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

    Honestly, I think the more reliable curated information will be what I miss the most. I almost always append a Google search with “Reddit” - because the information and format are so much more reliable than the bot populated garbage sites.

    Also, niche porn subs. 🫡

      I literally add “reddit” to the end of a search all the time…thought I was the only one

        Already today I’ve made probably 15 Google searches with the “reddit” suffix only to be met with privated subreddits. It’s a grim feeling, considering my undying support for sticking it to Reddit rn. It kind of feels like passing by the place old restaurant that was always nasty and unhygenic yet had delicious nostalgic food, and remembering that the place eventually closed down and you won’t get that experience anymore.

      I think ChatGPT is going to mean Reddit and similar sites will also become bot populated garbage. There was just now a major problem with this in /r/programming.

    /r/AskHistorians - ruthlessly and efficiently moderated, but every single post a fascinating read. I should msg Zukhov to see if he wants to move ship to /c/AskHistorians.

      That would be amazing if the current AskHistorians team moved here. It’s legitimately one of the best run subs.

    We had a weekly rant thread and it was funny just seeing neighbors talk smack or bitch about silly little things.

      Why not just start it here in Lemmy? I did for my City and a few people have already started to trickle in without any sort of advertising. The memes have already started to flow!

      I was just trying to think of what I’d miss the most when I saw this. Yep, hands down it’ll be my local sub. We’re one of the smaller cities in my country which meant the sub reflected the quirks and experience of day to day life quite accurately.

    I’m really worried for those who use third party apps and depend on r/stopdrinking. That community single-handedly helped me get sober.

    I fear that someone who is on the brink of breaking sobriety and wants to reach out on r/stopdrinking, not being able to access it from the app they normally use would be just enough of a hurdle for them to give in and start drinking again.

    Makes me really sad to think about since it can be a dark place and the people there are so genuinely caring.

    I’m going to miss many of them, I’m a real reddit junkie. But I’m leaving tonight and don’t expect to be back.

    Most missed: Witches vs. Patriarchy. Can’t seem to find a lemmy equivalent.

    Edit: my first comment!

    Not a subreddit, exactly, but I’m going to miss /u/poem_for_your_sprog and /u/Schnoodle_Doodle_Do. They made browsing so much better - I loved unexpectedly coming across one of their poems.
