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.
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/AmItheAsshole@lemmit.online 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)
Yeah, it's just reposts so the OPs never see any comments here. I learned this when I blocked the bot out of irritation from reposts, and the entire community disappeared lmao
I know it's unlikely but ask historians, the moderation required is unreal. More realistic would be bestofredditorupdates for all the mindless drama reading.

https://sub.rehab/ has a list of a lot of popular subs that have moved to the Fediverse!
Solid tip, thanks mate!
You're welcome! π€
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.
I loved The Dirt Bike Kid when I was younger lol
It's a gem of a movie. A wonderful train wreck of a film.
BestofLegalAdvice always had funny commentary on LegalAdvice
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.
Furry_irl, yiff

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.
Yeah...hoping something comes out to archive all(?) of reddit and still be easily searchable/linkable if needed.
HFY is a must have!
Would love to see /r/dota2 move, but the mods there are overwhelmingly against it, and the people are split 50/50. !dota2@lemm.ee is almost exclusively populated by me
You're doin' good work B)
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.
https://lemmy.world/c/anime_titties has just under a thousand subscribers
r/Writingprompts, I loved many of the short stories people posted there.
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.
NaturelsFuckingCute.
I need my dose of cuteness every day.
DankChristianMemes used to be pretty banger, I'm not sure if Lemmy attracted much of the religious crowd from Reddit though.
Damn I miss r/math, also there are r/opendirectories and r/datahoarder
Loved all the circlejerk subs that existed for the communities I liked on reddit, often even moreso than the main sub lol
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.
I miss r/VXJunkies and r/ThePack⦠I saw a community over here called VX Junkies but it seems more about hacking.
- Eurovision, having a community for people who enjoy the contest as much as I do helps a lot. The Eurovision Discord has listed some Lemmy/Kbin communities so that's good.
- Some label- and artist-centric music communities, specifically deadmau5/mau5trap and Above & Beyond/Anjunabeats. Gonna find me a pop community like Popheads as well I think.
- Polandball, gonna miss those the most leaving Reddit. The comics were fun and the balls are cute.
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.
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.
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.
BlackPeopleTwitter had everything. News, laughs, wholesome stuff.
Wallstreetbets
Nah
There's already some pretty established and active communities over here:
/c/Linux /c/archlinux /c/kde
Vinyl Releases and Vinyl Deals. My wallet wants both of them to stay behind though.
PrequelMemes would be a big one for me. I know it's one of the bigger ones but it still felt like a solid community.
