What subreddits would you like to see replicated on the Fediverse?

Just a working list - feel free to add to it. I realize that some of these might already exist, and I just missed them. Here's what I've got so far:

  • Book suggestions
  • Obscure Media
  • New England
  • Massachusetts
  • separate communities for every other state too
  • Mildly interesting
  • Antiwork
  • Anti-Amazon
  • buy it for life

hooray my first federated platform comment, spent over a decade on Reddit and happy something else looks to be growing big enough to be a viable alternative.

I tend to love long form text based subs. Ones I particularly enjoy where I can't currently scratch their respective itch anywhere else on the Internet:

/r/changemyview /r/bestofredditorupdates /r/legaladvice (mainly for the (/r/bestoflegaladvice goodies) /r/bestof /r/maliciouscompliance /r/prorevenge /r/amitheasshole and all of the /r/talesfrom[profession] subs

yeah I know half of these are often glorified fiction writing subs but I enjoy the stories regardless

At first I read "would not like to see replicated" and I almost got upset, haha.

For me:

  • Fountain pens
  • Communities for different countries/regions or different language-speakers - on Reddit, I often lurked /r/de, /r/Philippines, etc.
  • Mechanical keyboards
  • Woodworking
  • Oddly satisfying
  • Star Trek
  • Battlestations

I definitely second BIFL, Antiwork, and different communities for U.S. states, as I don't often get to connect with other people from Texas on the Fediverse.

Yes to the language-learning one! I really need to have a space to support my goal of learning German. I'm already really missing that resource that I had on Reddit.

r/france was really fun to hang around for language learning reasons! I loved their sense of humour. Their thread about whether the subreddit should blackout (i.e. strike) over what was going on was absolutely hilarious. It went something like:

Mods: Hey r/france we're wondering whether we should strike on... Redditors: Yes.

  • UX research (there is an empty 2yo uxdesign sub..)
  • Artisan videos
  • Is it bullshit
  • UK personal finance
  • /r/menslib, specifically because the mod had really thoughtful takes
  • OCPD (a bit different from OCD subs)

I'd love to see some art stuff; some of my favorite subreddits were:

  • minipainting
  • sewing
  • we are the music makers
  • sketching
  • art timelapse
  • amateur room porn

Subs I enjoyed having on my home:

  • sewing
  • jumprope
  • icecreamery

I've not tried searching out replacements yet, so don't know if there are any.

Probably niche, but /r/skyrimmods. Nexus is a toxic hellhole, but that sub was relatively chill (although had the occasional bit of drama, admittedly).

There is a SkyrimMods community on Lemmy.world.
