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.

futurology, medicalgore, medizzy, okbuddyretard, surrealmeme,bossfight,chadtopia, internetisbeautiful

A lot of subreddits that have been said I'll also miss, but for me personally I'll miss the Math based subreddits I used to follow the most. r/badmath was a particular fav. I don't have many "math people" in my friend group so it was nice to have a place to chat about differnet math topics and learn. But hey, I'm sure with time we can expect a lot of those subreddits to find a home elsewhere. Hopefully here. I like it a lot so far!

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

r/notjustbikes. The man himself no longer wants to use reddit without third-party clients or moderate the community without access to the API, so the community is basically gone forever unless reddit decides to revert the change, which won't happen. It was the best urbanist sub and nothing can quite replace it.

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?

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

EDIT: r/manga too....

Reminds me that r/changemyview also really requires a large pool of participants to have value... Damn, I really liked that subreddit. I feel like it made me a better person.

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.

I'm going to miss all of my smaller history/archaeology related subreddits.

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.

A bunch.

r/guineapigs - it was very helpful for new pig owners, and a great guinea pig fix when you're at work.

r/disney* - for a Disney parks nutcase like myself, the various Disney park related subreddits helped me get over the time between visits.

r/bestofredditorupdates - I get frustrated reading posts and not having any idea of how things ended up, but boru allowed me to indulge my interest in others' stories without getting frustrated by the lack of closure.

The list goes on and on.

Specific game subs, especially smaller indie games

/r/feedthebeast, I love modded minecraft!

I used to love lurking on AskReddit because there was a lot of interesting stories and topics there

Definitely hobbydrama and nosleep.

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

There needs to be a comedy podcast aggregate community. Cumtown/The Adam Friedland Show, Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast, YMH, Bad Friends, Rogan, MMP, TFATK (homeless cats only), etc, etc...

/r/satisfactorygame, cause its a great game, and its subreddit was a great source for knowledge and ideas. Also, /r/hardware, for the same reasons.

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

Also tales from tech support

Going to miss r/theocho.

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

r/backcountry great resource for back country skiing and generally a good place to find awesome photos, trip reports, articles, and discussion. I created the community here but none of my skiing friends use social media.

https://lemmy.world/c/backcountry

r/196 - Everyone seems to have split off into 4-5 different groups, which kinda sucks. r/TwoXChromosomes, r/Lies, r/HuskyTantrums, r/UkraineConflict, r/HyruleEngineering, r/bonehurtingjuice, r/catbongos,

I'm gonna miss r/SubSimGPT2 and it's meta subreddit so much

r/tooktoomuch

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.

r/crochet and r/lotrmems the most!
