I’m going to miss AITA. Even if someone makes it a community, it will take a long time to populate.

    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.

    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. 🫡

    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.

    I… may have an addiction.

    /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.

    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.

    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.

    I miss r/quilting and r/sewing. As a crafter, the knowledge I gain from these type of subs is invaluable

    All of the TV series subs and the discussions. It’s great after watching an episode to join the discussion with others.

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

    R/fountainpens. Other forums exist, but they aren’t (a) as easy to use (b) as welcoming to newbies, yet © still full of experts.

    I’m guessing lots of hobby subs are like that.
