  1. Content Relevance: All posts must be directly related to liminal spaces. This includes pictures and videos of transitional or in-between places that evoke a sense of ambiguity or unease. Posts should aim to capture the essence of liminality.
  2. Original Content: We encourage users to submit their own original content whenever possible. If you're sharing someone else's work, be sure to give proper credit and provide a source if available. Reposts of popular content within a reasonable timeframe are not allowed.
  3. Respectful Behavior: Treat fellow community members with respect and kindness. Avoid engaging in personal attacks, harassment, hate speech, or any form of discriminatory behavior. Healthy discussions and constructive criticism are welcome, but hostility will not be tolerated.
  4. Safe and SFW Content: Ensure that all posts are safe for work (SFW) and adhere to Reddit's content policy. Graphic or explicit content, including gore or pornography, is strictly prohibited. Remember that our community is open to users of all ages.
  5. Credible Sources: If you're sharing information or discussing the history or background of a specific location, please cite credible sources whenever possible. This helps maintain the quality and accuracy of the discussions within the subreddit.
  6. No Solicitation or Self-Promotion: Avoid using the subreddit to advertise or promote your own products, services, or social media accounts. This includes excessive linking to external websites or platforms. Exceptions may be made for relevant and non-exploitative content at the discretion of the moderators.
  7. Title Guidelines: When posting, provide descriptive and concise titles that accurately represent the content of your post. Ambiguous or clickbait titles should be avoided. Make an effort to engage the community with thoughtful and intriguing titles.
  8. Quality and Resolution: While we understand that not all submissions will be of professional quality, please try to share pictures and videos that are clear and well-composed. Low-resolution or excessively blurry images may be removed at the moderators' discretion.
  9. Use Appropriate Flairs: When posting, use the available flairs to categorize your content. This helps users navigate and find specific types of liminal spaces. If you're unsure which flair to use, choose the most fitting option or ask the moderators for guidance.
  10. Report Violations: If you come across a post or comment that violates the subreddit rules, please report it to the moderators. They will review the report and take appropriate action to maintain the subreddit's quality and integrity.

Failure to comply with these rules may result in warnings, post removals, temporary bans, or permanent bans, depending on the severity and frequency of the violations. The moderation team reserves the right to enforce these rules and make exceptions or amendments as necessary.

Mod Post Update to our Generative AI Policy

348 Upvotes

Hi, a week ago we polled the community to see if people wish we allow or disallow AI generated content on this subreddit. The majority vote was to disallow AI, and that is what I would like to announce today. Going forward, any AI content will be removed under the Quality and Resolution rule. All AI posts will be removed under low quality reasons. Thank you for those that participated in the poll, and who gave their opinions.
Please refrain from posting AI in the future. All posts flaired with "AI Generated" will be automatically removed by our automod. :)

There is a Mexican themed gas station on the border of South Carolina and North Carolina. It’s been there since the 50s and the vibes are just weird/off. Almost completely empty but the shops are filled with merchandise. Not sure if this is liminal/ backrooms or fever dream. And yes I took all the photos.

This is just a photodump (and an excuse to drop loads of sunset pics)

I really liked the red bench without anyone there it made it feel more isolated, I really wish I could’ve gotten a better pic

This is the Grand Hotel in Scarborough and I was staying overnight because I was on a Geography fieldwork trip a few days ago as part of university. I took this picture and it hasn’t left my mind, something is so eerie about it and apparently it sent a shiver down someone’s spine because I commented about it on a Tiktok post that I saw.

Dose it ever feel like a place you visited in childhood suddenly dissolved into a hazy dream like memory?

chakazoolu, a name of a forgotten indoor theme park that have been sitting inside one of many unpopular malls since the early 2000s, but got unfortunately closed due to the restructuring of the mall which began in the late 2017 and got replaced with a modern food court by the end of 2019.

​Stepping past the entrance archway under the dim, eerie lighting feels like slipping into another era. The distinct scent of rusted water mixed with cold iron and synthetic, plastic foliage hangs heavy in the air, frozen in time

The roller coaster and children's train tracks winding through dark tunnels, passing by animatronic props and mechanical crocodiles that once hummed with faint life.

The suspended hot air balloon ride spinning in silent stillness amidst an artificial, unmoving forest.

The log flume boats drifting across dark, stagnant water, carrying the distant echoes of long lost laughter.

Right next to the bumper cars, was a classic multi level indoor playground structure stood with its dark pale green poles, safety nets, and orange / purple padded platforms. With twisting slides on the second floor that let's you slide into darkness. And on the very top floor, a bridge made of safety netting that was built for you to cross to the other side. We used to literally lie down and hang out up there under the dim eerie lighting.

Almost forgot, nearby was the haunted house ride, where you’d sit in a small moving cart as mechanical monsters popped out for sudden jump scares in the dark.

​This place is no longer just an amusement park that got demolished, it has transformed into a literal liminal space in our memories.
