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
I have started an antiwork magazine, feel free to join! https://fedia.io/m/antiwork
Probably niche, but /r/skyrimmods. Nexus is a toxic hellhole, but that sub was relatively chill (although had the occasional bit of drama, admittedly).
I want to know what do you guys think of national/local subreddits? I found it pretty interesting to see the different national subs on Reddit like the German one or the swedish one or the french one, I found that my own nation’s sub would sometimes give me information about something before it hit the local news.
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.
https://sopuli.xyz/c/[email protected] theres a fountain pens community
That link didn’t work for me, it says the community couldn’t be found
https://sopuli.xyz/c/[email protected] this should work
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.
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
r/hamsters. r/hermitcrabs. r/locksport.
Just jumping in to say I love the username
