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.
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.
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.
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/AskHistorians. I don’t think a sub like that can just be remade out of nowhere
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/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 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’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.
I’m someone that doesn’t have many friends or many people to talk to about life and it’s dilemmas. So when I had any sort of problem I often went to advice type subreddits to talk it out. So yes AITA was one. But also AmIBeingTooSensitive, Relationships, OffMyChest, etc. And I’m a mom so parenting subreddits were a good resource. And also subreddits like LoseIt and PetiteFitness were helpful because I struggle with my weight.
But one thing I noticed before all the drama was that the people on reddit got more and more hateful. Instead of trying to help the poster, they’d tried to find more to the story to make them this evil person. And they’d completely fabricate a separate reality and just tear OP a new one based off of assumptions.
So I was already kinda done with Reddit before the drama with 3rd party apps. I knew that it was causing me more problems than help. I had already started telling myself to stay away. It’s toxic. So I’m happy to have an excuse to get out.
So hopefully an alternative emerges with nicer people. Or maybe I should just go find friends.
Definitely r/BestOfRedditorUpdates
I just want to find a place where I can say “Taiwan is number one” and “Putin is a bitch”.
