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

I had just discovered that place too. That was a good one.

Still left the 170k sub I had as top moderator (and really only one of two active mods) and deleted my account of 10+ years on July 1st.

‘Cause fuck em’ that’s why.

R/daddit a big group of wholesome Bandit wannabes that I could really relate to.

/r/Strava and a bunch of the cycling ones like /r/Velo and /r/bikepacking, not very optimistic that there's much intersection between existing subsribers and those willing to leave Reddit for Lemmy but I can always live in hope!

[–] StarLuigi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

I'm going to miss r/BikeCommuting a lot and r/RadPowerBikes

I miss r/neography. It was full of interesting conscripts by so many talented people. The hardest part about leaving Reddit was the loss of these niche communities that can’t be easily replaced over here. I also miss my country’s subreddit, it was nice place with interesting people and entertaining posts. I tried to make a replacement on Kbin but it’s just 8 people and I’m the only one posting. But this is only the beginning, the fediverse will only grow from here and we’ll start seeing these smaller communities appear.

Boru-best of redditor updates

[–] solarzones@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

r/sp404. I miss it so much I might just make my own community here. Although, I’m not interested in moderating it cuz I don’t have the time.

Although, I’m not interested in moderating it cuz I don’t have the time.

I hope there is serious organic outreach to disillusioned reddit mods, because they are a/the crucial key to success.

I will miss AITA too but also not really.

I miss how it was before it became popular. I liked using it to gain a different perspective on things and to see what my own personal bias lies.

Now it’s just full of ragebait and trolls. Seems like a lot of the posts are just people trying to gain popularity through tiktok or YouTube.

[–] FermatsLastAccount@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Biggest ones will probably be r/bouldering and r/climbharder.

The tech related ones will be more likely to have big replacements, but bouldering is pretty niche, so I'm not sure about that one.

A huge chunk of anime subreddits, some nsfw subs, mealprepsunday and 1500isplenty, suggestmeabook, antimeme, copypasta, coolguides, collapse support, and my city's subreddit (I get to know more about my city, since my residence is far away from the main center of activity). And those small communities for singleplayer rpg mobile games I found interesting. I know they're never going back, most people won't even bother with mobile as a platform for games anyway...

[–] devien@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

To be honest a lot of nsfw ones :/

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

r/KDrama, and it'll be a while until anything similar ever arrives as it relies on recurring posts and a huge community for discussions 🥲

[–] MrGreebles@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

r/greebles for sure! I got into their Discord though!

[–] Marduk73@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

r/Ilguns I need that to keep up with the gun law changes in illinois and the myriad of court cases going on.

And the r/ukraine and r/ukraine conflict was where i was getting news of the war.

I found a few ukraine news here, but it will take time to get it really going.

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

[–] YellowTraveller@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

r/todayifuckedup

While most of the stories are fake, I enjoy a subreddit that shows that my fuck-ups aren't so bad, after all.

[–] Camar16@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Here's my first post... I'll miss r/todayilearned, r/funny, r/showerthoughts, r/jokes, r/formula1, r/explainlikeimfive to name a few. Hopefully they'll find a new home here!

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.
