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. 🫡

    /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.

    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.

    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.

    Really going to miss my local subreddit.

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

    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.

    While there were a billion ones I’ve used as entertainment before bed or during bathroom breaks… I believe what I’ll miss the most is the ability to search “problem I’m having + Reddit” and get very precise results with (usually) great solutions.

    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.

    Honestly, a lot of NSFW subs devoted to somewhat niche fetishes. I saw lemmynsfw.com started up as a separate instance for NSFW content, and I’m hoping at least some of these subs make it over there soon.
