I participated quite a bit in r/whatsthisbug and r/spiders helping identify bugs (mostly spiders) for people. It was something I really liked doing, especially educating people about how spiders aren't things to worry about. Guess I'll just head back to iNaturalist for that content.

Other than that, more niche gaming communities were a big one for me. r/puzzleanddragons is a mobile game I play often and the sub was super helpful for news and game discussion/guides. I hope it can kick off here.

My local city subreddit, r/stlouis. The fediverse channels for it are dead but hopefully that will change. Also r/personalfinance

Really gonna miss the discussion threads for pretty much any (current-ish) tv show, always my go to after finishing an episode. Also asksciencefiction was a fun one.

I’ll definitely miss r/worldbuilding. Lots of people making cool stuff on there.

I think I will miss r/peoplefuckingdying, had a few laughs with that one.

COLLAPSE

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

I will miss all of the pev (personal electric vehicle) subs like electric scooter and electric unicycle. Seeing others on adventures and getings tips and news was great

Looking at all the answers in this thread, i realised I might miss Reddit (subreddits) more than I thought.

Reminds me that r/changemyview also really requires a large pool of participants to have value... Damn, I really liked that subreddit. I feel like it made me a better person.

r/BestofRedditorUpdates I fall asleep reading posts, it's bad (edit, thankfully someone made one here /c/bestupdates)

r/PersonOfInterest because it's my favorite tv show, I'm really due for a rewatch when I think about it

Where my r/futurama_sleepers at

r/knots

r/notjustbikes. The man himself no longer wants to use reddit without third-party clients or moderate the community without access to the API, so the community is basically gone forever unless reddit decides to revert the change, which won't happen. It was the best urbanist sub and nothing can quite replace it.

I'm subscribed to a lot of band/artist subreddits, so I'm going to miss them

Will miss the AFL (Australian Football League) r/AFL

I'm going to miss r/hockey and r/nfl. Reddit was my place to get my morning sports fix. Hoping Lemmy can grow and gain in popularity!

All of the r/ImaginaryNetwork subs. Plus r/DataHoarder, r/Selfhosted

datanalysis, userexperience, uxdesign, digitalmarketing, extramile, watchitfortheplot, coffee and combatfootage

Nosleep and other horror/terror/creepy things subs and some specific videogames subs

r/vexillologycirclejerk

I'm going to miss r/datasets, r/selfhosted and other subreddits that allowed me to tap into accessible niche knowledge. I'm sure there are subs I had not yet discovered, but a lot of the information they collected over the years may be gone. I hope those communities will find their way to Lemmy and rebuild.

FWIW, selfhosted does have a sort of "best of" list on GitHub at: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

Daddit needs to be reborn here. It was/is a good place.

r/Fundiesnarkuncensored, r/Digimon and r/plushies
