Personally I'm just going to miss the oddly specific meme subreddits like r/breadstapledtotrees and r/suspiciousquotes

My list

Funsies & Weird brainstorming

• /r/competitiveoverwatch aka /r/cow (I don't play the game but I sure enjoy the juice)
• /r/hobbydrama (very diverse type of juicy dramas, miam!)
• /r/overwatchTMZ (/r/cow but extended)
• /r/valorantcompetitive (same reasoning for the OW one)
• /r/livestreamfail (don't post there; but is fun to occasionally lurk and see funny stuffs and be up to date with the latest online juicers)
• /r/anarchychess
• /r/singularity
• /r/BestofRedditorUpdates
• and 20 more cute animal pictures/videos subreddits like /r/partyparrots, /r/happycowgifs, etc.

Stuffs I use for er..... productivity! yeah yeah productivity, that's right!

• /r/obsidianmd I enjoy seeing other people's workflow and new tools being developed
• /r/chatgpt (Recently the main sub went to shit with the influx of new users so /r/chatgptcoding or /r/chatgptpro might be better lol)

Subreddits that I often get led by Google search engine and it would be sad if they were to go down perpetually since I would have a very hard time without them...

• /r/homelab
• /r/automation
• /r/selfhosted
• /r/datahoarder
• /r/android
• /r/sysadmin
• /r/kitchenconfidential
• /r/appliancerepair/

I'm also very interested in how some different jobs work so I subbed out to these to check on them occasionally... and they sometimes would provide interesting workflows/insights that I can a-hem, take inspiration from...

• /r/ExperiencedDevs/
• /r/accounting
• /r/uxdesign

There's way more but I visit those a bit less, the problem is, I'm not sure if Lemmy can fill the void in my heart but if it does for those main ones (all above) then I think that I can permanently migrate from Reddit.

I'd like to see something similar to r/bigbangedmemes or r/blackholedmemes, these subs are about editing heavily a meme screenshot/image at the point to turn it into an un-understandable trippy image, at a point where it's almost a form of art. They are still public on reddit right now so I don't know if it's a good idea to create an alternative here already.

Very niche, but I would love to see a (bullet) journaling community on here. it was one of my favourite places to go on reddit. Also miss the fantasy community, but as I understand it, there are a lot of new communities in beta related to favourite authors and such.

I'd like to find a good archery community. I think I want to pick it up as a hobby, but don't know where to start.

What I'm missing the most:

• AmateurRoomPorn, FemaleLivingSpace, MaleLivingSpace and similars. Plenty of ideas on how to decorate my home, suggestions,..

• OneOrangeBraincell, Flonkers, MurderMittens, ToeFeathers, PouchCatatoes and other 'niche' cat subreddits. I can survive with the already existing IllegallySmolCats and Cats, I guess.

• GifRecipes, ShittyGifRecipes, ShittyFoodPorn. Ones for learning new stuff to cook, others.. for learning what NOT to cook thankyouverymuch.

• HistoryMemes

• Tattoos

• Submechanophobia

r/gainit and r/gtaonline (I don't play gta anymore, I just stayed for the big community)

Personally I don't care at all, but I've got a few friends hoping for a good gun group similar to liberalgunowners.

I would like a video group like r/unexpected and r/kidsarefuckingstupid for funny vids to share with my wife at bedtime.

Right now I feel like a new interesting and active community is appearing every hour or two so I'm not in a rush, I'm enjoying watching the whole lemmiverse taking its first big steps

I need to see my "Imaginary" art again. There were so many subs with so much variety.

Here are the subreddits I would miss the most:

• Am I the Asshole
• LegalAdvice
• Parenting / Daddit
• thingsmykidsaid
• whatisthisthing

...and all of the local/regional subreddits for cities / metro areas around the world.

I still need to dig around and see what all is here, but Nosleep was my fave sub and I'm really going to miss some of my fave writers I found on there.

Also, some of the funny cat subs, state/city/specific location subs and things to do in those areas, antiwork, eh...my list isn't too long.

r/hockey

I miss fantasy writers and magic building. I would even be willing to moderate them. But I lack any skills to contribute to them. Not to mention I’m worried that most people are not interested in move as writing subreddits struggle to get off ground.

Definitely all the question-answer subreddits, like AskScience, AskScienceFiction (though for the love of god please call it AskFiction this time), NoStupidQuestions, TooAfraidToAsk, ChangeMyView (with the Delta bot), AskMeAnything.

AskReddit equivalent already exists: AskKbin@kbin.social.

A big one I'll miss is the Diablo subreddit. It was filled with contentious assholes, but the content was typically good.
