I’m going to miss AITA. Even if someone makes it a community, it will take a long time to populate.

Honestly, I think the more reliable curated information will be what I miss the most. I almost always append a Google search with “Reddit” - because the information and format are so much more reliable than the bot populated garbage sites.
Also, niche porn subs. 🫡
I literally add “reddit” to the end of a search all the time…thought I was the only one
I think we all learned to do that eventually. It’s like losing an encyclopedia
Already today I’ve made probably 15 Google searches with the “reddit” suffix only to be met with privated subreddits. It’s a grim feeling, considering my undying support for sticking it to Reddit rn. It kind of feels like passing by the place old restaurant that was always nasty and unhygenic yet had delicious nostalgic food, and remembering that the place eventually closed down and you won’t get that experience anymore.
I think even people who weren’t on reddit knew that that was a useful trick.
I think ChatGPT is going to mean Reddit and similar sites will also become bot populated garbage. There was just now a major problem with this in /r/programming.
It’s likely to happen here too, no?
RE niche porn subs, same here brother 🙌 Seems pretty slim atm on Lemmy but I am sure it will grow. Have seen a couple. Trying to do my part as well and manage one if you are interested in ‘the posterior’:
NSFW in spoiler:
This is me exactly :/
/r/AskHistorians - ruthlessly and efficiently moderated, but every single post a fascinating read. I should msg Zukhov to see if he wants to move ship to /c/AskHistorians.
Really going to miss my local subreddit.
We had a weekly rant thread and it was funny just seeing neighbors talk smack or bitch about silly little things.
I mostly will miss being able to google something and adding “reddit” to my search to search for public opinion on day to day issues and problems.
I’m really worried for those who use third party apps and depend on r/stopdrinking. That community single-handedly helped me get sober.
I fear that someone who is on the brink of breaking sobriety and wants to reach out on r/stopdrinking, not being able to access it from the app they normally use would be just enough of a hurdle for them to give in and start drinking again.
Makes me really sad to think about since it can be a dark place and the people there are so genuinely caring.
all of the weird, super-specific cute pages. illegallysmolcats, illegallysmoldogs, airplaneears, attackeyes, puppybellies, oneorangebraincell, stealthbombers, scrunge, peanutwhiskers, toebeans, whatswrongwithyourcat, crabcats, huskytantrums.
I… may have an addiction.
r/AskHistorians. I don’t think a sub like that can just be remade out of nowhere
r/cancer It was a nice space to find support of other people going through what I’m going through.
Not a subreddit, exactly, but I’m going to miss /u/poem_for_your_sprog and /u/Schnoodle_Doodle_Do. They made browsing so much better - I loved unexpectedly coming across one of their poems.
I’ll miss clicking Top of All Time in all subreddits. In here I have to wait YEARS before I can find the Top of All Time content.
I’m going to miss many of them, I’m a real reddit junkie. But I’m leaving tonight and don’t expect to be back.
Most missed: Witches vs. Patriarchy. Can’t seem to find a lemmy equivalent.
Edit: my first comment!
I was the biggest Reddit junkie, it was a problem. Having to go cold turkey has been strange. But what can you do. I’ll miss Best of Redditor Updates. Even though that sub was undoubtedly filled with many fake stories and stressful comment sections that it’s probably for the best it goes away for a while.
You should consider making one here. :)
/r/history heavily moderated and has actual historical experts answering questions and has a big library of already answered questions.
Subs that I used (and will miss) (Also no NSFW subs here)

If you miss it, help by posting too!
Also no NSFW subs here
Not sure where you work, but AdorablePorn?
Whoopsie, wrong kind of porn. U guess that slipped though with earthporn and such, I got a lot of those too
r/holdmybeer indeed. r/crappydesign too.
:(
r/TalesfromtheFrontDesk, r/TalesFromYourServer, and r/TalesFromRetail. The camaraderie and support among these people, the abuse they endure, and how big their hearts are despite how tough their jobs are… I really enjoyed those. I hope they land somewhere here.
Would add r/TalesFromTechSupport. I don’t work in any of these fields, but still enjoyed reading all the stories there.
