I'm really going to miss anime_titties; for anyone that doesn't know, it was a wildly inappropriately named serious subreddit focused on interesting, relevant, unbiased world news that actually affected people.

Going to miss the shitty takes and off-season content
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.
First time posting here, and still figuring it out. Excited about the new possibilities. I was a redditor for ever a decade. Throughout the years I've had several favorite subs, and some I simply followed because of the quality moderation and content like with r/AskHistorians. What I'm going to miss the most, however, is the reddit lore and history. The good, funny, bad, and even ugly. From the Swamps of Dagobah, to the rise and fall of u/Unidan.
It's been a good ride with reddit, but I'm excited to be part of a new start and new culture.
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. :/
r/AskHistorians - mostly because of the unprecedented quality of moderation r/MaleFashionAdvice - helped me appreciate fashion and nice clothes
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
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
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.
Definitely whatisthisthing. There was a truly specialized group of finders there who're unlikely to make the move.
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/noncredibledefense 100%. they've reliably proved to be the most reliable right source about the war in ukraine. also extremely funny.
Smaller specific subs like the city close to me. I see that Midwest instance is pretty big which is cool
My local country subreddit. There was some country spesific humour there that are hard to find elsewhere.
Shitposting/humour subreddits for niche topics, like r/languagelearningjerk, r/vexillologycirclejerk and r/worldjerking
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.
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.
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.
Console and individual game ones mostly, also my local subreddit (japanlife). I'm sure I'll learn to live without them eventually, but I'm just so used to that structure that it's going to be hard at first...
The thing I will miss the most though is how RiF allows me to instantly jump to a subreddit just by typing a part of its name, no need to subscribe or anything. This is how I've been browsing for years, so having everything combined together is hard to get used to. I'll manage in time, hopefully.
All my hobby subreddits (origami, bouldering, cubers). Not nearly as big as a lot of other subs but they're great
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!
all the kink subreddits. not the ones that were just fap material cuz you can find that anywhere, but it was great seeing people talk earnestly about what makes kinks click for them and what it is they love about them
Wherever we live, subs for our local communities will be missed.
Idiotsincars... but there are just *so many *idiots out there so I'm sure I'll find a replacement for it.
/r/nobuy, they are a very supportive community.
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!
/r/gamedeals, /r/buildapcsales
Those are the ones I found really useful for keeping up with deals and benefits from a large community. There's sites like pcpartpicker and isthereanydeals, but it helped getting "curated" deals instead of having to spend any time looking through everything myself.
