r/LOTR for sure... Thinking about that one makes me sad.

For most I don't think people care too much about the larger subs, but the more niche ones. Like I'm a huge wrestling fan, so watching r/squaredcircle go is sad given how it was a hub for all of pro wrestling.
r/Traa, r/MTF, and r/transytalk are big ones for me. I got a lot of support with my transition through Reddit but know all those support networks are gone.
Always been a big user of subreddits that focus on my hobbies and interests. Hopefully those transfer over here soon enough.
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.
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
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.
Not gonna lie, but for me, it's gonna be mostly the hobby relaxed ones like
- r/diydrones
- r/fpv
- r/radiocontrol because I don't think many of them are willing to switch to another platform. The tech subs about 3d printing and stuff already exist here and simply need to grow.
r/WhatIsThisThing, r/TipOfMyTongue, and similar subreddits. Some of the simplest and best examples of the power of crowdsourced knowledge. Take a simple question with a simple answer that is basically impossible to search through conventional means, but through the power of those communities you can get your answer in minutes. Simply amazing.
Lemmy is going to have to get huge before it can really replace them. :/
Well first off, I'm gonna miss my favorite nerdy subreddits. r/wow, r/Morrowind, r/Oblivion, r/Skyrim, r/Elderscrolls, and even r/trueSTL. Happy that Skyrimmods is here though!
Aside from that though, r/botchedsurgeries, r/amitheasshole, and r/hobbydrama.
The rest would be various animal subs, but hopefully, they find new homes quickly.
I'm going to miss r/bushcraft, r/hammocks, r/ebikes, and even r/worldpolitics lol
There were the time-sucks like r/amitheasshole that I loved, but what I really miss is the practical every-day subs where people shared valuable information. I am really into vegetable gardening, mechanical keyboards, and a few other hobbies and it was great to go to those subs and ask questions or get information. Vegetable gardening was particularly helpful in the last month so I am really missing it! Also, I was really active in a sub for people with type 1 diabetes and that was a huge resource in my life. Really missing that one.
I am going to miss just a lot of the lighthearted stuff that gave me an escape from work: HighQualityGIFs, WallStBets, funny, holdmycosmo, etc
All my hobby subreddits (origami, bouldering, cubers). Not nearly as big as a lot of other subs but they're great
For me it's the German ones. I moved to Australia in the late 90s, and they help me keep up with things a tiny bit, so the culture shock isn't too big on my rare outings back home.
Also cats. Cats are nice.
See if the lemmy instance feddit.de can help you scratch that german itch. It's growing and has a range of reemerging communities.
Smaller specific subs like the city close to me. I see that Midwest instance is pretty big which is cool
r/HFY
r/HumansAreSpaceOrcs
r/TwoSentenceHorror
Edit: The communities for HFY and Humans are Space Orcs in the Fidiverse

I'm a bug enthusiast, so insect specific subreddits like r/moth r/weevil r/entomology
Game ones for all my random niche games I like.
But also I have a lot of health problems so going to those specific subs with my specific problem and knowing I'm not crazy felt really liberating. I know there's a new disability thing on here, but collectively being in a community with the people who have my specific problem made me feel less alone.
Dumb stuff I'm interested in like:
One piece, guitar pedals/lessons, some jerk subs, nfl for football season, and a few of the more popular ones.
First post here!
My local country subreddit. There was some country spesific humour there that are hard to find elsewhere.
r/CatsStandingUp
r/creativecoding
r/fucklawns
r/MightyHarvest
r/MLS
r/Typography
r/Vexillology
For my other interests in music and technology, there are lots of other places to find community. These were more special to Reddit.
r/CasualConversation
A wholesome group of great people just chatting away.
r/noncredibledefense 100%. they've reliably proved to be the most reliable right source about the war in ukraine. also extremely funny.
Shitposting/humour subreddits for niche topics, like r/languagelearningjerk, r/vexillologycirclejerk and r/worldjerking
/r/nobuy, they are a very supportive community.
Iβm going to miss the non-technical subreddits I visit. Iβm sure all the ones geared toward techy people will end up migrating, but the othersβ¦ Iβm not sure. And Iβm not interested in running anything myself, itβs more responsibility than I want. The niche ones will be hard to find as well - sometimes I just want pictures of snakes with hats!
- r/thesims
- r/fountainpens
- r/snakeswithhats
- r/shittygifrecipes
- my cityβs subreddit
People are going to hate me for this but I'll miss the furry subreddits like r/furry and r/furryartschool, there's a lot of cute and wholesome art posted there.
Also going to miss r/AromanticAsexual that was a good support community to discuss aspects of being aromantic-asexual and the hardships that come with it.
I'm really hoping that they'll eventually come here to Lemmy.
whole food plant based discussions. I was just starting to use Reddit more than ever before and now I am gonna feel lost without a place to chat about things.
Here's my first post... I'll miss r/todayilearned, r/funny, r/showerthoughts, r/jokes, r/formula1, r/explainlikeimfive to name a few. Hopefully they'll find a new home here!
