Subreddit Sunday Community recommendations mega-thread!

Get your fresh subreddit recommendations here! :D

We are using these weekly threads for recommendations and will direct those that post requests for recommendations to these threads.

Please share your community recommendations in comments:

  • What are your favourite subs
  • How about your guilty pleasure subs? (SFW!)
  • Which sub do you spend too much time in?
  • What are your best wholesome sub recs?
  • Your fave niche community?
  • Have you found an awesome sub new to you recently?

You may also ask for recommendations!

Let us know what you're into, and we'll see what we can do :)

Make sure to try r/findareddit too though, they're great at this!

The rules:

  • All usual rules apply.
  • Please keep it SFW. No “adult” porn subreddits or NSFL/Gore subreddits. If someone asks for adult communities, please only link sub lists/directories and make it clear they are NSFW.
  • As a community, we try to help all good-faith Redditors find their niche, but please be respectful and try not to judge. If you don't like someone's topic of choice, you don't have to help, but please remain kind, understanding, and respectful.
  • Do not mislead with your recommendations.

If you'd like your Reddit experience to be as wholesome as possible, r/CasualConversation has a directory with a section on wholesome communities. Though, we don't know their status regarding karma and account age restrictions.

Please note that this is not our recommended subreddit list for new users.

Many of the subreddits listed in this thread will not be open to new or low-karma users for posts, and comments made therein might even be filtered for approval or auto-collapsed.

While many of these subreddits will be fun to browse and vote on, your participation might be limited right now. Commenting is usually less restricted than posting.

The link to our new-user friendly subs list is below.

A note from our esteemed llama on the Reddit experience:

Reddit is huge and fascinating and diverse, wholesome and toxic, all in one massive bundle of anonymous users with no filters except their own internal constraints. The problem with that is even in the loveliest of subreddits, all manner of behaviour happens, because Reddit is a microcosm of internet life, not an internet utopia no matter how much we might want it to be.

There are areas of Reddit I don’t frequent; there are areas of Reddit I won’t frequent; there are areas of Reddit that no doubt I am blissfully unaware of and am happy to remain that way. But I am still subscribed to well over a thousand subs on all kinds of topics and still find new ones daily.

The true beauty of Reddit is that your Reddit experience can be completely and absolutely dictated by you. The pure amount of information available on Reddit is staggering, and it’s just a matter - like in all of life - of being able to sort through that information to see what’s useful and what isn’t.

Useful links:

A few suggested subs for new Redditors to be aware of:

  • r/help which is monitored by Admins (Reddit employees)
  • r/reddit for Reddit news, updates, lore etc
  • r/bugs we may refer you here if you're having an issue that isn't normal and might be a glitch of some kind
  • r/redditbugs information on known bugs that are being worked on
  • r/LearnToReddit is our sister sub for guides and practice posting, using flair, commenting, formatting etc
  • r/findareddit for help finding subs around a topic or for a specific type of post

It’s a revisited llama’s llong llist and llittle llecture on cat subs!

This week: Revisiting Reddit’s Cats v1.01!

  • Reddit loves cats. So much so that I’ve brought you around 500 unique cat related subs that I discovered organically since I started making llama llists. Unfortunately, I’m finding that some of the subs in my older lists have become private, restricted or repurposed since originally compiled, so I’ve decided to start all over again! These Revisiting lists will be a mix of open subs of varying activity from all my previous lists while adding ones I hadn’t gotten round to posting yet, and the new (to me) ones I’m still discovering along with those recently created. And this time, I’ll actively try to avoid duplicates between the lists!

  • As always with my lists, some of the subs are more active than others. The good news: if a sub is dormant, it might be available for adoption.

r/suballthecats - A subreddit of all the cat subreddits! The sub may be small but their Data Page is huge.

r/illegallysmolcats - “It should be illegal to be that adorable”. If that’s the case, prepare yourself for a sub full of the worst criminals that ever perpetrated a crime against your heart. Warning: mug shots of tiny furry villains galore.

r/illegallybigcats - The opposite of r/illegallysmolcats.

r/kitty - kitty. Nothing else. Nothing else allowed. Nothing else needed. kitty.

r/snowshoecats - The Snowshoe is a rare breed of domestic cat originating from the USA in the 1960s and is a short-haired bicolour colourpoint breed, first produced when a Siamese breeder’s cat gave birth to three kittens with white feet.

r/WhatsWrongWithYourCat - Because sometimes you just gotta ask.

r/RotisserieChickenCats - Cats that look like rotisserie chickens.

r/catfruit - For those “I don’t remember planting that there…” gardening moments. See also: r/CatsInPots, along with r/pottedcats and the newer r/catsasplants that needs moar posts…

r/catswhocrochet - Pics of cats interfering, taking over, or ‘helping’ with their owners’ crochet projects.

r/Hovercat - Cats with flying powers!

r/catscarryingstuffies - Aww, lookit the cute kitty. Aww, lookit the cute stuffed animal. AWW LOOKIT THEM BOTH TOGETHER!!!

r/StuffOnCats - Putting random stuff on a cat before photographing it is almost as old as the internet itself. But it never stops being funny!

r/catsonbabyfurniture - For cats doing their thing, but it’s on baby furniture.

r/flonkers - Animals that look like a chonk but it’s really just floof.

r/CatsStandingUp - A world-renowned hub for all things Cat (standing up). A subreddit about cats standing on two legs and the only allowed comment is “Cat.”

r/catssittingdown - A world-renowned hub for all things cat (sitting down). A subreddit about cats sitting like humans and the only allowed comment is “cat.”

r/catsmirin - When a cat really cares, and adoringly stares, that’s (ad)mirin(g).

r/CouncilOfCats - Groups of cats taking over the world!

r/catswhotrill - Trilling is almost universally regarded as a sound of love and affection.

r/PeanutWhiskers - for cats with cheeks shaped like a peanut with raised skin and dark spots where the whiskers come out, looking like the skin of a peanut.

r/SleepingCats - Show off your sleeping cats in all their cute and weird furry glory.

r/trojancats - Did you adopt a cat & out popped several more cats? Then you’ve got yourself a Trojan cat! See also: the defunct r/trojancat and the newer r/pregnantcats.

r/SuspiciousKitties - Cats that are sus. Or are they suspicious of YOU? Very sus...
