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.
https://lemmy.ml/c/datahoarder
Is the most active one I've seen.
https://kbin.social/m/DataHoarder
https://kbin.social/m/DataHorder
Also exist.
Don't know about any of the others, but I saw Best of Lemmy Updates pop up yesterday.
As others have said, anarchy chess is here already as is chatgpt
I've seen a bunch of those! You should be able to find them via browse.feddit.de/
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.
Me too, though there's no shortage of good info on forums (archery talk forums specifically has a "so you want to get started in archery" guide).
The best advice, though, is to find a local club and ask to go on a beginner course using their equipment ... different regions have different trends, and there's usually a reason!
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.
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
https://lemmy.world/c/kidsbeingderps has a similar idea as r/kidsarefuckingstupid as per the sidebar.
Thereβs also an unexpected on lemmy.ml but itβs dead so maybe someone with a bunch of good videos/gifs can start to populate it or make a new one here.
I'm hoping that Lemmy gets a successor to r/unexpected that doesn't degenerate into a sea of TikTok skit reposts.
I'd love these:
- /c/WoTshow
- /c/nanocurrency
- /c/cryptocurrency
- /c/banano
- /c/cryptomonkeys
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
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.

Reddit's Reddit. There's no reason to worry about what they do or don't have. If you want to make one, go for it!
One for black desert mobile
I'm going to miss the subreddits for skilled trade professionals (plumbing, electrical, etc), especially the ones set up to give folks advice, like r/askaplumber r/mechanicadvice r/askalocksmith and such.
I would love to see some communities like that pop up here.
r/gainit and r/gtaonline (I don't play gta anymore, I just stayed for the big community)
I need to see my "Imaginary" art again. There were so many subs with so much variety.
Aw yeah! I loved those! My favorite was r/imaginarycyberpunk!
As a lonely lemming I'd like to see the r4r communities find a home.
A populated aquarium/fishkeeping community
Contagiouslaughter, Tooktoomuch, Tookjustenough, popculturechat
I found pretty much everything by now. But I'm still missing:
- DebateReligion
- AskScience
And of course some activity in niche communities, but that will come.
-prisonhooch - fermenting things that really shouldnt have been fermented into alcohol. always a good laugh to see some ridiculous ideas.
-canned fish/seafood enthusiasts
-hot sauce and/or spicy condiments
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 Iβm worried that most people are not interested in move as writing subreddits struggle to get off ground.
I would so be game for that, am leaving for a trip, will be back at the end of the month, but after that, I'd love to help set it up.
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.
