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
I think we all learned to do that eventually. It’s like losing an encyclopedia
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 even people who weren’t on reddit knew that that was a useful trick.
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.
It’s likely to happen here too, no?
RE niche porn subs, same here brother 🙌 Seems pretty slim atm on Lemmy but I am sure it will grow. Have seen a couple. Trying to do my part as well and manage one if you are interested in ‘the posterior’:
NSFW in spoiler:
This is me exactly :/
/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.
Effectively migrating entire subs is an excellent strategy
undefined> AskHistorians
Are they even joining the protest? They weren’t private when I was checking a protest tracking site this morning.
Cmon lemmy, tell us you have a PR team that is actively seeking out the good mods over there
Really going to miss my local subreddit.
We had a weekly rant thread and it was funny just seeing neighbors talk smack or bitch about silly little things.
For sure. My small city sub was hilarious. Always people asking “anyone know why there’s a helicopter flying over our city?!”
Ours was “Did you hear that noise??”
Every time it rained: “We need the moisture”
Denver?
Between that and “OMG is that gunfire?!” when it’s OBVIOUSLY a firework. What with the bright explosion and the fact that people don’t usually skip handgun firing and jump straight to grenade launching mortars.
“Anyone else see those lights in the sky?”
“Visiting soon! Any recommendations?”
“Is [broad area] safe?”
Ours was “Did you hear that noise??”
That sounds just like r/SaltLakeCity
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.
Sounds like a good thing to make on this side
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 mostly will miss being able to google something and adding “reddit” to my search to search for public opinion on day to day issues and problems.
all of the weird, super-specific cute pages. illegallysmolcats, illegallysmoldogs, airplaneears, attackeyes, puppybellies, oneorangebraincell, stealthbombers, scrunge, peanutwhiskers, toebeans, whatswrongwithyourcat, crabcats, huskytantrums.
I… may have an addiction.
r/cancer It was a nice space to find support of other people going through what I’m going through.
I have created a community here (its called cancer just like the subreddit), all we need is more people. You are not alone
I tried to find your community and it didn’t come up in my search. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if there is something wrong with the community
https://lemmy.world/c/cancer does this link work for you?
Yes, that worked! Thank you, I subbed. I wonder why it didn’t come up in my search before
I’m glad that it worked! Please feel free to post to the community, it is going to need content to grow and for people to be able to find it more easily.
Aw, shit, sorry to hear you’re going through that hell. Lost my left nut at 19 to that bastard. Obligatory fuck cancer. Rooting for you! Here’s hoping a similar community crops up here soon.
I’m really sorry you are going through that. Best of luck round-house-kicking cancer in the butthole!
I’ll miss clicking Top of All Time in all subreddits. In here I have to wait YEARS before I can find the Top of All Time content.
For real! Finding a new sub and putting it to the All Time test was always a treat.
/r/history heavily moderated and has actual historical experts answering questions and has a big library of already answered questions.
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!
You should consider making one here. :)
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.
r/talesfromtechsupport
I love those long yarns
I just want to find a place where I can say “Taiwan is number one” and “Putin is a bitch”.
Subs that I used (and will miss) (Also no NSFW subs here)

r/AskHistorians. I don’t think a sub like that can just be remade out of nowhere
