I know it's unlikely but ask historians, the moderation required is unreal. More realistic would be bestofredditorupdates for all the mindless drama reading.

AmitheAsshole. That place provided so much idle entertainment
Very true. https://lemmit.online/c/AmItheAsshole seems to be a relatively up and coming one?
Side question, what's the nomenclature for referencing communities/instances? c/[email protected] seems a bit wordy, but the most specific
Edit: actually looks to just be bots posting there for now
Lemmit.online is a bot instance that copies over communities from reddit, all of the posts there are just clones from reddit posts on the corresponding subreddit (without the comments)
Disagree, I hope all those creative writing and "I did the sex" subs stay over there.
I'm hoping that without karma, there will be fewer blatantly fake upvote-farming posts.

BestofLegalAdvice always had funny commentary on LegalAdvice
First we need an active legaladvice too
https://sub.rehab/ has a list of a lot of popular subs that have moved to the Fediverse!
Redneck engineering
Boring dystopia, lost generation, anti-money memes, class consciousness memes itp.
Surreal memes, void memes, deepfried surreal memes, 5'th world pics itp.

Right now I wish all my game subs would recreate on Lemmy. I used Reddit mostly for entertainment, and getting info on games that I'm currently playing is actually what got me into Reddit for the first time.
Would love to see /r/dota2 move, but the mods there are overwhelmingly against it, and the people are split 50/50. [email protected] is almost exclusively populated by me
HFY. I just love the idea. The genre I guess? I also would love to see the old content archived. There are some treasures in there, I would hate to get lost.
Would love if the geopolitics people of anime_titties could move over, a lot of them were supporting the protests and may have considered making the jump. Right now, the only geopolitics community that I have found has 3 subscribers... Also wouldn't mind at some point to have a meta community aggregator like SubredditDrama, HobbyDrama or BestOfRedditorUpdates. It makes for excellent reading material while on the toilet.
I need specialized communities for specific types of cat pictures. The Internet is a series of tubes and they should be filled with cats like they've always been.
Also game-specific subs. Those two categories were the majority of my Reddit usage.
Damn I miss r/math, also there are r/opendirectories and r/datahoarder
r/badmovies <- home of truly bad cult films (think movies like The Dirtbike Kid, and not just "I just turned 14 and watched Starship Troopers for the first time and don't understand satire or who Paul Verhoeven is," which is what the sub has basically become on reddit over the past 2 years)
r/r9k <- random gay leftist memes
r/animecirclejerk <- Anime is great, but what's even better than anime is hating anime and the people who watch it for being degenerate pedophiles with poor media literacy (which is what most of them are).
r/trees <- weed lol
r/politics <- so that people who are too young to vote can share their political opinions while skimming the headlines and not reading the articles posted.
r/manga <- specifically links to new one shots and updates on when new chapters have posted, with discussions
r/selfhosted <- this one probably already exists in a few different places, I just need to find it.
r/comicbooks <- so people can complain about comic books while never actually reading any of them
r/todayilearned <- so people can spam mundane trivia from wikipedia you already know
r/amitheasshole <- so people who are assholes can try and convince other assholes online that they're not the asshole in their relationship.
r/leopardsatemyface <- for schadenfreude
r/EnoughMuskSpam <- a place for people who hate Elon Musk and other annoying billionaires to gather.
A lot of fandom-specific subs! With the typical main sub/meme sub/nsfw sub trinity, Iβve seen the main subs show up here with minimal activity while the meme and nsfw subs are nowhere to be seen. A lot of the big default subs have come here, but the fandom-based subs just exist as tiny communities with several thousand times less subscribers and nowhere near enough content to regularly show up on my subscribed feed.
More than migrate, I want to see the content build. Much of my browsing was looking through obscure threads (in askreddit for example creepiest things online, scariest this, etc. ) and reading comments.
yessssss
i was always on r/hubposts, which was a sub where every post would be like "Spooky and Paranormal Threads" and then it would have like 50 links categorized into stories from truck drivers, or maybe hospital staff, or just camping stories, home alone stories, and each of those links was an AskReddit thread with TONS of comments.
I could get lost in hubposts truly for hours. I really do miss that sort of back log of content.
Now that you meantion it. I'd like to see r/nosleep
DankChristianMemes used to be pretty banger, I'm not sure if Lemmy attracted much of the religious crowd from Reddit though.
NaturelsFuckingCute.
I need my dose of cuteness every day.
r/Writingprompts, I loved many of the short stories people posted there.
NaturelsFuckingCute.
I need my dose of cuteness every day.
Loved all the circlejerk subs that existed for the communities I liked on reddit, often even moreso than the main sub lol
I'm surprised that I couldn't find a makeup specific community. Not that I would post there but I did try to find one.
As a cross-stitcher - /r/CrossStitch. The only thing I miss from Reddit. I joined a related discord which fills the void but I love seeing people's pieces in my feed, discussing techniques, patterns, etc. I'm new here and I haven't really found a cross stitching community yet.
O hai.
[email protected] needs you!
(Also lots of other crafty communities too, check out my pinned post in there)
Oh my, I'm starstruck! Love your channel π Thanks for your suggestion!
Oh no way! Haha, well, small world π
I've been on here about a month which makes me basically an expert lol so if you're confused about anything give me a shout!
BlackPeopleTwitter had everything. News, laughs, wholesome stuff.
I hope the anime community starts transitioning.
I hope that One Punch Man and One Piece comes over soon
Yes, I'll want to discuss Bleach and Jujutsu Kaisen soon!
i wish more mini painting communities would migrate
The main subs I spent most of my time on: meme subs and the D&D and Magic the Gathering subs, do have equivalents on here, which is nice. But I'm hoping they get more content.
What I'm really missing is how every little thing and fandom had a sub. I recently finished watching the first season of Extraordinary, for example; I wanted to see what theories and impressions other people had, and of course there was a subreddit for it. Not incredibly active, but it existed. I'm hoping Lemmy will get to that point eventually.
I need some more mountain biking based content, itβs my healthiest addiction and I want to keep it fed! There are a few instances but content is lacking at the moment, really no place to post questions either.
I have a server rack running unraid that I may look into spinning up a docker instance if possible so can maybe share in the Lemmy load.
I'd like to see the smaller fan communities for podcasts populate over here. r/blankies is the one I miss most, but we also need a Futurelings community for Omnibus podcast listeners.
Cfb is here but barely. I think since it never locked down on Reddit, there was very little movement to find the community elsewhere. Not to mention there are multiple cfb message boards elsewhere.
Still I'd like r/cfb and Sync recreated for Lemmy by memorial day.
All of them :)
Book of Norman.
The sub mod got it published and everything. The idea was to write a series of short stories involving the same character. This could easily be done here as well. It's one of the only OC subs that I ever saw. Like the Reddit community managed (without any help from Reddit) to put a book together. I still couldn't find a hardcopy to be delivered, but at least it made me a published author theoretically.
I also miss the makemeavideogame sub, which was only active for a a few months. The idea is great, but extremely difficult to do. It was fun though.
Let's create stuff.. not just links.
