Personally I'm just going to miss the oddly specific meme subreddits like r/breadstapledtotrees and r/suspiciousquotes

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Personally I don't care at all, but I've got a few friends hoping for a good gun group similar to liberalgunowners.

I would like a video group like r/unexpected and r/kidsarefuckingstupid for funny vids to share with my wife at bedtime.

Right now I feel like a new interesting and active community is appearing every hour or two so I'm not in a rush, I'm enjoying watching the whole lemmiverse taking its first big steps

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

https://lemmy.world/c/kidsbeingderps has a similar idea as r/kidsarefuckingstupid as per the sidebar.

There’s also an unexpected on lemmy.ml but it’s dead so maybe someone with a bunch of good videos/gifs can start to populate it or make a new one here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm hoping that Lemmy gets a successor to r/unexpected that doesn't degenerate into a sea of TikTok skit reposts.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (5 children)

My list

Funsies & Weird brainstorming

  • /r/competitiveoverwatch aka /r/cow (I don't play the game but I sure enjoy the juice)
  • /r/hobbydrama (very diverse type of juicy dramas, miam!)
  • /r/overwatchTMZ (/r/cow but extended)
  • /r/valorantcompetitive (same reasoning for the OW one)
  • /r/livestreamfail (don't post there; but is fun to occasionally lurk and see funny stuffs and be up to date with the latest online juicers)
  • /r/anarchychess
  • /r/singularity
  • /r/BestofRedditorUpdates
  • and 20 more cute animal pictures/videos subreddits like /r/partyparrots, /r/happycowgifs, etc.

Stuffs I use for er..... productivity! yeah yeah productivity, that's right!

  • /r/obsidianmd I enjoy seeing other people's workflow and new tools being developed
  • /r/chatgpt (Recently the main sub went to shit with the influx of new users so /r/chatgptcoding or /r/chatgptpro might be better lol)

Subreddits that I often get led by Google search engine and it would be sad if they were to go down perpetually since I would have a very hard time without them...

  • /r/homelab
  • /r/automation
  • /r/selfhosted
  • /r/datahoarder
  • /r/android
  • /r/sysadmin
  • /r/kitchenconfidential
  • /r/appliancerepair/

I'm also very interested in how some different jobs work so I subbed out to these to check on them occasionally... and they sometimes would provide interesting workflows/insights that I can a-hem, take inspiration from...

  • /r/ExperiencedDevs/
  • /r/accounting
  • /r/uxdesign

There's way more but I visit those a bit less, the problem is, I'm not sure if Lemmy can fill the void in my heart but if it does for those main ones (all above) then I think that I can permanently migrate from Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Don't know about any of the others, but I saw Best of Lemmy Updates pop up yesterday.

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

I've seen a bunch of those! You should be able to find them via browse.feddit.de/

What I'm missing the most:

  • AmateurRoomPorn, FemaleLivingSpace, MaleLivingSpace and similars. Plenty of ideas on how to decorate my home, suggestions,..

  • OneOrangeBraincell, Flonkers, MurderMittens, ToeFeathers, PouchCatatoes and other 'niche' cat subreddits. I can survive with the already existing IllegallySmolCats and Cats, I guess.

  • GifRecipes, ShittyGifRecipes, ShittyFoodPorn. Ones for learning new stuff to cook, others.. for learning what NOT to cook thankyouverymuch.

  • HistoryMemes

  • Tattoos

  • Submechanophobia

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

[email protected] is one I saw pop up recently.

[email protected] also.

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

Submechanophobia

Good pull

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Here are the subreddits I would miss the most:

  • Am I the Asshole
  • LegalAdvice
  • Parenting / Daddit
  • thingsmykidsaid
  • whatisthisthing

...and all of the local/regional subreddits for cities / metro areas around the world.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'd like to find a good archery community. I think I want to pick it up as a hobby, but don't know where to start.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Very niche, but I would love to see a (bullet) journaling community on here. it was one of my favourite places to go on reddit. Also miss the fantasy community, but as I understand it, there are a lot of new communities in beta related to favourite authors and such.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'd love these:

  • /c/WoTshow
  • /c/nanocurrency
  • /c/cryptocurrency
  • /c/banano
  • /c/cryptomonkeys
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Personally, not a fan of the crypto stuff, but if you're into it, have you looked at monero.house?

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

Definitely all the question-answer subreddits, like AskScience, AskScienceFiction (though for the love of god please call it AskFiction this time), NoStupidQuestions, TooAfraidToAsk, ChangeMyView (with the Delta bot), AskMeAnything.

AskReddit equivalent already exists: [email protected].

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

AskScience

Miss that :(

I could just go there, see a seemingly stupid question and be amazed by the professionality and detail of the comment section. A bit like XKCD - what if? on endless mode.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

@Timwi

@VoidCrow

Askhistorians was the best subreddit. I hope it makes it over here.

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

I need to see my "Imaginary" art again. There were so many subs with so much variety.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Aw yeah! I loved those! My favorite was r/imaginarycyberpunk!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

r/gainit and r/gtaonline (I don't play gta anymore, I just stayed for the big community)

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

I'd like to see something similar to r/bigbangedmemes or r/blackholedmemes, these subs are about editing heavily a meme screenshot/image at the point to turn it into an un-understandable trippy image, at a point where it's almost a form of art. They are still public on reddit right now so I don't know if it's a good idea to create an alternative here already.

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

Reddit's Reddit. There's no reason to worry about what they do or don't have. If you want to make one, go for it!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Noncredibledefense of all the subs I'm jonesing for that one the most.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

-prisonhooch - fermenting things that really shouldnt have been fermented into alcohol. always a good laugh to see some ridiculous ideas.

-canned fish/seafood enthusiasts

-hot sauce and/or spicy condiments

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

I miss fantasy writers and magic building. I would even be willing to moderate them. But I lack any skills to contribute to them. Not to mention I’m worried that most people are not interested in move as writing subreddits struggle to get off ground.

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

I would so be game for that, am leaving for a trip, will be back at the end of the month, but after that, I'd love to help set it up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I found pretty much everything by now. But I'm still missing:

  • DebateReligion
  • AskScience

And of course some activity in niche communities, but that will come.

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

A populated aquarium/fishkeeping community

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

I subbed aquariums, but the ones I really miss are ponds and wildlifeponds..

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

I'd love to see one for my state and one for my city, I was surprised they didn't exist

I'm a refugee from the other site, and I'm a trans guy. I'd love to see an equivalent to r/ftmover30 - it was such a good resource for those of us who are older, dealing with adult problems like jobs, marriages, parenting.

So many internet spaces for trans people skew younger - that's not a bad thing, it's just not always super helpful for people transitioning later in life, or who are just simply dealing with different problems that come from being in a different stage of life. It was really nice to have a niche where I could talk about stuff that the young 'uns just can't relate to.

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

One for black desert mobile

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

I still need to dig around and see what all is here, but Nosleep was my fave sub and I'm really going to miss some of my fave writers I found on there.

Also, some of the funny cat subs, state/city/specific location subs and things to do in those areas, antiwork, eh...my list isn't too long.
