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

Idiotsincars... but there are just *so many *idiots out there so I'm sure I'll find a replacement for it.

r/mycology was an amazing community where people and bots would help identify mushrooms and other fungi pretty quickly.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I really enjoyed all the subs where people would ID bugs, animals, plants, mushrooms, etc.

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

Honestly, a lot of NSFW subs devoted to somewhat niche fetishes. I saw lemmynsfw.com started up as a separate instance for NSFW content, and I'm hoping at least some of these subs make it over there soon.

Well, we won't miss anything if we move everything here. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

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?

Shitposting/humour subreddits for niche topics, like r/languagelearningjerk, r/vexillologycirclejerk and r/worldjerking

/AskAnAmerican - It's interesting to see what the rest of the world doesn't get about us.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

And, conversely, r/shitamericanssay is fun for a facepalm

Don't be afraid to create your own communities!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I think what’s scaring a lot of people off is moderation. I’ve considered creating a few communities myself but I’ve never been one for managing. I try to do my part by interacting with communities that have been created and driving activity. Huge kudos to those who are founding these communities though.

Reminds me that r/changemyview also really requires a large pool of participants to have value... Damn, I really liked that subreddit. I feel like it made me a better person.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I miss r/neography. It was full of interesting conscripts by so many talented people. The hardest part about leaving Reddit was the loss of these niche communities that can’t be easily replaced over here. I also miss my country’s subreddit, it was nice place with interesting people and entertaining posts. I tried to make a replacement on Kbin but it’s just 8 people and I’m the only one posting. But this is only the beginning, the fediverse will only grow from here and we’ll start seeing these smaller communities appear.

I had just discovered that place too. That was a good one.

Still left the 170k sub I had as top moderator (and really only one of two active mods) and deleted my account of 10+ years on July 1st.

β€˜Cause fuck em’ that’s why.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Nada. Nothing. I was there for the people, and the people that don't seem like they are just cavemen who figured out how to browse a website left Reddit and reformed every sub I was subscribed to over here already. I don't even have any specific novelty accounts to miss since every single one I knew of hasn't been around for a while as it was already, such as /u/shitty_water_colours.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (5 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.

Local communities. I do not know why, but having people share the same social conditions makes them a warm place, even for gaming communities

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Boru-best of redditor updates

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

A lot of subreddits that have been said I'll also miss, but for me personally I'll miss the Math based subreddits I used to follow the most. r/badmath was a particular fav. I don't have many "math people" in my friend group so it was nice to have a place to chat about differnet math topics and learn. But hey, I'm sure with time we can expect a lot of those subreddits to find a home elsewhere. Hopefully here. I like it a lot so far!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Some of the industry specific ones like supply chain or logistics or even insurance were fun to lurk, and get a sense of what people in the industry think of those outside it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

futurology, medicalgore, medizzy, okbuddyretard, surrealmeme,bossfight,chadtopia, internetisbeautiful

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I'll miss all my niche gaming subreddits. Path of exile, incremental games, and I even liked keeping an eye on the gacha gaming subreddit. So many more to mention like r/gamedeals, patientgamers, many more individual game subreddits.

Subs that deal with medical issues. It was nice being able to go to them for advice or to help others.

Such subs were already niche on Reddit, and given their often embarrassing nature, I don't think we'll see them on lemmy in any comparable form for a while.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I'm going to miss all the weird niche subreddits I was a part of that will probably never show up here in force because there's just not enough people on Lemmy to begin the formation of such niche subreddits. The amount of users interested in those things on Lemmy will be proportionally smaller compared to the number on Reddit, and so it will make it just that much harder to have flourishing and active communities around those things.
