The only thing I miss from reddit is my favorite small niche subs.

Invisible bicycles.

Where people take photos of people on bicycles and Photoshop out the bicycle. You can request or do the edits.

Forbiddensnacks

Photos of stuff that looks like delicious food but is not food.

There was another with short videos of animals in sync. Like chickens or dogs .

Oh and another that was photos of cats, sitting on clear glass. The photos were from the underside.

There was another photoshop battle one. Where there was a prompt and then everyone would submit a photoshopped mash of the prompt.

But I bet AI has ruined that one.

What is this. People posted pictures of stuff that the community tried to figure out what it was

Retro futurism. Just posts about that.

I think I miss forbidden snacks the most.

Im also someone with a million hobbies. So I really miss those. Some are here too. Bigger ones like 3d printing and photography but not stained glass. Not sure if there is one for Blender. I should check.

Subs for specific games like remedy games, zelda. Animal crossing.

Honestly I'm from the time where there used to be forums for these things and I liked forums just fine.

I get that smaller population means less niche communities.

I'm okay with it. But I will be honest and say I miss my niche indie subs. I hate that it's been ruined. And that it's dead.

Facebook groups still exist though and many are acceptable. Especially for the indie games and hobbies.

I miss r/fitness. It was big enough but good enough to learn a lot and get motivation.

I miss the TV episode discussions. Even if I wasn't following live, I could go read the thread and feel the shared excitement and read the theories and there was always something I hadn't noticed that someone else had.

I miss those the most.

The good news is that if the fediverse gets an influx of Redditors, maybe we'll see some of those niches pop up here too. Reddit's impending identity theft coupled with the insane enforcement of rule 1 they've been doing lately is what got me to make my account here.
