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. 🫡

/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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I'm going to miss many of them, I'm a real reddit junkie. But I'm leaving tonight and don't expect to be back.

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

Edit: my first comment!

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

/r/history heavily moderated and has actual historical experts answering questions and has a big library of already answered questions.

I'll miss clicking Top of All Time in all subreddits. In here I have to wait YEARS before I can find the Top of All Time content.

I just want to find a place where I can say "Taiwan is number one" and "Putin is a bitch".

Subs that I used (and will miss) (Also no NSFW subs here)

r/talesfromtechsupport

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.

Definitely r/BestOfRedditorUpdates

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.

I'm gonna miss none of them because they will all come here

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.

BestofRedditorUpdates

So much unnecessary drama, but can't stop reading

I miss r/quilting and r/sewing. As a crafter, the knowledge I gain from these type of subs is invaluable

r/feet

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.

Not ashamed to say trashyboners. Someone's gotta stand up for the trash of this world.

I'm really going to miss /r/writingprompts, I've written a lot of stuff for them over the years. Sadly I don't see a replacement popping up here yet and their mods also didn't bother with the blackout protest.

My local city subreddit, r/stlouis. The fediverse channels for it are dead but hopefully that will change. Also r/personalfinance

All the cat's subreddits
