I'm not sure why this three-year-old post is showing up now, but uh, if there are subreddits you still want to use after migrating to Lemmy you can set them up as an RSS feed. It's so much better and you don't give their site additional engagement or clicks. You can even click the article link from your RSS reader without ever having to go to Reddit. The only subreddit I still use is for my local metroplex/city, since there's not enough of my neighbors on the Fediverse yet. But now I can see every post as it comes in so I can keep up to date with what's going on with where I live and find out about deals and sales.

You just take the URL for the subreddit and add ".rss" to the end and that's it.

Example: "https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditName.rss"

Currently my RSS feed consists of ~1600 feeds and most of them are art accounts on ArtStation, DeviantArt and tumblr, and YouTube channels. I also have regular news, science and tech news, Blender news and blogs, several webcomics (Pepper & Carrot, xkcd, SMBC, Sarah's Scribbles, etc), some miscelaneous blogs (like Wait But Why, Today I Found Out and Picture Of The Day), lots of FOSS projects blogs and release pages, some art blogs, and many LEGO builders flickr accounts.

I think that's about it :grinning face with sweat:

Perhaps you could share an OPML? Sounds like a wave of deep dives into a bunch of different things, and I'd much rather shamelessly profit off of someone else's effort than put in the work myself!

There's probably a bunch of feeds that don't work anymore, but most should still work (I don't think twitter's work right now).

I hope it's useful in a way: https://pastebin.com/C3G18E3t

PS: there's a bunch of local newspapers from where I am, and religious blogs that you might care or not. Sorry I didn't bother to edit it down :grinning face with sweat:

Awesome, thanks. I'm sure I'll pare down the stuff that isn't of interest for me.

If it were up to me, like 90% of the internet would be people sharing the swaths of obscure content they've found and/or curated. Well maybe not 90%, but stuff like RSS feeds and finding obscure creators. And there's be more interest in sharing at the level of OPMLs and open directories, and huge lists of stuff.
