Asklemmy

AmitheAsshole. That place provided so much idle entertainment

r/AskHistorians, r/FrugalFemaleFashion, r/linux_gaming, r/oldhagfashion, r/rabm, r/SkincareAddiction, r/WitchesVsPatriarchy

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!

Damn I miss r/math, also there are r/opendirectories and r/datahoarder

A lot of fandom-specific subs! With the typical main sub/meme sub/nsfw sub trinity, I’ve 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.

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

2visegrad4u

IdiotsInCars was always an interesting time

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.

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

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.

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.

DankChristianMemes used to be pretty banger, I'm not sure if Lemmy attracted much of the religious crowd from Reddit though.

r/Writingprompts, I loved many of the short stories people posted there.

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.

NaturelsFuckingCute.

I need my dose of cuteness every day.

Loved all the circlejerk subs that existed for the communities I liked on reddit, often even moreso than the main sub lol

All of them :)

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.

Right now I wish all my game subs would recreate on Lemmy. I used Reddit mostly for entertainment, and getting info on games that I'm currently playing is actually what got me into Reddit for the first time.

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.

BlackPeopleTwitter had everything. News, laughs, wholesome stuff.

I have already found a lot of the same communities here on Lemmy. I am hoping to find new things that I didn't even know was out there. I would suggest scrolling All and subscribing to things that interest you.

I miss r/VXJunkies and r/ThePack… I saw a community over here called VX Junkies but it seems more about hacking.

The community I use most and the only one I still visit reddit for is r/hockey. There are a couple of hockey communities here, but they aren't active enough for them to even show up in my home page.

Unfortunately they were very vocally against a blackout, and they seemed to think all the complaints against reddit were stupid/overblown. So I doubt the users will move here.

/r/PartyParrot. Will miss those dorky birds

I'm hoping to be able to keep up with the football (soccer) highlights and news. I really enjoy the short clips of the goals, and specific events that happened during the games.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen Lostgeneration on here

Wallstreetbets

r/selfhosted Seems like they should be on board with moving to something open, but hasn't happened yet

• 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.
