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.

I'm a bug enthusiast, so insect specific subreddits like r/moth r/weevil r/entomology

Game ones for all my random niche games I like.

But also I have a lot of health problems so going to those specific subs with my specific problem and knowing I'm not crazy felt really liberating. I know there's a new disability thing on here, but collectively being in a community with the people who have my specific problem made me feel less alone.

the official UTDR subreddits. found some of them here but theyre pretty small (like 20 members or smth)

canoeing, woodworking, ask historians, and maine.

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

For me it's the German ones. I moved to Australia in the late 90s, and they help me keep up with things a tiny bit, so the culture shock isn't too big on my rare outings back home.

Also cats. Cats are nice.

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

Professors, Watercolor, Technology, Privacy, Brogress, all the Star Trek subs. Ghosts and Paranormal. Nudism and Naturism. Fountainpens.
