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. 🫡
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’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.
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.
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/weirdwheels I love odd cars.
/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.
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 just want to find a place where I can say “Taiwan is number one” and “Putin is a bitch”.
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.
Definitely r/BestOfRedditorUpdates
I miss r/quilting and r/sewing. As a crafter, the knowledge I gain from these type of subs is invaluable
r/AskHistorians. I don’t think a sub like that can just be remade out of nowhere
Local communities. I do not know why, but having people share the same social conditions makes them a warm place, even for gaming communities
I’ll miss all my niche gaming subreddits. Path of exile, incremental games, and I even liked keeping an eye on the gacha gaming subreddit. So many more to mention like r/gamedeals, patientgamers, many more individual game subreddits.
