I know it's unlikely but ask historians, the moderation required is unreal. More realistic would be bestofredditorupdates for all the mindless drama reading.

AmitheAsshole. That place provided so much idle entertainment

BestofLegalAdvice always had funny commentary on LegalAdvice

r/AskHistorians, r/FrugalFemaleFashion, r/linux_gaming, r/oldhagfashion, r/rabm, r/SkincareAddiction, r/WitchesVsPatriarchy

https://sub.rehab/ has a list of a lot of popular subs that have moved to the Fediverse!

Redneck engineering

Boring dystopia, lost generation, anti-money memes, class consciousness memes itp.

Surreal memes, void memes, deepfried surreal memes, 5'th world pics itp.

Furry_irl, yiff

Would love to see /r/dota2 move, but the mods there are overwhelmingly against it, and the people are split 50/50. ![email protected] is almost exclusively populated by me

Right now I wish all my game subs would recreate on Lemmy. I used Reddit mostly for entertainment, and getting info on games that I'm currently playing is actually what got me into Reddit for the first time.

HFY. I just love the idea. The genre I guess? I also would love to see the old content archived. There are some treasures in there, I would hate to get lost.

Damn I miss r/math, also there are r/opendirectories and r/datahoarder

I need specialized communities for specific types of cat pictures. The Internet is a series of tubes and they should be filled with cats like they've always been.

Also game-specific subs. Those two categories were the majority of my Reddit usage.

Would love if the geopolitics people of anime_titties could move over, a lot of them were supporting the protests and may have considered making the jump. Right now, the only geopolitics community that I have found has 3 subscribers... Also wouldn't mind at some point to have a meta community aggregator like SubredditDrama, HobbyDrama or BestOfRedditorUpdates. It makes for excellent reading material while on the toilet.

A lot of fandom-specific subs! With the typical main sub/meme sub/nsfw sub trinity, I’ve seen the main subs show up here with minimal activity while the meme and nsfw subs are nowhere to be seen. A lot of the big default subs have come here, but the fandom-based subs just exist as tiny communities with several thousand times less subscribers and nowhere near enough content to regularly show up on my subscribed feed.

r/badmovies <- home of truly bad cult films (think movies like The Dirtbike Kid, and not just "I just turned 14 and watched Starship Troopers for the first time and don't understand satire or who Paul Verhoeven is," which is what the sub has basically become on reddit over the past 2 years)

r/r9k <- random gay leftist memes

r/animecirclejerk <- Anime is great, but what's even better than anime is hating anime and the people who watch it for being degenerate pedophiles with poor media literacy (which is what most of them are).

r/trees <- weed lol

r/politics <- so that people who are too young to vote can share their political opinions while skimming the headlines and not reading the articles posted.

r/manga <- specifically links to new one shots and updates on when new chapters have posted, with discussions

r/selfhosted <- this one probably already exists in a few different places, I just need to find it.

r/comicbooks <- so people can complain about comic books while never actually reading any of them

r/todayilearned <- so people can spam mundane trivia from wikipedia you already know

r/amitheasshole <- so people who are assholes can try and convince other assholes online that they're not the asshole in their relationship.

r/leopardsatemyface <- for schadenfreude

r/EnoughMuskSpam <- a place for people who hate Elon Musk and other annoying billionaires to gather.

More than migrate, I want to see the content build. Much of my browsing was looking through obscure threads (in askreddit for example creepiest things online, scariest this, etc. ) and reading comments.

IdiotsInCars was always an interesting time

DankChristianMemes used to be pretty banger, I'm not sure if Lemmy attracted much of the religious crowd from Reddit though.

The main subs I spent most of my time on: meme subs and the D&D and Magic the Gathering subs, do have equivalents on here, which is nice. But I'm hoping they get more content.

What I'm really missing is how every little thing and fandom had a sub. I recently finished watching the first season of Extraordinary, for example; I wanted to see what theories and impressions other people had, and of course there was a subreddit for it. Not incredibly active, but it existed. I'm hoping Lemmy will get to that point eventually.

As a cross-stitcher - /r/CrossStitch. The only thing I miss from Reddit. I joined a related discord which fills the void but I love seeing people's pieces in my feed, discussing techniques, patterns, etc. I'm new here and I haven't really found a cross stitching community yet.

