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

    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.

    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
