's meta subreddit so much

I am going to miss my programming subreddits and r/halo. A lot of good folks over there.

Sushi, pizza, food, sushiabominations, anything food related really. I used to only browse those subreddits until I got sucked into Frontpage and ended up sucked into a toxic cesspool of derangement hahah...

Anyone know how I can set an avatar btw? I'm obviously too dense to figure it out.

r/backcountry great resource for back country skiing and generally a good place to find awesome photos, trip reports, articles, and discussion. I created the community here but none of my skiing friends use social media.

https://lemmy.world/c/backcountry

Sunrise and Sourdough

r/sp404. I miss it so much I might just make my own community here. Although, I’m not interested in moderating it cuz I don’t have the time.

Not willing to go to reddit to confirm the name, but it was something to the affect of "Animals I didn't know existed" didn't check it much but I did enjoy when something new showed up.

one that I don't see making much sense here for a while was /r/circlejerk. that was prime shitposting on such an ironic level. i think that's the only sub i will actually miss.

I'm gonna miss r/Art that's for sure! I loved how ppl gave different techniques a twist. It gave me hope! Most websites circlejerk around portraits and anime. Also r/depression. I use to reply post when I think I could say something helpful. Today someone committed to hospital and I'm afraid she won't be able to reach us back, ask for help, ask for someone to listen her. There's lots of niche hobbies too. I recently joined 3 and I was thrilled with these communities: r/falloutnewvegas and their witty crossovers, r/Tau40K had some cool painters and, oh boy, r/MechanicalKeyboards.

r/Windows10, rWindows11, and r/techsupport – since they were often the top Google search results for computer-related QnAs

Local communities. I do not know why, but having people share the same social conditions makes them a warm place, even for gaming communities

I don't think that I'll miss any particular one but I'll really miss the more niche shitposting subs like r/okbuddychicanery and r/snapchad

r/WatchPeopleDie

Not the gory/gruesome stuff tho. Good reminder of my mortality. And not to fuck with machinery/cars/guns.

I’m going to miss r/guitar and r/guitar lessons. As someone who just started getting back into playing guitar, those two subreddits were ESSENTIAL treasure troves of tips, information, and guides to learning, practicing and enjoying guitar. Hoping to find / develop something similar on Lemmy…

I thought 196 but it looks like it actually might be getting decently big here maybe so I'll go with TrueSTL those were the main 2 subs I browsed there is actually one here but it only has 2 posts both by the same person and I don't know what to post here's the link in case anyone else wants it ![email protected]

noncredibledefense I didn't understand all of the memes, but I loved the energy.

r/KDrama, and it'll be a while until anything similar ever arrives as it relies on recurring posts and a huge community for discussions 🥲

So many niche subreddits that help me explore my hobbies. Sailing, pipe tobacco. I just got into tiki style drinks and discovered a whole sub-culture I was unaware of around this.

I'm mostly going to miss my local subs. It was nice to stay up to date.

It's going to be nice to get out of the habit of grabbing my phone randomly. I really hate that I do that.

I like small ones like philately, wax sealers, heraldry, Northern Ireland, etc.

Stupid food

r/popping

r/oldhagfashion was a really fun one!

I am going to miss many, one of which is /r/gaybros. I have created ![email protected] (/c/[email protected]).

Twilight’s subreddit and my 2 (very dead) NSFW subs.

/r/whowouldwin :(

Also /r/tiktokcringe, so many of the videos there had me nearly in tears in laughter

canoeing, woodworking, ask historians, and maine.

I'm going to miss the different subreddits for individual games.

Also nonmurdermysteries.

/r/watches

I loved reading the stories on r/AmITheAsshole and r/WritingPrompts. Some others that I frequented were r/Bombing (graffiti/tags) and r/Battlestations (computer setups). Deep love for r/CurseOfStrahd and all the little Dungeons & Dragons communities back on Reddit.
