It’s just cool to see the variety of refugees here sharing memories of their previous communities in the once glorious homeland made uninhabitable by the authoritarian regime.

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?

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'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.

Daddit 100%

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)

r/sffpc, r/iiiiiiitttttttttttt, and r/techsupportgore mostly

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

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.

So many...

Wallstreetbets, NonCredibleDefense, all the comedy and podcast subs dunking on Joe Rogan. Last couple years though I got heavy into NFL Meme War subs. Those had some top tier content during the NFL season.

Polandball (the mods have said they don't support the protest)

Also tales from tech support

bestofredditorupdates, watercolor, embroidery, fitness, fundiesnarkuncensored, cooking.. there’s a lot. This is so sad and I hope Lemmy really takes off. And if it does I hope some of these talented developers make bad ass apps for it

The medical subreddits. So, SO much information for people. When I was newly diagnosed with something, it was very helpful to go to the sub and see how others’ lives were, tips on management, and med side effects.

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

Homelab, rimworld, explainlikeimfive, and oneorangebraincell.

I might try making a rimworld community.

The big video game communities and the Linux communities I was in. Lots of people makes it loud and dumb but also makes for good content to rise to the top

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

r/castiron

Such a friendly community, always good vibes

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.

• Daddit
• Datahoarder
• NBA
• LegalAdvise
• Pokémon

r/crochet and r/lotrmems the most!

Pretty sure AITA, TIFU etc were mostly badly written fan fiction lol. Some of those stories were so far from anything that could happen in reality. I hate being so cynical and critical of everything.. ignorance is bliss

Going to miss r/theocho.

I'll miss those obscure highly specific traditional Italian games.

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

whole food plant based discussions. I was just starting to use Reddit more than ever before and now I am gonna feel lost without a place to chat about things.

r/talesfromtechsupport

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

My local country subreddit. There was some country spesific humour there that are hard to find elsewhere.

r/Traa, r/MTF, and r/transytalk are big ones for me. I got a lot of support with my transition through Reddit but know all those support networks are gone.

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. :/

Well first off, I'm gonna miss my favorite nerdy subreddits. r/wow, r/Morrowind, r/Oblivion, r/Skyrim, r/Elderscrolls, and even r/trueSTL. Happy that Skyrimmods is here though!

Aside from that though, r/botchedsurgeries, r/amitheasshole, and r/hobbydrama.

The rest would be various animal subs, but hopefully, they find new homes quickly.

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.

People are going to hate me for this but I'll miss the furry subreddits like r/furry and r/furryartschool, there's a lot of cute and wholesome art posted there.

Also going to miss r/AromanticAsexual that was a good support community to discuss aspects of being aromantic-asexual and the hardships that come with it.

I'm really hoping that they'll eventually come here to Lemmy.

I'm going to miss r/bushcraft, r/hammocks, r/ebikes, and even r/worldpolitics lol

I am going to miss just a lot of the lighthearted stuff that gave me an escape from work: HighQualityGIFs, WallStBets, funny, holdmycosmo, etc

Always been a big user of subreddits that focus on my hobbies and interests. Hopefully those transfer over here soon enough.

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

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".

r/PolandBall. I love the history jokes

Definitely hobbydrama and nosleep.
