YSK: Use this cool tool to find your favorite subreddit on Lemmy!

https://sub.rehab/

This site lists the communities on -shall not be named- that have either migrated or are also located on different sites. It also lists whether it is the official community or a spin off. A very helpful tool for those who have rid of -shall not be named- and have forgotten communities they once followed.

Excuse me, sub-what? ಠ_ಠ

EdibleFriend@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 3y (7 replies)

are we at the 'shall not be named' phase?

We really shouldn't be. The more we say Reddit here the more likely the fediverse shows up in Google instead of reddit right? 😂

gornar@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Good point!

No but vocabulary, understanding things, can be important. Instance and communities are names of the tool.

No wonder why there is debate to block thread or no...

I didn't mean to imply we couldn't say "Reddit," just to remind that Lemmy communities aren't called "subreddits."

I think, in this case, OP was trying to say that the site could help you find Lemmy communities based on the rules and topics of a subreddit, as the site lists Threadiverse communities (Lemmy and Kbin) and servers in messaging apps such as Discord and the Matrix network under the names of subreddits, like !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone under r/196

I meant this. Just thought it was easier vocabulary for those (including myself) who are brand new to the fediverse. In time it will change, but as of now I do still read communities as subreddits. 14 years there and only my 10th day here, but stoked to be here!

slyme@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Ah, I understand, it's hard to get new terms into your system that quickly.

fernfrost@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Just call it 'sub'

sudo@lemmy.fmhy.ml · 3 pts · 3y

They have a name. They are called communities. A user subscribes to communities.

I always thought of it as Sub Rehabitation, like changing where the sub lives, and .rehab would be the closest TLD for it.

I never knew about this, thanks for the YSK!

Lost track of a lot of subs in the process of jumping over here. This helps out a ton is finding those niche subreddits.

artifice@lemmy.world · -20 pts · 3y

subreddit?

Derrio@reddthat.com · 11 pts · 3y

If you know of a community somewhere in the Fediverse that serves a similar purpose or is an official replacement for a subreddit, you can and should post it as a suggestion to help people migrate!

terralem@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 3y

Ah the good tool that mixed up star wars/star trek and privacy/piracy.
Totally not a random list of subreddits and similar communities with no relation between them.

Suppose I go through that list and find something, how do I then subscribe to it? C&p of the link and searching for it in wefwef results in nothing.

And having to search for it all by myself doesn’t justify the name “good tool”.

weirdly_austin@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

You'll have to copy paste and come to Lemmy on your browser app, not on a Lemmy app and search for it under communities.

bestturtleboy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

Can’t get this to work in safari on iPhone

weirdly_austin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Is there a way to view desktop site on safari? (I'm very unfamiliar with iOS)

bestturtleboy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Yes! Just tried that and with content blockers off. It’ll flash the webpage and then goes to the error. So weird. I’ll give this a go on a desktop or laptop.

this reminds me of redditlist and it looks great. fantastic job!! I'll buy you coffee for this

artifice@lemmy.world · -19 pts · 3y (1 reply)

A coffee?

sma3in@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

coffees.

xan1242@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

This combined with wefwef importing Apollo data makes it really easy to find the communities again.

Looks like the sub.rehab project is no longer active.

This repository was archived by the owner on Mar 7, 2025. It is now read-only.

A "spiritual successor" to this project has been created by @rglullis@communick.news over at https://fediverser.network/communities
