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

KitchenConfidential for sure, that was my go to sub for having a laugh.

And getting slight PTSD

Weird niche ones like r/SpecEvoJerking. Speculative evolution is already super niche and that's a parody sub about it.

I'm really going to miss /r/writingprompts, I've written a lot of stuff for them over the years. Sadly I don't see a replacement popping up here yet and their mods also didn't bother with the blackout protest.

The vinyl releases sub. It's how I built my collection.

the smaller gimmick subs, like hydrohomies the_pack. and those 2 specifically had such a positive community which is such a great breath away from the dumpster fire that is reddit

Some of the industry specific ones like supply chain or logistics or even insurance were fun to lurk, and get a sense of what people in the industry think of those outside it

/r/notinteresting

I know. That’s not interesting…

A whole bunch of the ones around tabletop games. Mini painting, terrainbuilding, some of the game-specific subreddits that always have loads of userafe content.

If anyone has spotted these communities here in federation space please let me know; I didn't find any so far.

Going to miss the steamdeck sub. Was a good one full of interesting tips and skins for the deck

/woodworking folks posting about the stuffy the build out of wood.

Cyberdeck & cassettefuturism

Jeopardy for daily show breakdowns

Local sports teams

A few gaming ones, but I suspect they're here somewhere too

Most of my favorites have a discord, but that just doesn't feel the same. Very hard to wade through all that chatter

Forwards from grandma. HI JENICE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. YOUR AUNT HAD VASECTOMY LAST WEEK AND PASSED AWAY IN HER SLEEP. L.O.L. XXX

Emulation-related subreddits, for one.

Going to miss the ask reddit and all the outdoor subs what's this animal ,snake ,spider, and some have subs as well ___

I'm definitely going to miss the true crime/unresolved mystery/paranormal subreddits. I loved the CreepyAskReddit curation.

After just getting started learning to do my own car maintenance, definitely the subreddit dedicated to my model of car

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.

r/greebles for sure! I got into their Discord though!

r/perfectlycutscreams and r/nosleep

Where my r/futurama_sleepers at

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

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.

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

I'm going to miss all the ones that I subscribed to! Hopefully things pick up here and those communities will rebuild themselves here to some extent.

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

r/cfb. That sub is so fun during the college football season, even in the off-season it's an entertaining place. It will be sorely missed.
