I'm going to miss AITA. Even if someone makes it a community, it will take a long time to populate.

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

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.

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.

Don't be afraid to create your own communities!

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

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

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

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

r/todayifuckedup

While most of the stories are fake, I enjoy a subreddit that shows that my fuck-ups aren't so bad, after all.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

I'm going to miss r/BestOfRedditorUpdates for sure. So much time spent reading on there. Came across some wild stuff.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (7 children)

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

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.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Btw I created a new lemmy community for curly hair in case anyone else is missing it.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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?

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (12 children)

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

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.

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)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

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.
