For me it’s been communities like /r/buildapc, /r/buildapcforme, /r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, and /r/consoledeals have been useful throughout the years.

    Hmmm …

    Archery Motorcycles Old Photos in Real Life Spanish as a Second Language

    I’m missing a lot of more specialised things, but these are pretty broad I think

    I would love to see something like r/AskHistorians. It’s my favorite sub by far, and something I have really seen anywhere else. It’s heavily moderated (in a good way), and the answers are all high quality and sourced. It’s pretty much why I held on to my reddit account as long as I have.

    “Indie Products”- a place for people to nerd out about stuff made by small independent makers and for indie makers to find support maybe? I’m not a maker myself but I really enjoy buying from small businesses and finding out about cool products.

    I am a Dark Souls addict and when I quit Reddit for good on July 1st, those are the subs I’ll really miss most. I’m also a history teacher and adjunct and really will suffer without /r/AskHistorians.

      Oh, r/askhistorians is precious.

      Maybe a History community on here would be nice, at least, until there are enough folks for more specific spots.

    For me, the real magic of Reddit was in hyperspecific niche communities full of hobbyist experts – or even professionals. Places like r/tolkienfans.

    I’ll miss somewhere to complain about dating. In the past it’s been /r/OkCupid and more recently /r/Tinder

    I want equivalents for:

    • r/Fantasy
    • r/tipofmytongue (iirc that name - the one for helping people find shit they’ve forgotten)
    • maybe r/52books (it produces too many simple posts to just go in r/books, not sure if the same would be true here)
    • r/vegetarian

    Edit: r/fantasy is the biggest one for me. In effect the subreddit is really more for SciFi and Fantasy, both - and other speculative fiction - and they have a yearly speculative fiction bingo card that’s really fun to participate in. It’s mostly books in practice but is not exclusively about books.

    There was a time when /r/youtubehaiku was one of my most visited subs. It would be great to see more short weird videos that give you a little chuckle.

    I’d really like to see a photography community pop up. Not necessarily a /fujifilm /leica community, but a general photography place for folks to share their snaps, and get advice about techniques and gear.
