OP, please don't go making empty ghost communities based on the feedback here. That would be worse than no community at all. Communities should be created by topic enthusiasts.
I really miss r/askhistorians
oh i feel this so hard. i hope the mods are collating their best answers and saving the info to somehow bring over here.
You should send the mods a mail to see if they have any Lemmy plans. It's worth it just to know. Sometimes they don't have a plan but they do know of a good alt community for you to try out
I believe you can just create your own Magazine (sub) if there isn't currently one out there! Start that bad boy up!
Lots of individual game subs
Yeah, sadly I don't think we're at the size required to make a vibrant community for all but the biggest games. I miss the Oxygen Not Included sub most.
Yes, I haven't found a final fantasy XIV community here and I always have questions I search on Google that link back to reddit.
Lemmy currently lacks the userbase for niche, specific communities, or subregional communities
Yep. It's never an issue to fill a message board with memes and cats, the hard part is filling the niche communities. I hope it gets there.
Fingers crossed that they come eventually.
Sync for reddit will soon be linking to Sync for lemmy
There are enough communities, there just aren't enough posts and comments.
Most posts on the communities I see are just links with one or two comments.
r/HumansBeingBros is what I miss a lot... or am I missing something...
I'll say it for everyone (and myself), NSFW communities. Reddit is still effectively king for that, at least for now.
There is a fair few out there, one main issue is that you can't even get a list of nsfw communities without being logged in on the instances they're created in.
IIRC the only instance that patches that check out and is remotely discoverable because of it is lemmynsfw. Whatever communities other instances have are basically hidden to all but the select few who know about them / have an account there and goes to look them up.
I may be in the minority here, but I don't miss the sexual NSFW content from reddit at all. I was getting tired of seeing OF accounts posting semi-flirtatious things in completely unrelated subs in order to garner attention.
I feell like that the problem is just discovery
I agree, the communities are going started but there’s no way to organically find them
I used lemmyverse.net to find communities from the subs list I had on reddit, but I'll just have to remember to keep searching after some time has passed since my I won't have my reddit account for reference
Programming Languages and Compilers. To be clear: The former exists on programming.dev, but there's a serious lack of activity.
I miss some dedicated meme subreddits:
They were always good for a laugh.
Oh! And highqualitygifs.
Lemmy drama, I want to gossip about other communities and read people fighting for stupid shit.
personally i'm missing all the horror content. there's a nosleep replacement here that's gaining traction but stuff like /r/wtf, /r/oddlyterrifying, /r/creepywikipedia etc are sorely missed right now
what was r/creepywikipedia? it's private right now
Sounds interesting
Lovecraft and Cthulhu Mythos
Creepypasta
SCP
Web Novels
Light Novels translation
Anime and Manga
i also you like a comics community.
Something I think is genuinely useful about Reddit that I don't know if Lemmy has replicated yet is the whole genre of "The entire world is here, someone will recognize what you're talking about" subs. What is this thing, what is this bug, tip of my tongue, tip of my joystick, ask historians, ask mechanics...I'm not sure we've established that brain trust here.
Intellectually, I think lemmy already has a good grasp on topics...but I do miss the daily video content of r/crazyfuckingvideos, r/publicfreakout, and r/idiotsincars.
I'm into conspiracies and occultism, while Reddit wasn't perfect in that regard, I would enjoy either one having a bigger presence
Dog stuff. I haven't found any dog communities and I weirdly miss reading about dog grooming.
r/frogs and r/orphancrushingmachine
r/orphancrushingmachine
I... What? Do I want to know?
It's a a send-up of the supposedly "feel-good" stories about people that go above and beyond to make the horrors of some societal problem (usually capitalism) less horrifying for somebody. Like, when a child holds a 48 hr lemonade sale marathon to erase the lunch debt of his/her peers. Yeah, it's a nice thing to do, but it should NOT be necessary.
The idea is that we would see stories talking about how great this person is for slowing down an orphan crushing machine, without questioning the need for an orphan crushing machine in the first place.
It still is terrible but a different kind of terrible compared to what I was expecting. Thanks!
I'm not sure but, a community for posting scientific articles and discuss about it.
come July 1st, i think you'll find a lot of people making that final push to come over here, try to figure out what the fediverse is, and moderate (or create from whole cloth) the communities they used to have. i certainly don't have the time nor expertise to moderate any community, but i know lots of folks will come over here. July is gonna be huge.
now fix the bot problem and we're gonna be ok.
One that I miss is "r/sex" for discussions and support about sex.
r/Sex is a good one, however 90% of questions could be answered by "talk to your partner". I'll agree that it is a positive community for general discussion about sex though.
I’m still looking for a true crime / unresolved mysteries community.
Someone did make goblincore, but it’s still mostly empty and I’m not talented enough to contribute lol
I loved looking through all the mossy green nature pics, tiny ecoscapes, mushrooms, frogs, and forest-witch style craftsmanship from people much more creative than myself
Math communities for homework/excercises help.
A loosely moderated place to ask open-ended questions
If your post meets the following criteria, it's welcome here!
