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.

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.

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’m someone that doesn’t have many friends or many people to talk to about life and it’s dilemmas. So when I had any sort of problem I often went to advice type subreddits to talk it out. So yes AITA was one. But also AmIBeingTooSensitive, Relationships, OffMyChest, etc. And I’m a mom so parenting subreddits were a good resource. And also subreddits like LoseIt and PetiteFitness were helpful because I struggle with my weight.

But one thing I noticed before all the drama was that the people on reddit got more and more hateful. Instead of trying to help the poster, they’d tried to find more to the story to make them this evil person. And they’d completely fabricate a separate reality and just tear OP a new one based off of assumptions.

So I was already kinda done with Reddit before the drama with 3rd party apps. I knew that it was causing me more problems than help. I had already started telling myself to stay away. It’s toxic. So I’m happy to have an excuse to get out.

So hopefully an alternative emerges with nicer people. Or maybe I should just go find friends.

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

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.

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

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.

Non Credible Defense

I need my dose of plane fuckery.

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.

There are so many… I used the platform for 8 years and really learned something new whenever I opened the App… I hope a lot of them will find their way over here.

I just want to find a place where I can say “Taiwan is number one” and “Putin is a bitch”.
