Welcome everyone! Just as a PSA, here's a cross instance community explorer: https://browse.feddit.de/
Most of my intrests are there and have some activity. Mainly the computerstuff and all. But others exist but aren't active. Take for example kpop, japanese music, horses, the elder scrolls. I wouldn't mind a community for western style RPGs as those are nearly the only games I play, with a few exeptions. General gaming ones seem too general for me, too little I care about.
I am trying to post here, but also don't want to spam a community with only my posts and make it looks like some kind of echo chamber. Feels like a delicate balance on the (nearly) inactive ones.
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.
Haven't seen anything CSGO or CSGO2 related yet. :(
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.
Yes, actually. r/programmerhumor and r/anarchychess although on different instances are just like they were over at reddit.
Yes but there's only 7 subscribers and I'm the only post :(
Then again it's a niche community about a fantasy series, I'm not surprised it doesn't have much going on yet.
c/WheelofTime
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.
Still looking for alternatives for r/mechanicalkeyboards and r/spacex
I'm missing r/Succulents, r/elite Dangerous, r/bisexual and r/watercooling. And r/MTB too. I hope some or all of those come over. Not having r/Succulents is distressing because they are a font of good information on rare plants.
For r/soccer there’s !soccer@lemmy.ml although I’m hoping !football@lemmy.ml takes off instead.
It doesn’t look like there’s enough sports related content so something like !sports@beehaw.org might have more engagement.
+1 for football over soccer
Ideally, futebol >
futebol is lyfeeeeeee
I'm hoping for some specific craft communities, but for now it makes sense to huddle together in !creative@beehaw.org. We do love to show off pics of all our projects though so I expect it won't be too long before it makes sense to start splitting that up.
I'm still waiting for an SBC Gaming/handheld community and more fashion communities.
I would start them myself but ive been super busy recently :(
Yeah, I was quite disappointed to see that most, if not all, subreddits I follow had already shut down on Reddit. I mean, there's r/learnjapanese, r/fitness, r/iwanttolearn, r/piracy, r/nootropics... I could go on and on. I'm actually considering creating a Lemmy community in place of r/chineselanguage, since I see nothing of the sort has been created yet here. However I'm quite hesitant, since I don't really have the time nor interest in moderating a community, so... maybe I'll just wait for someone else to create it instead?
One has, but there are no posts yet I've created another, created a post and am waiting to see if others move over. I plan on giving up modship ASAP because I'm not built for that. Yet another has and there's a bit of activity.
I've wondered how hard it would be to write a bot that, for each new link-post in a particular sub in Reddit, it creates a corresponding link-post in a matching community in Lemmy. Intrinsically I feel like it would be easy, and might make the switch for users from there to here easier as it is already seeded with 'the content'.
I really want a csharp (C#) one. I know there is one but no one has posted there yet. XD And more game/Indie dev.
And something equivalent to the aww subreddit (does anyone know one?).
No but not a lot of people have multiple sclerosis so I undersand.
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.
Not really. My most visited subs on reddit (fuck spez) were Rimworld, Zomboid, Hunt Showdown and various hobby/profession subs (graphic design, illustration, itap, photography). I'm fairly confident a UX/UI sub will pop up sooner rather than later considering how techie Lemmy's userbase seems to be. Iirc there is a gaming related comm on beehaw, but the odds those three games will be talked about is rather slim.
Edit: also, Swoleacceptance. Recently got back to the gym due to mental health. Was a gym rat years ago but life got in the way.
Upvoted for the “fuck spez”
I thought it did, but it is currently bit reposts, I guess that makes sense though.
Reddit refugee here - just created !modelmakers@lemmy.ml, one subreddit I will miss after leaving Reddit
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.
I didn't think about how sad it will be to lose askhistorians 😞
LGBTQ+ support spaces. Lemmy has some, but not enough.
nahh. my favourite subs are the braindead shitposting ones so
Not really, and I have low hopes of that happening, tbh.
Most communities are very low-tech, so users might have a hard time adapting to the environment.
Like for example the default search for communities should be All due to the confusion of search results only popping up with internal instance communities. I worked it out noticing no @ but most newbies will get confused and see jangled messes of community and instance addresses.
Yep, I agree. Joined through an instance run by a friend, so we might be able to tweak it locally, but unless we suggest it as a feature in git and merge it into the main built, I don't see that coming as a default setting.
A loosely moderated place to ask open-ended questions
