I know it's unlikely but ask historians, the moderation required is unreal. More realistic would be bestofredditorupdates for all the mindless drama reading.

r/AskHistorians, r/FrugalFemaleFashion, r/linux_gaming, r/oldhagfashion, r/rabm, r/SkincareAddiction, r/WitchesVsPatriarchy

AmitheAsshole. That place provided so much idle entertainment

A lot of fandom-specific subs! With the typical main sub/meme sub/nsfw sub trinity, I’ve seen the main subs show up here with minimal activity while the meme and nsfw subs are nowhere to be seen. A lot of the big default subs have come here, but the fandom-based subs just exist as tiny communities with several thousand times less subscribers and nowhere near enough content to regularly show up on my subscribed feed.

Would love if the geopolitics people of anime_titties could move over, a lot of them were supporting the protests and may have considered making the jump. Right now, the only geopolitics community that I have found has 3 subscribers... Also wouldn't mind at some point to have a meta community aggregator like SubredditDrama, HobbyDrama or BestOfRedditorUpdates. It makes for excellent reading material while on the toilet.

HFY. I just love the idea. The genre I guess? I also would love to see the old content archived. There are some treasures in there, I would hate to get lost.

IdiotsInCars was always an interesting time

r/Writingprompts, I loved many of the short stories people posted there.

BestofLegalAdvice always had funny commentary on LegalAdvice

Would love to see /r/dota2 move, but the mods there are overwhelmingly against it, and the people are split 50/50. !dota2@lemm.ee is almost exclusively populated by me

I miss r/VXJunkies and r/ThePack… I saw a community over here called VX Junkies but it seems more about hacking.

BlackPeopleTwitter had everything. News, laughs, wholesome stuff.

Loved all the circlejerk subs that existed for the communities I liked on reddit, often even moreso than the main sub lol

All of them :)

• Eurovision, having a community for people who enjoy the contest as much as I do helps a lot. The Eurovision Discord has listed some Lemmy/Kbin communities so that's good.
• Some label- and artist-centric music communities, specifically deadmau5/mau5trap and Above & Beyond/Anjunabeats. Gonna find me a pop community like Popheads as well I think.
• Polandball, gonna miss those the most leaving Reddit. The comics were fun and the balls are cute.

NaturelsFuckingCute.

I need my dose of cuteness every day.

I'd like to see the smaller fan communities for podcasts populate over here. r/blankies is the one I miss most, but we also need a Futurelings community for Omnibus podcast listeners.

Right now I wish all my game subs would recreate on Lemmy. I used Reddit mostly for entertainment, and getting info on games that I'm currently playing is actually what got me into Reddit for the first time.

Redneck engineering

Boring dystopia, lost generation, anti-money memes, class consciousness memes itp.

Surreal memes, void memes, deepfried surreal memes, 5'th world pics itp.

Furry_irl, yiff

2visegrad4u

Redneckengineering, unket, middlyinteresring, odly satisfying, swedish problems,

I'd love to see r/techsupportgore, r/spicypillows, and r/redneckengineering

ShittyFoodPorn, AbandonedPorn, DIWhy, PallasCats, CurlyHair…

I miss:

r/abrathatfits - those folks took it to 11 for helping people find the best fitting bras - no matter your shape, size or orientation.

r/makeupaddiction - as someone who constantly feels like they’re putting on greasepaint and not makeup, the sub was great for helping people get their cosmetics game on

r/skincareaddiction. - a great sub for anyone struggling with skin issues

r/haircarescience - another great sub to help people with all their hair struggles

r/loseit, r/cico, r/1200isplenty, and the more discrete offshoots - great for helping me structure dietary goals.

r/hysterectomy, r/diabetes - because support groups matter (and I didn’t find the Hystersisters very supportive when I first went there, years ago).

r/volumeeating, r/eatcheaply and healthfully - lovely food “hacks”

r/criticalrole (I do hope that we regenerate with Lemmy.world as I believe there is a community of Critters there).

r/aquariums - I used to have an aquarium when I was younger. I always wanted one as an adult, but I have to suffice by living vicariously through other enthusiasts.

r/superbowls - because: owls and because it’s fun to watch the American football enthusiasts get “lost" in January.

There are others (I subscribed to almost 250 subreddits), but I can’t remember them off-hand.

r/linux r/linuxquestions

https://sub.rehab/ has a list of a lot of popular subs that have moved to the Fediverse!

I'll miss the breaking mom / broken mom communities

There's already some pretty established and active communities over here:

/c/Linux /c/archlinux /c/kde

r/selfhosted Seems like they should be on board with moving to something open, but hasn't happened yet

r/badmovies <- home of truly bad cult films (think movies like The Dirtbike Kid, and not just "I just turned 14 and watched Starship Troopers for the first time and don't understand satire or who Paul Verhoeven is," which is what the sub has basically become on reddit over the past 2 years)

r/r9k <- random gay leftist memes

r/animecirclejerk <- Anime is great, but what's even better than anime is hating anime and the people who watch it for being degenerate pedophiles with poor media literacy (which is what most of them are).

r/trees <- weed lol

r/politics <- so that people who are too young to vote can share their political opinions while skimming the headlines and not reading the articles posted.

r/manga <- specifically links to new one shots and updates on when new chapters have posted, with discussions

r/selfhosted <- this one probably already exists in a few different places, I just need to find it.

r/comicbooks <- so people can complain about comic books while never actually reading any of them

r/todayilearned <- so people can spam mundane trivia from wikipedia you already know

r/amitheasshole <- so people who are assholes can try and convince other assholes online that they're not the asshole in their relationship.

r/leopardsatemyface <- for schadenfreude

r/EnoughMuskSpam <- a place for people who hate Elon Musk and other annoying billionaires to gather.

I want to see PoliticalCompassMemes here, but we need user flairs for communities before that can really happen

Wallstreetbets

TBH, none of them. Reddit has has a lot of time to make sure the communities have been culled to the most acceptable to reddit's advertisers. I don't want any of that.
