Shitposting/humour subreddits for niche topics, like r/languagelearningjerk, r/vexillologycirclejerk and r/worldjerking

r/bestofredditorupdates was what I read before I went to bed. I’m lost without it.

Local communities. I do not know why, but having people share the same social conditions makes them a warm place, even for gaming communities

They'll come, I'm sure, but many craft and hobby-based subreddits, including r/wood, r/cardistry, r/MUD (or MUDs?). I'm looking to external sources for that type of learning new skills or topics.

I don't really care for endless memes and shit posting, but deep content takes more time and effort, so patience seems necessary.

R/leaves has been a mixed bag-- lots of repetitive questions, but also some amazing and human stories.

To be honest, I won't really miss any specific subreddit. Many of the niche and hobby ones that I cared for, I would not subscribe to, because of the low-effort posts.

I will miss site:reddit.com most of all.

r/PolandBall. I love the history jokes

I'll miss /r/maliciouscompliance...

Non Credible Defense

I need my dose of plane fuckery.

Don't be afraid to create your own communities!

r/abruptchaos and r/prequelmemes for me

r/chess. I'd love to see chess communities flourish here in Lemmy.

r/feet

/r/nobuy, they are a very supportive community.

Game specific ones. /r/hyruleengineering and /r/darktide as recent ones.

All the /r/_irl communities. The later seems like one I could probably just start and post in, even if no one else sees them.

Forwards from grandma. HI JENICE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. YOUR AUNT HAD VASECTOMY LAST WEEK AND PASSED AWAY IN HER SLEEP. L.O.L. XXX

r/AskHistorians - mostly because of the unprecedented quality of moderation r/MaleFashionAdvice - helped me appreciate fashion and nice clothes

Wherever we live, subs for our local communities will be missed.

To be honest, so many posts from r/AITA came off as fake after a while, I was already beginning to lose interest. People would do anything for upvotes. Maybe this time we can have less liars, but I'm not so naive as to actually hope for that.

Let's create them here, this could be the beginning of something beautiful!! Btw, Lemmur or Jerboa like app for Lemmy? 🤔

SquaredCircle and also r/thefighterandthekid. Homeless cats know

r/aspiememes

Another Plebbit refugee here. I liked r/RoleReversal and r/neverchangejapan. Honourable mention: r/piracy =)

Idiotsincars... but there are just *so many *idiots out there so I'm sure I'll find a replacement for it.

I sure hope people aren't deleting all their old useful guides and troubleshooting posts. Yesterday I was playing Stardew Valley, I had a simple question, so I duckduckgo-ed it and found some promising links on r/StardewValley, but StardewValley was private. Very frustrating. I hope this isn't the norm. So, so far...that. I miss StardewValley. Besides that, I will miss r/bestofredditorupdates

Some of the industry specific ones like supply chain or logistics or even insurance were fun to lurk, and get a sense of what people in the industry think of those outside it

r/castiron r/cremposting r/absoluteunits r/old_recipes all my favorite corners of the internet

R/reddevils. We are trying to reform it here but it will take time

I'm really going to miss /r/writingprompts, I've written a lot of stuff for them over the years. Sadly I don't see a replacement popping up here yet and their mods also didn't bother with the blackout protest.

I used to love lurking on AskReddit because there was a lot of interesting stories and topics there

Weird niche ones like r/SpecEvoJerking. Speculative evolution is already super niche and that's a parody sub about it.

r/mademesmile , wholesome but with more substance than just memes.

Is there a way of finding popular communities across the federated lemmyverse? And on a smaller scale can I find popular communities on my instance?

Edit: leaving for posterity, but! there’s a “local” and an “all” in the communities browser: https://lemmy.world/communities/listing_type/All/page/1

Not ashamed to say trashyboners. Someone's gotta stand up for the trash of this world.

I won't miss many individual subs, but I will miss the totality of communities.

I will miss that, if I had a problem or question about X, there was almost always a sub for X, and it was usually the best place to get information from people that have some sort of clue.

Example: when it came to weird behaviors from my Samsung Odyssey G7 monitor, /r/Monitors was the only place with clear, focused discussion about it. The Samsung web forums had some people complaining too, but nobody actually sticks around the Samsung forums to have ongoing discussions, so getting a full picture of what people are experiencing was a lot harder. Plus, those kind of forums are always filled with a lot of Yahoo Answers quality of posts, so you have to sift through so much junk to find any usable info.

I've had this experience so many times with Reddit. That's what I'm most afraid of losing.

COLLAPSE

Call me a doomer if you want, but i think we're gonna be way fucked a lot sooner than expected climate-wise

Cyberdeck & cassettefuturism

Jeopardy for daily show breakdowns

Local sports teams

A few gaming ones, but I suspect they're here somewhere too

Most of my favorites have a discord, but that just doesn't feel the same. Very hard to wade through all that chatter
