AmitheAsshole. That place provided so much idle entertainment
Very true. https://lemmit.online/c/AmItheAsshole seems to be a relatively up and coming one?
Side question, what's the nomenclature for referencing communities/instances? c/[email protected] seems a bit wordy, but the most specific
Lemmit.online is a bot instance that copies over communities from reddit, all of the posts there are just clones from reddit posts on the corresponding subreddit (without the comments)
Yeah, it's just reposts so the OPs never see any comments here. I learned this when I blocked the bot out of irritation from reposts, and the entire community disappeared lmao
Disagree, I hope all those creative writing and "I did the sex" subs stay over there.
Would love if the geopolitics people of anime_titties could move over, a lot of them were supporting the protests and may have considered making the jump. Right now, the only geopolitics community that I have found has 3 subscribers... Also wouldn't mind at some point to have a meta community aggregator like SubredditDrama, HobbyDrama or BestOfRedditorUpdates. It makes for excellent reading material while on the toilet.
HFY. I just love the idea. The genre I guess? I also would love to see the old content archived. There are some treasures in there, I would hate to get lost.
HFY is a must have!
r/Writingprompts, I loved many of the short stories people posted there.
A lot of fandom-specific subs! With the typical main sub/meme sub/nsfw sub trinity, Iβve seen the main subs show up here with minimal activity while the meme and nsfw subs are nowhere to be seen. A lot of the big default subs have come here, but the fandom-based subs just exist as tiny communities with several thousand times less subscribers and nowhere near enough content to regularly show up on my subscribed feed.
I know it's unlikely but ask historians, the moderation required is unreal. More realistic would be bestofredditorupdates for all the mindless drama reading.
Would be nice to have historyporn migrate as well
Would love to see /r/dota2 move, but the mods there are overwhelmingly against it, and the people are split 50/50. [email protected] is almost exclusively populated by me
You're doin' good work B)
BlackPeopleTwitter had everything. News, laughs, wholesome stuff.
I'd like to see the smaller fan communities for podcasts populate over here. r/blankies is the one I miss most, but we also need a Futurelings community for Omnibus podcast listeners.
https://sub.rehab/ has a list of a lot of popular subs that have moved to the Fediverse!
Solid tip, thanks mate!
You're welcome! π€
BestofLegalAdvice always had funny commentary on LegalAdvice
r/linux r/linuxquestions
All of them :)
I miss r/VXJunkies and r/ThePack⦠I saw a community over here called VX Junkies but it seems more about hacking.
- Eurovision, having a community for people who enjoy the contest as much as I do helps a lot. The Eurovision Discord has listed some Lemmy/Kbin communities so that's good.
- Some label- and artist-centric music communities, specifically deadmau5/mau5trap and Above & Beyond/Anjunabeats. Gonna find me a pop community like Popheads as well I think.
- Polandball, gonna miss those the most leaving Reddit. The comics were fun and the balls are cute.
Damn I miss r/math, also there are r/opendirectories and r/datahoarder
Right now I wish all my game subs would recreate on Lemmy. I used Reddit mostly for entertainment, and getting info on games that I'm currently playing is actually what got me into Reddit for the first time.
Redneck engineering
Boring dystopia, lost generation, anti-money memes, class consciousness memes itp.
Surreal memes, void memes, deepfried surreal memes, 5'th world pics itp.
Furry_irl, yiff
2visegrad4u
IdiotsInCars was always an interesting time
Redneckengineering, unket, middlyinteresring, odly satisfying, swedish problems,
I'd love to see r/techsupportgore, r/spicypillows, and r/redneckengineering
I miss:
r/abrathatfits - those folks took it to 11 for helping people find the best fitting bras - no matter your shape, size or orientation.
r/makeupaddiction - as someone who constantly feels like theyβre putting on greasepaint and not makeup, the sub was great for helping people get their cosmetics game on
r/skincareaddiction. - a great sub for anyone struggling with skin issues
r/haircarescience - another great sub to help people with all their hair struggles
r/loseit, r/cico, r/1200isplenty, and the more discrete offshoots - great for helping me structure dietary goals.
r/hysterectomy, r/diabetes - because support groups matter (and I didnβt find the Hystersisters very supportive when I first went there, years ago).
r/volumeeating, r/eatcheaply and healthfully - lovely food βhacksβ
r/criticalrole (I do hope that we regenerate with Lemmy.world as I believe there is a community of Critters there).
r/aquariums - I used to have an aquarium when I was younger. I always wanted one as an adult, but I have to suffice by living vicariously through other enthusiasts.
r/superbowls - because: owls and because itβs fun to watch the American football enthusiasts get βlost" in January.
There are others (I subscribed to almost 250 subreddits), but I canβt remember them off-hand.
ShittyFoodPorn, AbandonedPorn, DIWhy, PallasCats, CurlyHairβ¦
Loved all the circlejerk subs that existed for the communities I liked on reddit, often even moreso than the main sub lol
r/badmovies <- home of truly bad cult films (think movies like The Dirtbike Kid, and not just "I just turned 14 and watched Starship Troopers for the first time and don't understand satire or who Paul Verhoeven is," which is what the sub has basically become on reddit over the past 2 years)
r/r9k <- random gay leftist memes
r/animecirclejerk <- Anime is great, but what's even better than anime is hating anime and the people who watch it for being degenerate pedophiles with poor media literacy (which is what most of them are).
r/trees <- weed lol
r/politics <- so that people who are too young to vote can share their political opinions while skimming the headlines and not reading the articles posted.
r/manga <- specifically links to new one shots and updates on when new chapters have posted, with discussions
r/selfhosted <- this one probably already exists in a few different places, I just need to find it.
r/comicbooks <- so people can complain about comic books while never actually reading any of them
r/todayilearned <- so people can spam mundane trivia from wikipedia you already know
r/amitheasshole <- so people who are assholes can try and convince other assholes online that they're not the asshole in their relationship.
r/leopardsatemyface <- for schadenfreude
r/EnoughMuskSpam <- a place for people who hate Elon Musk and other annoying billionaires to gather.
r/trees <- weed lol
Also definitely
r/weed <- trees lol
I want to see PoliticalCompassMemes here, but we need user flairs for communities before that can really happen
If it does, I hope it comes over as the original version of the sub when there was a good balance of people from all over the political spectrum and everyone made fun of themselves. These days it feels like a right wing meme sub for the most part where they just make fun of the left, so it kind of lost what made it unique and fun to engage with.
There's already some pretty established and active communities over here:
/c/Linux /c/archlinux /c/kde
Nice, I also use archlinux
r/selfhosted Seems like they should be on board with moving to something open, but hasn't happened yet
Wallstreetbets
TBH, none of them. Reddit has has a lot of time to make sure the communities have been culled to the most acceptable to reddit's advertisers. I don't want any of that.
