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

Biggest ones will probably be r/bouldering and r/climbharder.

The tech related ones will be more likely to have big replacements, but bouldering is pretty niche, so I'm not sure about that one.

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'm someone that doesn't have many friends or many people to talk to about life and it's dilemmas. So when I had any sort of problem I often went to advice type subreddits to talk it out. So yes AITA was one. But also AmIBeingTooSensitive, Relationships, OffMyChest, etc. And I'm a mom so parenting subreddits were a good resource. And also subreddits like LoseIt and PetiteFitness were helpful because I struggle with my weight.

But one thing I noticed before all the drama was that the people on reddit got more and more hateful. Instead of trying to help the poster, they'd tried to find more to the story to make them this evil person. And they'd completely fabricate a separate reality and just tear OP a new one based off of assumptions.

So I was already kinda done with Reddit before the drama with 3rd party apps. I knew that it was causing me more problems than help. I had already started telling myself to stay away. It's toxic. So I'm happy to have an excuse to get out.

So hopefully an alternative emerges with nicer people. Or maybe I should just go find friends.

r/Ilguns I need that to keep up with the gun law changes in illinois and the myriad of court cases going on.

And the r/ukraine and r/ukraine conflict was where i was getting news of the war.

I found a few ukraine news here, but it will take time to get it really going.

Comics. I don't think a lot of comic creators will start posting here, so can't interact with the creator.

With that, also not sure about editing like bonehurtingjuice.

Also, potentially somewhat nsfw subs dedicated to specific people. Somehow I doubt the Lemmy community in general has much interest in that. Too mainstream I guess?

I miss the Apple related subreddits, that community hasn’t really seemed to move over yet.

To be honest a lot of nsfw ones :/

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I will miss all of the pev (personal electric vehicle) subs like electric scooter and electric unicycle. Seeing others on adventures and getings tips and news was great

IdiotsInCars, RBI, aspergirls, and a lot of mental health subs.

The gardening subs always made me feel like I could do anything in my tiny garden as long as I put in the work.

I definitely miss knowledge stuff like r/eli5 r/nostupidquestion r/space r/science r/todayilearned

I browsed reddit a lot learning new stuff everyday while drinking my morning tea. But the thing I miss the most are the comments. So many posts got debunked or verified or explained even more with sources in the comments. Because of course there is a guy or a girl somewhere learning all about one type of drywall installation for 30+ years telling everyone why this wall installation in the gif can only be in 5 mile radius in Norway.

r/KDrama, and it'll be a while until anything similar ever arrives as it relies on recurring posts and a huge community for discussions πŸ₯²

r/bestofredditorupdates was what I read before I went to bed. I’m lost without it.

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.

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

A huge chunk of anime subreddits, some nsfw subs, mealprepsunday and 1500isplenty, suggestmeabook, antimeme, copypasta, coolguides, collapse support, and my city's subreddit (I get to know more about my city, since my residence is far away from the main center of activity). And those small communities for singleplayer rpg mobile games I found interesting. I know they're never going back, most people won't even bother with mobile as a platform for games anyway...

If you are actively looking for a subreddit, try use browse.feddit.de, then you can add it in the search bar

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

I will miss AITA too but also not really.

I miss how it was before it became popular. I liked using it to gain a different perspective on things and to see what my own personal bias lies.

Now it’s just full of ragebait and trolls. Seems like a lot of the posts are just people trying to gain popularity through tiktok or YouTube.

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

I might be older than a fair amount of you on the fediverse, but I'm going to miss Daddit. It was a super supportive community. I'm also going to miss nosleep, I really enjoyed a lot of those multi part stories! Other than that, I think I'm just going to miss all the random stupid posts I saved over the years and went back to here and there for a good laugh.

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

r/greebles for sure! I got into their Discord though!

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

They'll come, I'm sure, but many craft and hobby-based subreddits, including r/wood, r/cardistry, r/MUD (or MUDs?). I'm looking to external sources for that type of learning new skills or topics.

I don't really care for endless memes and shit posting, but deep content takes more time and effort, so patience seems necessary.

R/leaves has been a mixed bag-- lots of repetitive questions, but also some amazing and human stories.

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.

I'm going to miss all of my smaller history/archaeology related subreddits.

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

r/sp404. I miss it so much I might just make my own community here. Although, I’m not interested in moderating it cuz I don’t have the time.

Although, I’m not interested in moderating it cuz I don’t have the time.

I hope there is serious organic outreach to disillusioned reddit mods, because they are a/the crucial key to success.
