I personally can’t wait to see communities like r/hiphopheads, r/internetisbeautiful, r/listentothis, r/battlestations… join lemmy and become as active as they are on reddit. what are some of y’all fav?
I’m surprised nobody mentioned my absolute fav /r/askhistorians
r/AskScience too
Ask Science exists! It’s on the lemmy.world instance
Excellent, thank you.
Please PLEASE get this one up and running! That place is a treasure trove of information. So much so, they should have their own website while maintaining a lemmy domain. That info should be disseminated across multiple platforms so it isn’t lost.
The mods seem to not like Lemmy specifically but I don’t know what their plan is. It seems like they’re just gonna be in this restricted mode forever. Makes it easier to leave Reddit though.
Maybe the Ask history mods don’t understand how to use it yet? This platform does take a bit of learning, but every update seems like it increases the end user experience
I just want to see enough folks from some of the gaming communities move over: (Most of these have small communities already, I just want growth!)
2007scape for the memes
Satisfactory for the incredible creativity
Nomanssky for the same reason ^
Forzahorizon for the weekly challenge discussions and screenshots
FFXIV for the community ‘vibe’
Really any game with a fun online community, these are just a few of the ones I enjoy.
🦀🦀🦀
Yeah, Satisfactory for sure and satisfactoryporn for the incredible builds
Normalnudes
IntermittentFasting
NoSleep
Written erotica, any of them.
The general “Music” and “Movie” threads because I did discover stuff on them as well as being able to suggest stuff.
But have been satisfied with some of these that are still small but growing - curlyhair, science fiction, cocktails (mine now), fermentation and sourdough. And overall happy to give up the faster moving subs and be here for the beginning time.
Non-English subs. They are starting but it will take a while to catch up.
I miss women centric subs, especially thes ones with a mix of posts that foster discussion, memes, and support such as witchesvspatriarchy
Best of redditor updates because I want my stories lol
Specific subs for shows because I like reading episode discussions, often someone catches something I missed that gives more context or they catch clues and foreshadowing. Theories too. Or just seeing if anyone else had same thoughts I did! I think it will be a long time before lemmy is big enough to be close to that, and will probably only be newer shows.
Also just the sheer volume of content produced every day. I’ll hold strong though and not give reddit any traffic. Reddit was fantastic as a lurker, posting most anywhere large felt like whispering into a void. Lemmy is great for actually participating, I think it will be a long time yet until it’s as fun for lurking.
Same here - I hope more female-oriented communities get going. WitchesVsPatriarchy, TrollXChromosomes, and all the chaos of the Netflix Cinematic Universe reality shows were a blast on Reddit.
I have found !witchymemes@lemmy.world so far!
Thank you that is a great start! I have quite a few saved memes to start contributing as well. It doesn’t seem quite the same so I hope we have something else soon. I would be a terrible mod and still confused by most of this fediverse thing otherwise I would make what I want to see.
You aren’t the first to mention the women-central communities. I did start !heronebag@wayfarershaven.eu but I’m not sure what else to start and even if I’m the right person to mod it - it would probably need a team. Any ideas or suggestions? What kind of community would you like to visit?
The anime and manga communities are totally silent on Lemmy. Would be great if we can have some weeb juice flowing here as well.
Yeah I really just want those for the discussion threads and news
Slightly related: someone needs to organize a celebrity AMA on Lemmy to let people know that there’s a new sheriff in town (or something like that).
I haven’t seen Photoshopbattles yet in my community perusing. Def one of my faves.
/r/cptsd!cptsd@lemmy.ml
Edit: also
/r/fixit or alike!homeimprovement@lemmy.world/r/FindAReddit
/r/WowThisSubExists!wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca/r/ActLikeYouBelong !!
I miss it too. There is https://lemmy.world/c/cptsd@lemmy.ml
It’s not as active, of course, but that will come with time. The best thing you can do is help build the community.
Aw yes, thankyou! :)
/r/resume was great, as well /r/cscareeradvice, and really any career centric subs. Being able to bounce career questions off of others is an absolute gold mine of information that only serves to forward the field.
I’d hope they come here but get a refresh. /r/cscareeradvice was basically just a circlejerk of you have to grind leetcode and work at faang or you’re useless.
Very true, pretty indicative of the whole industry though. I’m glad I’m already in it, especially in a good position as a software engineer, but after $1k spent in certifications, ~600 resumes sent out, and completely revamping my LinkedIn, etc. It almost feels like you really do have to have worked at FAANG as a senior engineer to even be noticed.
It’s all way too gatekeepy as a whole.
For me, sports communities. Game day threads are a blast.
So much this! Plus being able to discuss a free agent pickup or trade. I need that back.
The other communities i miss were my local state and city.
If there is something you want, create it. Lemmy is new, and there are not a ton of people posting. Someone will need to do it first.
Arts (Printmaking, Graffiti, sculpture, calligraphy, typography, design), and all the SFW porn subs.
Also, I’m really amazed that https://lemmy.world/c/sourdough is already quite active.
they do have some good starters in that sub
r/babyelephantgifs
Also, just to throw this out there for anyone who isn’t aware; some fine folks have made a site where you can search for communities across all instances. Check it out!
