sports subs probably... and r/anime... ah and r/idiotsincars

EDIT: r/manga too....

Shout-out to all the nephews on r/NBA

Going to miss the shitty takes and off-season content

Emulation-related subreddits, for one.

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

I participated quite a bit in r/whatsthisbug and r/spiders helping identify bugs (mostly spiders) for people. It was something I really liked doing, especially educating people about how spiders aren't things to worry about. Guess I'll just head back to iNaturalist for that content.

Other than that, more niche gaming communities were a big one for me. r/puzzleanddragons is a mobile game I play often and the sub was super helpful for news and game discussion/guides. I hope it can kick off here.

The vinyl releases sub. It's how I built my collection.

/r/feedthebeast, I love modded minecraft!

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.

Another Plebbit refugee here. I liked r/RoleReversal and r/neverchangejapan. Honourable mention: r/piracy =)

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.

Cyberdeck & cassettefuturism

Jeopardy for daily show breakdowns

Local sports teams

A few gaming ones, but I suspect they're here somewhere too

Most of my favorites have a discord, but that just doesn't feel the same. Very hard to wade through all that chatter

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

I think I will miss r/peoplefuckingdying, had a few laughs with that one.

r/FunnyAnimals. For some reason, it made me sleep better at nights. A few funny videos with pets and I could end my day with a smile.

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

That’s how these things work. Reddit took its time. I truly think that Lemmy will benefit from apps that make the experience accessible.

Where my r/futurama_sleepers at

Just the specificity of communities you could find.

To name a few I've used frequently the past few months:

r/hardcore

r/doommetal

r/SuccessionTV

r/TheSmashingPumpkins

r/[my college]

r/[the town where I live]

I love lemmy but so far the userbase just isn't big enough to fill a lot of the niches I'm looking for. I'm excited to see the community grow though and I'm hopeful about the future.

r/aspiememes

Strangely, I already miss Me_IRL and White People Twitter. Both were fun.

r/Fundiesnarkuncensored, r/Digimon and r/plushies

I think losing the ability to lurk in active communities of people I disagree with politically. I would never engage as it didn't seem right, especially down/upvoting, but It was always interesting to see things from the other perspective.

So places like r/tories, r/conservative, r/prolife, r/liberalgunowners - as a guy from the UK a lot of the subjects discussed in a few of those didn't affect me but I always prefer seeing things from both sides (even if I would never agree with them)

• Prequelmemes
• Freefolk
• Bumpers

I'm going to miss my local subreddits, like r/toronto and r/askTO. They have (had?) a very active and interesting userbase. I'm going to miss the subreddits for the games I play, like The Sims and Civ. I'm going to miss the subreddits for the TV shows I follow. I'm going to miss the lady-focused subreddits, the cute animals subreddits, the mental health subreddits (which have gotten me through so much), the science subreddits, and the news subreddits. I'm a member of so many communities there that I love. I'm going to miss them all.

I'm going to miss r/hockey and r/nfl. Reddit was my place to get my morning sports fix. Hoping Lemmy can grow and gain in popularity!

r/Buttcoin

All the mycology subs, but I'm thinking of rebooting them here. All the synthesizer subs. All the subs with eerie places like r/AbandonedPorn, r/RustyRails etc.

I'm going to miss browsing r/all for a good laugh and interesting stuff. I'm going to miss stumbling upon random subreddits with topics and interests I didn't even know existed like r/Jarrarium, r/DesirePath or r/ThatBathroomMazeDream

I'm going to miss r/datasets, r/selfhosted and other subreddits that allowed me to tap into accessible niche knowledge. I'm sure there are subs I had not yet discovered, but a lot of the information they collected over the years may be gone. I hope those communities will find their way to Lemmy and rebuild.

FWIW, selfhosted does have a sort of "best of" list on GitHub at: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

Specific game subs, especially smaller indie games

artisanvideos. I love a good japanese watch maker making a wooden cabinet in a rainforest with rocks as tools.

BestofRedditorUpdates

So much unnecessary drama, but can't stop reading
