Well but also I miss like r/gme_meltdown too. And the sportsball stuff but I know most don’t care about that around here
Comment on I’m new to Lemmy
Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoThe only thing I miss about reddit are the large, academic subject specific subs, that tightly moderate their subs to make sure that as many of the posts/answers are from accredited people, or that the post seems to check out when they look the subject up. r/askhistorians for example.

Unfortunately I stopped going to reddit for sports info before I left. I just kept running into increasingly toxic people, over what is such a low stakes subject. It wasn’t just reddit, I also gave up on televised sports because watching sports feels like I am watching ads that are occasionally broken up by bumps of sports. Even friends who are WAY more into sports have pretty much given up on watching them. Also, the way that sports is handled across streaming platforms I find enraging.

Yeah it’s weird that the smartest communities are too dumb to leave reddit
