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

Would be nice to have historyporn migrate as well
Bestofredditorupdates would be great since they contain all the relevant quotes so you wouldn't need to click back to Reddit.

AmitheAsshole. That place provided so much idle entertainment
Very true. https://lemmit.online/c/AmItheAsshole seems to be a relatively up and coming one?
Side question, what's the nomenclature for referencing communities/instances? c/AmItheAsshole@lemmit.online seems a bit wordy, but the most specific
Edit: actually looks to just be bots posting there for now
Lemmit.online is a bot instance that copies over communities from reddit, all of the posts there are just clones from reddit posts on the corresponding subreddit (without the comments)
!AmItheAsshole@lemmit.online
Prefixing it with an exclamation mark automatically converts it into a link.
Disagree, I hope all those creative writing and "I did the sex" subs stay over there.
Wallstreetbets
Nah
r/Writingprompts, I loved many of the short stories people posted there.
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.
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
You're doin' good work B)
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 loved The Dirt Bike Kid when I was younger lol
It's a gem of a movie. A wonderful train wreck of a film.
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.
HFY is a must have!

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 theyβre 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 didnβt find the Hystersisters very supportive when I first went there, years ago).
r/volumeeating, r/eatcheaply and healthfully - lovely food βhacksβ
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 itβs fun to watch the American football enthusiasts get βlost" in January.
There are others (I subscribed to almost 250 subreddits), but I canβt remember them off-hand.
Loved all the circlejerk subs that existed for the communities I liked on reddit, often even moreso than the main sub lol
- 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.
https://sub.rehab/ has a list of a lot of popular subs that have moved to the Fediverse!

Damn I miss r/math, also there are r/opendirectories and r/datahoarder
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
I'm honored.
DankChristianMemes used to be pretty banger, I'm not sure if Lemmy attracted much of the religious crowd from Reddit though.
I would love all of the "what is this---" subs like /whatisthisbird, /whatisthisplant, /whatisthisbug, /whatisthisthing (sans the absolute soggy napkin mods of whatisthisthing, total buttholes fr)
As a lifelong line goblin, r/Kitchen Confidential. Where else can I complain about Mother's Day brunch, or hear crazy dishwasher stories, or overconfident culinary school kids getting their shit pushed in? With love, of course.
I miss r/VXJunkies and r/ThePack⦠I saw a community over here called VX Junkies but it seems more about hacking.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen Lostgeneration on here
ShittyFoodPorn, AbandonedPorn, DIWhy, PallasCats, CurlyHairβ¦
NaturelsFuckingCute.
I need my dose of cuteness every day.
NaturelsFuckingCute.
I need my dose of cuteness every day.
I miss the /r/talesfromX subreddits. There is a tales from tech support community (I forget which instance) but it doesn't have any content. I also used to browse /r/personalfinance and again, there's a Lemmy community but it isn't nearly as active.
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.
I want to see PoliticalCompassMemes here, but we need user flairs for communities before that can really happen
If it does, I hope it comes over as the original version of the sub when there was a good balance of people from all over the political spectrum and everyone made fun of themselves. These days it feels like a right wing meme sub for the most part where they just make fun of the left, so it kind of lost what made it unique and fun to engage with.
BlackPeopleTwitter had everything. News, laughs, wholesome stuff.
I have already found a lot of the same communities here on Lemmy. I am hoping to find new things that I didn't even know was out there. I would suggest scrolling All and subscribing to things that interest you.
/r/TheSimpsons, /r/LEGO, and/r/Bourbon would be a great start.
Book of Norman.
The sub mod got it published and everything. The idea was to write a series of short stories involving the same character. This could easily be done here as well. It's one of the only OC subs that I ever saw. Like the Reddit community managed (without any help from Reddit) to put a book together. I still couldn't find a hardcopy to be delivered, but at least it made me a published author theoretically.
I also miss the makemeavideogame sub, which was only active for a a few months. The idea is great, but extremely difficult to do. It was fun though.
Let's create stuff.. not just links.
There's already some pretty established and active communities over here:
/c/Linux /c/archlinux /c/kde
I want r/android, r/arduino, r/raspberrypie and r/nba
All of them :)
