There are so many… I used the platform for 8 years and really learned something new whenever I opened the App… I hope a lot of them will find their way over here.

If I’m being honest, I was a big browser of NSFW subreddits and I’m hoping that lemmy will grow and create a space for NSFW communities that are well-moderated and safe.

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.

Since i'm just starting to get into home lab and self hosting I'll miss r/homelab, and r/homelabsales

Ask historians

i’m definitely going to miss r/BuyItForLife. it was really nice to lurk on there and find good quality products like darn tough socks being recommended to people. found my backpack there too and it’s the best i’ve ever had.

I’ll miss all my goofy cat subreddits. They were kind of my go to when I was having a crap mental health day.

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.

Nosleep and its assorted subs... I've been reading there since it had roughly 300 subscribers. I really hope the community rebuilds here.

HobbyDrama and similar subs. They're the Fandom_Wank of the Reddit era and I honestly love every bit of it. I'll miss Rimworld, too.

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.

All the porn and nsfw content. Brings a tear to my eye.

r/StupidFood, I need my daily dose of stupid and disgusting food videos :(

I'm gonna miss /r/stupidpol, mainly because I could never find people I agreed with politically until I found them. I really started to dislike how set in stone the reddit ideology had become. If you differed from the hivemind even a bit you were labelled as "one of them". Like doesn't anyone appreciate the ability to not be told how to feel all the time?

Several of he hobby ones. Ben Eater (6502 based computers, 8 bit computer), local ones, history/science based ones, infosec/sysadmin/etc. ones. There are some Lemmy based ones, but it'll take a while to build up. I'm hoping that I can contribute to them and see them grow a bit. But, others are just where I could comment and enjoy as I lack the real knowledge to contribute very much (the history/science ones that required more in-depth knowledge and not just a "Wikipedia degree of arts of internet research for obscure questions".

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

I'm really going to miss anime_titties; for anyone that doesn't know, it was a wildly inappropriately named serious subreddit focused on interesting, relevant, unbiased world news that actually affected people.

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

I loved r/hobbydrama, it was such a good place. :<

/r/OnlyFans
https://web.archive.org/web/20230325223700/https://old.reddit.com/r/OnlyFans/

r/talesfromtechsupport

I'll miss /r/maliciouscompliance...

r/LOTR for sure... Thinking about that one makes me sad.

First time posting here, and still figuring it out. Excited about the new possibilities. I was a redditor for ever a decade. Throughout the years I've had several favorite subs, and some I simply followed because of the quality moderation and content like with r/AskHistorians. What I'm going to miss the most, however, is the reddit lore and history. The good, funny, bad, and even ugly. From the Swamps of Dagobah, to the rise and fall of u/Unidan.

It's been a good ride with reddit, but I'm excited to be part of a new start and new culture.

For most I don't think people care too much about the larger subs, but the more niche ones. Like I'm a huge wrestling fan, so watching r/squaredcircle go is sad given how it was a hub for all of pro wrestling.

To be honest, I won't really miss any specific subreddit. Many of the niche and hobby ones that I cared for, I would not subscribe to, because of the low-effort posts.

I will miss site:reddit.com most of all.

r/WhatIsThisThing, r/TipOfMyTongue, and similar subreddits. Some of the simplest and best examples of the power of crowdsourced knowledge. Take a simple question with a simple answer that is basically impossible to search through conventional means, but through the power of those communities you can get your answer in minutes. Simply amazing.

Lemmy is going to have to get huge before it can really replace them. :/

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

r/feet

There were the time-sucks like r/amitheasshole that I loved, but what I really miss is the practical every-day subs where people shared valuable information. I am really into vegetable gardening, mechanical keyboards, and a few other hobbies and it was great to go to those subs and ask questions or get information. Vegetable gardening was particularly helpful in the last month so I am really missing it! Also, I was really active in a sub for people with type 1 diabetes and that was a huge resource in my life. Really missing that one.

Non Credible Defense

I need my dose of plane fuckery.

I sure hope people aren't deleting all their old useful guides and troubleshooting posts. Yesterday I was playing Stardew Valley, I had a simple question, so I duckduckgo-ed it and found some promising links on r/StardewValley, but StardewValley was private. Very frustrating. I hope this isn't the norm. So, so far...that. I miss StardewValley. Besides that, I will miss r/bestofredditorupdates

r/spacedicks

Definitely whatisthisthing. There was a truly specialized group of finders there who're unlikely to make the move.

r/PolandBall. I love the history jokes

r/Bestofredditorupdates I have no idea how long it will take any community to develop a highly active sub community for sharing and updating user stories, sometimes with years between updates.

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 was always a fan of the video subs like public freakout and crazy videos, I'm gonna miss those

r/abruptchaos and r/prequelmemes for me
