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. 🫡

    /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.

      For sure. My small city sub was hilarious. Always people asking “anyone know why there’s a helicopter flying over our city?!”

      Why not just start it here in Lemmy? I did for my City and a few people have already started to trickle in without any sort of advertising. The memes have already started to flow!

      I was just trying to think of what I’d miss the most when I saw this. Yep, hands down it’ll be my local sub. We’re one of the smaller cities in my country which meant the sub reflected the quirks and experience of day to day life quite accurately.

      Same. It was also very nice to know when stuff happened, like events or ask if anyone had heard anything about x. Some used it to ask question to know if they wanted to move here or not too which also gave me some insight in other parts of the city

    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.

      This is probably one of the biggest losses. Reddit was my go-to for finding actual answers to questions I had. Without it, you end up with nothing but sponsored articles that don’t really answer the question.

        That’s an easy problem to solve. When I was 10 and went on a family holiday trip to Advertisistan, I first came into contact with the awesome concept that is Buythiscrap. It is a very sophisticated process, but my parents, who were born in a time where lead was still a perfectly fine additive to gasoline, taught me well during the stay.

        Before I remembered the the concept of Buythiscrap, I had the same problems as you, but when looking through the holiday pictures from Scammyphotobooks, which has a really amazing software to work with, the concept came back to me.

        There are 3 different solutions to solve your problem, but each of them is easy to shop and has its own shipping costs.

        1st solution: Use the first add on Google

        If you apply Buythiscrap correctly, you should reward the company that paid Google the most to be on top of the search. Better yet, buy some products you don’t even need with the low quality garbage they want to sell you.

        2nd solution: Use the second add on Google As an alternative, you can also click on sponsored content nr. 2, as they also paid a great deal to be up there. And we from Buythiscrap really appreciate when companies pay for their products to be shoved down your throat.

        3rd solution Scroll down to the Garbagefilledwithpops blog post, where for every three lines, there is an auto play video of unrelated topics and product, and every half a page of scrolling, you are presented with a aesthetically pleasing pop up add that includes a riddle to close it. Remember to sign up for their newsletter, as they will kindly distribute your personal information to companies that take good care of your data and send you relevant product offers.

        If you are not convinced of Buythiscrap by now, try to check out these amazing alternatives:

        • Moneyforbillionaires

        • Organfarm

        Before this entire fiasco, I didn’t even realise googling “____ Reddit” was such a global phenomenon. But I also didn’t realise just how much I relied on these surprisingly specific answers to just about everything until now that it’s gone. Damn… I’ll miss it.

          I’m with you. It’s going to suck losing out on so much random information. Reddit was my go to for those obscure questions I had but we survived before Reddit and will find a way to survive without it.

    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.

    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’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!

    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.
