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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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?

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

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

Thankfully someone already made a similar one here /c/bestupdates, I used to read BORU before bed too

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

Oh good, I was so afraid I would be missing out on vicariously half-enjoying other peoples' drama.

I can't even tell if I'm being sarcastic.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

r/castiron r/cremposting r/absoluteunits r/old_recipes all my favorite corners of the internet

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

Don't be afraid to create your own communities!

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just do it! It takes about 30 seconds to create one. It's going to take a long time before these communities, especially the more niche ones, require full-time moderation. Something like AskLemmy might be a big undertaking, but other niche subs are going to take awhile before it's too much for one person.

And hopefully by that time, others could help out with mod duties :)

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.

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

if this is ever going to be a competitor to other social media we need a shit ton of porn asap.

also lol

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

r/AskHistorians - mostly because of the unprecedented quality of moderation r/MaleFashionAdvice - helped me appreciate fashion and nice clothes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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?

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

Weird niche ones like r/SpecEvoJerking. Speculative evolution is already super niche and that's a parody sub about it.
