On the old site, there were a number of funny video communities with regular posts, for example /r/Unexpected, /r/PublicFreakout, or /r/WhatCouldGoWrong. While there are plenty of memes on Lemmy, we have relatively little video content. Those of you who used to frequent video subs, what have you replaced them with since coming to Lemmy?

A good number of those subreddits became breeding grounds for not-so-subtle racist dogwhistling, so I don't really miss them.

A lot of the others sort of ran through the actually good, viable content before expanding to being less good (/r/YoutubeHaiku basically dropping the 'unscripted' requirement and becoming essentially, short-form skits and streamer clips). I tend to follow people with content I like directly on TikTok and Youtube these days. Aggregators of content tend to go either generic or toxic, I find.

r/Public Freakout banned a ton of racist users who then got together and made r/ActualPublicFreakouts which was basically Nazi shit.
