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

    /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.

    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.

    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. 🫡

    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.

      I miss u/shittymorph but the legend will live forever even though he retired in 1998 when The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table."[2]

    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.

    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!

    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.

    /r/history heavily moderated and has actual historical experts answering questions and has a big library of already answered questions.

    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.

    I miss being able look up any niche thing I was into at the time and find an active community discussing it and making memes.

    I just want to find a place where I can say “Taiwan is number one” and “Putin is a bitch”.

    There are already six communities with AITA already. The largest is 1.6 years old and has close to 300 members. Just join up and grow it.
