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

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. 🫑

I literally add "reddit" to the end of a search all the time...thought I was the only one

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I think we all learned to do that eventually. It's like losing an encyclopedia

/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.

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

That would be amazing if the current AskHistorians team moved here. It's legitimately one of the best run subs.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Effectively migrating entire subs is an excellent strategy

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.

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

For sure. My small city sub was hilarious. Always people asking "anyone know why there's a helicopter flying over our city?!"

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

Ours was "Did you hear that noise??"

Why not just start it here in Lemmy? I did for my City and a few people have already started to trickle in without any sort of advertising. The memes have already started to flow!

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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

there was a quote from a reddit exec recently about how awful it was that people were 'sharing things that they wouldn't even say in therapy' which were going un-monetized. sick, sick people

i subbed to lots of mental health subs which were invaluable in the last 10 years. 1.5yrs sober as well. hope lemmy is a good alt; hopefully there won't be any automod bullshit, like towards the end i couldn't even get a post through in /r/depression, i mean my god

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

inb4 Reddit placing targeted ads about beer on /r/stopdrinking.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

This is a thing already, I almost never get alcohol ads until I post about trying to be sober.

This is the subreddit I'll miss most. I'm at about 120 days after 20 years of drinking because of the people in that sub inspiring me. I would start a similar community here but I don't really feel like I could handle running something like that.

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is probably one of the biggest losses. Reddit was my go-to for finding actual answers to questions I had. Without it, you end up with nothing but sponsored articles that don't really answer the question.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

That's an easy problem to solve. When I was 10 and went on a family holiday trip to Advertisistan, I first came into contact with the awesome concept that is Buythiscrap. It is a very sophisticated process, but my parents, who were born in a time where lead was still a perfectly fine additive to gasoline, taught me well during the stay.

Before I remembered the the concept of Buythiscrap, I had the same problems as you, but when looking through the holiday pictures from Scammyphotobooks, which has a really amazing software to work with, the concept came back to me.

There are 3 different solutions to solve your problem, but each of them is easy to shop and has its own shipping costs.

1st solution: Use the first add on Google

If you apply Buythiscrap correctly, you should reward the company that paid Google the most to be on top of the search. Better yet, buy some products you don't even need with the low quality garbage they want to sell you.

2nd solution: Use the second add on Google As an alternative, you can also click on sponsored content nr. 2, as they also paid a great deal to be up there. And we from Buythiscrap really appreciate when companies pay for their products to be shoved down your throat.

3rd solution Scroll down to the Garbagefilledwithpops blog post, where for every three lines, there is an auto play video of unrelated topics and product, and every half a page of scrolling, you are presented with a aesthetically pleasing pop up add that includes a riddle to close it. Remember to sign up for their newsletter, as they will kindly distribute your personal information to companies that take good care of your data and send you relevant product offers.

If you are not convinced of Buythiscrap by now, try to check out these amazing alternatives:

  • Moneyforbillionaires
  • Yourdataisfreeforall
  • Organfarm
  • Prince Bank of Nigeria

Before this entire fiasco, I didn’t even realise googling β€œ____ Reddit” was such a global phenomenon. But I also didn’t realise just how much I relied on these surprisingly specific answers to just about everything until now that it’s gone. Damn… I’ll miss it.

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (7 children)

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.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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.

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.
