sports subs probably... and r/anime... ah and r/idiotsincars

EDIT: r/manga too....

My local city subreddit, r/stlouis. The fediverse channels for it are dead but hopefully that will change. Also r/personalfinance

/r/satisfactorygame, cause its a great game, and its subreddit was a great source for knowledge and ideas. Also, /r/hardware, for the same reasons.

r/BestofRedditorUpdates I fall asleep reading posts, it's bad (edit, thankfully someone made one here /c/bestupdates)

r/PersonOfInterest because it's my favorite tv show, I'm really due for a rewatch when I think about it

I'm subscribed to a lot of band/artist subreddits, so I'm going to miss them

A lot of the smaller communities, and political ones.

And I'll miss the history, like, we have subreddits going years back. Subreddits full of stories and whatnot.

Hopefully it kinda mulls over in a few days, I dont really see it resulting in anything too permanent. Though I'm often wrong.

Will miss the AFL (Australian Football League) r/AFL

Is there a way of finding popular communities across the federated lemmyverse? And on a smaller scale can I find popular communities on my instance?

Edit: leaving for posterity, but! there’s a “local” and an “all” in the communities browser: https://lemmy.world/communities/listing_type/All/page/1

r/imaginarysliceoflife

Daddit needs to be reborn here. It was/is a good place.

I'm going to miss all of my smaller history/archaeology related subreddits.

I miss the Apple related subreddits, that community hasn’t really seemed to move over yet.

/r/feedthebeast, I love modded minecraft!

r/notjustbikes. The man himself no longer wants to use reddit without third-party clients or moderate the community without access to the API, so the community is basically gone forever unless reddit decides to revert the change, which won't happen. It was the best urbanist sub and nothing can quite replace it.

r/perfectlycutscreams and r/nosleep

Where my r/futurama_sleepers at

r/houseplants and r/food. I loved browsing aimlessly through all the pictures and seeing pets in the background.

Nosleep and other horror/terror/creepy things subs and some specific videogames subs

I'm going to miss r/datasets, r/selfhosted and other subreddits that allowed me to tap into accessible niche knowledge. I'm sure there are subs I had not yet discovered, but a lot of the information they collected over the years may be gone. I hope those communities will find their way to Lemmy and rebuild.

FWIW, selfhosted does have a sort of "best of" list on GitHub at: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

r/knots

Reminds me that r/changemyview also really requires a large pool of participants to have value... Damn, I really liked that subreddit. I feel like it made me a better person.