NaturelsFuckingCute.

I need my dose of cuteness every day.

Loved all the circlejerk subs that existed for the communities I liked on reddit, often even moreso than the main sub lol

NaturelsFuckingCute.

I need my dose of cuteness every day.

BlackPeopleTwitter had everything. News, laughs, wholesome stuff.

I hope the anime community starts transitioning.

I hope that One Punch Man and One Piece comes over soon

I'm surprised that I couldn't find a makeup specific community. Not that I would post there but I did try to find one.

i wish more mini painting communities would migrate

r/Writingprompts, I loved many of the short stories people posted there.

I need some more mountain biking based content, it’s my healthiest addiction and I want to keep it fed! There are a few instances but content is lacking at the moment, really no place to post questions either.

I have a server rack running unraid that I may look into spinning up a docker instance if possible so can maybe share in the Lemmy load.

Book of Norman.

The sub mod got it published and everything. The idea was to write a series of short stories involving the same character. This could easily be done here as well. It's one of the only OC subs that I ever saw. Like the Reddit community managed (without any help from Reddit) to put a book together. I still couldn't find a hardcopy to be delivered, but at least it made me a published author theoretically.

I also miss the makemeavideogame sub, which was only active for a a few months. The idea is great, but extremely difficult to do. It was fun though.

Let's create stuff.. not just links.

I'd like to see the smaller fan communities for podcasts populate over here. r/blankies is the one I miss most, but we also need a Futurelings community for Omnibus podcast listeners.

All of them :)

Cfb is here but barely. I think since it never locked down on Reddit, there was very little movement to find the community elsewhere. Not to mention there are multiple cfb message boards elsewhere.

Still I'd like r/cfb and Sync recreated for Lemmy by memorial day.

Wallstreetbets

I want to see PoliticalCompassMemes here, but we need user flairs for communities before that can really happen

I miss r/VXJunkies and r/ThePack… I saw a community over here called VX Junkies but it seems more about hacking.

PrequelMemes would be a big one for me. I know it's one of the bigger ones but it still felt like a solid community.

There's already some pretty established and active communities over here:

/c/Linux /c/archlinux /c/kde

TwoBestFriendsPlay it was such a stream of seemingly random, but somehow cohesive bullshit

I have already found a lot of the same communities here on Lemmy. I am hoping to find new things that I didn't even know was out there. I would suggest scrolling All and subscribing to things that interest you.

I'll miss the breaking mom / broken mom communities

Nbacirclejerk and actual more involvement in nba community that has been made already

r/2westerneurope4you always made me laugh

Edit : just searched for it and it's already here. This place is coming togheter as we speak!

r/therapeuticketamine. It's the only one I go back on reddit for currently. Haven't really seen anyone there mention it though so it seems doubtful.

tihi and pettyrevenge :>))

I miss starterpacks, Hydro homies and the steam deck subs. Some of these are set up but the communities aren’t very active yet

Correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen Lostgeneration on here

• Eurovision, having a community for people who enjoy the contest as much as I do helps a lot. The Eurovision Discord has listed some Lemmy/Kbin communities so that's good.
• Some label- and artist-centric music communities, specifically deadmau5/mau5trap and Above & Beyond/Anjunabeats. Gonna find me a pop community like Popheads as well I think.
• Polandball, gonna miss those the most leaving Reddit. The comics were fun and the balls are cute.

r/selfhosted Seems like they should be on board with moving to something open, but hasn't happened yet

I was missing /r/BoltEV (about the car) and /r/TheCritic (about the 90’s animated sitcom), so I wound up creating them on Lemmy to see who trickles in.

Redneckengineering, unket, middlyinteresring, odly satisfying, swedish problems,

I'd love to see r/techsupportgore, r/spicypillows, and r/redneckengineering

r/linux r/linuxquestions

Old recipes, colorized history, high strange, gonewild (they need a home too), and white people gifs. Those are the ones I have off the top of my head

TBH, none of them. Reddit has has a lot of time to make sure the communities have been culled to the most acceptable to reddit's advertisers. I don't want any of that.
