AmitheAsshole. That place provided so much idle entertainment
Very true. https://lemmit.online/c/AmItheAsshole seems to be a relatively up and coming one?
Side question, what's the nomenclature for referencing communities/instances? c/[email protected] seems a bit wordy, but the most specific
Lemmit.online is a bot instance that copies over communities from reddit, all of the posts there are just clones from reddit posts on the corresponding subreddit (without the comments)
Disagree, I hope all those creative writing and "I did the sex" subs stay over there.
IdiotsInCars was always an interesting time
That was my favorite sub. Probably the only one I'll actually miss
I know it's unlikely but ask historians, the moderation required is unreal. More realistic would be bestofredditorupdates for all the mindless drama reading.
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.
HFY is a must have!
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.
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
You're doin' good work B)
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

BestofLegalAdvice always had funny commentary on LegalAdvice
I miss legal advice and bola so much. Always good for some popcorn and learning something.
r/Writingprompts, I loved many of the short stories people posted there.
https://sub.rehab/ has a list of a lot of popular subs that have moved to the Fediverse!
A lot of fandom-specific subs! With the typical main sub/meme sub/nsfw sub trinity, Iβve 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.
Damn I miss r/math, also there are r/opendirectories and r/datahoarder
DankChristianMemes used to be pretty banger, I'm not sure if Lemmy attracted much of the religious crowd from Reddit though.
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.
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
- 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.
I miss r/VXJunkies and r/ThePack⦠I saw a community over here called VX Junkies but it seems more about hacking.
BlackPeopleTwitter had everything. News, laughs, wholesome stuff.
All of them :)
I'd love to see r/techsupportgore, r/spicypillows, and r/redneckengineering
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.
r/selfhosted Seems like they should be on board with moving to something open, but hasn't happened yet
Posted this in another comment a minute ago: https://lemmy.ml/c/selfhost
You keep commenting multiple times. Maybe something wrong with your client?
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.
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.
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
Nice, I also use archlinux
Redneckengineering, unket, middlyinteresring, odly satisfying, swedish problems,
