What are some kbin or Lemmy alternatives to common Reddit subs?
I’ll certainly miss r/unexpected, r/guitarlearning, r/damnthatsinteresting, r/historymemes and many more
Hopefully this can turn into a useful thread for everyone looking to replace Reddit with a close enough experience, and maybe even a better one once it gains traction
Here are some I have found:
- m/TodayILearned
- m/showerthoughts
- m/mechanicalkeyboards
- Memes@lemmy.ml
- Gaming@beehaw.org
- Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml
- Rust Programming@lemmy.ml
- Technology@beehaw.org

Up top, if you hit “Magazines” it gives you a list of magazines on Kbin, sorted by subscriber count. You can find recreations of common Reddit communities here. There’s also a search function to look for a particular magazine. These are the ones you mentioned:
@unexpected (mobile link) - doesn’t appear to have a Kbin equivalent yet. Note that because federation is currently off it’s not showing all the posts
@guitar (mobile link) - not learnguitar, but close
@damnthatsinteresting (mobile link)
@historymemes (mobile link) - another one without a Kbin equivalent ATM
As for other suggestions, I’m a bit biased. I moderated /r/Disneyland on Reddit, and I’ve recreated it here on Kbin alongside some of the original mod team: @Disneyland (mobile link). I didn’t moderate /r/modeltrains… but I saw there wasn’t any model train communities on here, so I decided to create @modeltrains (mobile link).
As far as things I don’t moderate, here’s a bunch of cool communities I’ve found here on Kbin. Note that Kbin magazines are case-sensitive (something I’d wish they’d change):

If you see something in here you like but there’s no content in it - content comes from users like you!
Be the change you wish to see. Contribute something - anything - to get the community going. If everyone pitches in soon enough communities will start thriving.
Idk where to ask this, so asking here, what is the next step after the two day blackout? Will subreddits stay dark if reddit refuses to make any changes?
A list of subreddits remaining dark indefinitely is being made.
There’s a few hundred of them, including big ones like /r/aww and /r/videos. There’s also popular ones like /r/perfectlycutscremes, /r/lotrmemes, /r/murderedbywords, /r/Nintendo, /r/Hearthstone, etc. There will be a full list soon.
Many other subs are watching to see what the majority opinion is before making a move.
One subreddit has been taken out of the protest, /r/AdviceAnimals. The head mod got removed by Reddit admins and the remaining mods re-opened the sub, deleting all the protest posts. It’s unclear what prompted this, and whether it was something Reddit admins did at the request of the other mods or not.
Reddit changed their policy yesterday with this post.
It’s old fashioned union busting tactics. Try to foment internal discord and break the strike. Until yesterday, the head mod was king and could do whatever they wanted. Administrators have upheld this standard for literally 15 years. Interesting how radically it changed yesterday.
can confirm. been a mod on reddit for a long time and it was always very clear that head mod decided how things went, and there was a hierarchy of mods. now it seems they just decided to throw that out the window?
