We've had a post discussing what subreddits you will miss so it makes sense to discuss the ones that, hopefully, we won't see here.

For me, personally, it would have to be any subreddit about dating. Whether it's complaining about dating or giving dating advice those subs really tend to draw those are bitter about their dating prospects. Just lots of anger and negativity in those communities.

The spammy ones with no substance.

r/nextfuckinglevel
r/thatsinsane
r/therewasanattempt
r/notinteresting
r/mildlyinteresting
r/oddlysatisfying

You know, the ones that kept on coming up on r/all all the time, but where you couldn't even tell which of them it was by just looking at the posts themselves...

Many of those subs started out good, but the content lost meaning as they grew. Subs that were supposed to highlight really impressive stuff became mediocre, and not interesting/mildly interesting became genetic content.

It's a catch 22. In order for a sub to stay good, it needs mods that are iron fisted with keeping out content that doesn't fit. When you do that, the community hates you for deleting their posts.

I agree. I rarely used All though, so I didn't spend much time in these. They are just super vague with no real discussion. All the popular subs like this were more comment and move on kinda thing, like youtube comments lol.

That's why I like lemmy, it's how I was using reddit anyway. Small community, get in to the discussion early. I don't need to have a conversation with 15 people at once.
