I, being someone who works with computers, have had some luck with most of my favorite subs being here already.
Despite that, some of my hobby ones still aren’t here. NFL exists, but it’s the same as nothing so far. Soccer I couldn’t find at first, maybe today it already does? Also, no sign of fantasy football.
I also followed a bunch of History subs, but looks like most people in Lemmy only care about science and technology.
Tell us, what is missing for you?
Welcome everyone! Just as a PSA, here’s a cross instance community explorer: https://browse.feddit.de/
This is phenomenal, thank you for sharing!
I’m trying to be the change I want to see in the world https://lemmy.ml/c/hydrohomies
Not really. It’s incredibly frustrating and I’ve def lost some faith in humanity.
I thought /r/selfhosted would be ready to jump but everyone is like “but there’s no users on lemmy” and “you’ll split the community” and “we’re going to go dark for two days - that will teach them!”
Consequently there’s been no support for any single refuge.
Additionally people have set up several communities here with similar names in the past but now mods aren’t responding so it’s all a bit of a mess.
I wish there was something like AskHistorians but I highly doubt I’ll ever find something that good without a solid moderation team and very strict rules. Feels like it will either be Reddit (and fuck that to be honest) or nothing.
I still can go through rabbit holes on Wikipedia at least so there’s that.
LGBTQ+ support spaces. Lemmy has some, but not enough.
NFL exists, but it’s the same as nothing so far
Be the change!
I created mine at /c/guitars , I’m not sure if the reddit community at large will join though. I’m hesitant to push it anywhere, it feels like sleazy self promotion. I just wanna talk about my hobbies with other hobbyists, and leave all the corporate greed back at reddit.
[email protected]? neat!
yep, that’s the one :)
awesome!
Subscribed! Please, push it and be sleazy. I know I’ve seen others asking about a fretted community. Are you ok with banjos, bass, uke, etc visiting?
We welcome fretboards of all shapes and sizes
Excellent! Thank you!
You can’t change comm names right? Cus I propose fretbros as a name.
Lol nice, no I don’t think you can change community names, but I chose what I did to directly mirror the subreddit it was modeled from.
I just hope Lemmy becomes huge so niche things will start popping up, I miss specifc band and game subs like r/KGATLW and r/factorio for example. Though I have also found the searching of communities across instances to be somewhat unreliable. I’m also hoping for some good meme communities to flourish.
nahh. my favourite subs are the braindead shitposting ones so
Hi all! I’m a Reddit refugee. This is my first comment here. I think I’m gonna lurk for a while and figure out how this works
Try stuff out. Once it clicks, it’s beautiful. Took me a moment, but now I’m mostly flying.
For r/soccer there’s [email protected] although I’m hoping [email protected] takes off instead.
It doesn’t look like there’s enough sports related content so something like [email protected] might have more engagement.
I’m missing witchesagainstthe patriarchy, mommit, and quilting. Everything else is here and I’m going to get more familiar this weekend and maybe start some groups
I’d love to see WitchesAgainstThePatriarchy again! Looks like communities on Lemmy.ca are fairly easy to create. I’ll play around with it for a bit and see what it’s like.
That was always one of my favorites in my reddit feed. I hope atheist some sliver migrates.
Commenting as that was one of my favourite subreddits and would love to join a similar community on Lemmy!
[email protected] is a thing now!
Thank you!! Subscribed!
Still looking for a r/writingprompts replacement
Even if only to read
Edit:Looks like it already exists
!aiparadise.moe/c/writing
There’s also Beehaw’s new writing community which just opened, [email protected]
Not specific to writing prompts, but there’s at least one prompt that’s been posted, and there’s discussion about creating a regular writing prompts thread as well.
I hate to say it but shitposts and circlejerks are a bit part of my reddit browsing to lighten the mood.
Otherwise, trash like terriblefacebookmemes and idiotsincars was great entertainment for some reason…
I don’t know why I am like this.
Edit: to extend on this, seeing a post about some crazy shit play out and then reading everyone react to it is so much fun.
