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. 🫡

/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.

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 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.

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.

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.

I’ll miss clicking Top of All Time in all subreddits. In here I have to wait YEARS before I can find the Top of All Time content.

r/cancer It was a nice space to find support of other people going through what I’m going through.

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.

/r/history heavily moderated and has actual historical experts answering questions and has a big library of already answered questions.

r/AskHistorians. I don’t think a sub like that can just be remade out of nowhere

I’m going to miss many of them, I’m a real reddit junkie. But I’m leaving tonight and don’t expect to be back.

Most missed: Witches vs. Patriarchy. Can’t seem to find a lemmy equivalent.

Edit: my first comment!

r/talesfromtechsupport

Subs that I used (and will miss) (Also no NSFW subs here)

While there were a billion ones I’ve used as entertainment before bed or during bathroom breaks… I believe what I’ll miss the most is the ability to search “problem I’m having + Reddit” and get very precise results with (usually) great solutions.
