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

    Also wanted to add that a comics equivalent would be nice if there isn’t one already. I doubt many of the longtime artists would migrate fully, but it would at least be another platform that could get them greater reach.

    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.

        The thing is that askhistorians is, uniquely among subreddits, both staffed by professionals in the field and heavily moderated. It is an investment by credentialed, dedicated professionals, and would not work otherwise. I think something like that would be highly attractive, but I caution anyone against trying to resurrect it without access to those credentialed, dedicated professionals. Otherwise it becomes shittyaskhistorians but unironically; at worst it would be ancient aliens.

    Hmmm …

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

      Most instances (servers) don’t allow porn because it needs constant content moderation (laws against CP and other nasty stuff). They simply don’t want the liability. But it’s not forbidden to create a server that allows/hosts pornographic stuff. I bet we will see some porn servers in the near future.

    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.

    Looks like no one’s mentioned it… I’d like a British community. Maybe for discussing news in our corner of the world, maybe just for casual talk like /r/CasualUK.
