What are some reddit communities you wish to see live and more active on lemmy?
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 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.
Health-related communities, particularly those for specific medical conditions. Those are the communities that really become a lifeline for people, help them through diagnoses or just difficult times, and can serve as an excellent resource. I was active on r/diabetes_t1 on Reddit and am trying to get a community started here on Lenny.world (!T1diabetes).
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!
I wish there there were more parenting comms. You have a few low activity general parenting comms and a surprising amount of healthy dad comms (go dads!), but you don't have the break outs. I guess I'll shill my instance where I'm hoping more parents will pop up to
Yes, I absolutely loved listentothis. I think it was sort of losing user interaction towards the end but it was so great to comb through previous years to find great music.
We should definitely get another one up and running!
I'll really miss the location specific subreddits, those were super useful when travelling to find stuff only local redditors knew about. It helped get you off the beaten path.
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.
r/writtingprompts by far my favorite community of all time and I hope it makes a resurgence
Other ones would be r/the10thdentist, r/nottheonion and r/askhistorians (they probably will never join since they have their own website to fall back own if it all goest to shit)
Lastly r/manga, I said this one as separate because I have seen a few but the community is not there yet, especially lacking features like what are you reading this month and at MOST having 15 subscribers
/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 fail to comprehend why there's no community dedicated to "Rock" music. This network, after all, was named after one of the most iconic rock stars of our era...
WickedEdge already exists on this platform, but it's not active and doesn't have the same community. These niche communities will not be the same as those on Reddit since many of the people are normies and don't care at all about Reddit's shitty platform. I would open some communities on my own, but I'm not an expert in these fields, like for example in shaving, and I couldn't be of any help for other people.
I don't mean to be a Debbie downer but even I have trouble enjoying Lemmy because of some of it's problems/quirks. I don't think it'll be anywhere near as popular as alternatives with those problems present. I hate it but that's how I feel. I hope it gets better
r/hardcore, r/bodybuilding, and r/steroids are the ones I'm missing the most. Instagram is my only source for hardcore punk now. I second r/hiphopheads too! I wish I had the time to moderate so I could start them myself.
I like to live vicariously and lurk in city subreddits. (Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver, etc...if it's a city, I will lurk). It's a little lonely over here in that regard.
r/personalfinance was a great one to read about financial situations and see advice given for each. Doesn't seem like c/personalfinance has had any posts for days.
I feel like ‘fan’ communities like Star Wars and Halo have a better chance at being positive communities with constructive discussion on lemmy because the community here seems like they want to genuinely care about discussion. Those types communities got to a pretty awful state on Reddit because the loudest ‘critic’ would always receive the most upvotes, despite usually having overly nitpicky and poorly thought out criticism.
Some of the smaller subs I used to frequent don't see as much traffic as I would like. Like cycling and edc. I just have to be the change I want to see. I will I swear, just need to fine some spare time.
r/fountain pens and the sheer volume of cat subs will be missed the most from me. Hopefully lemmy will grow to the point where troubleshooting help becomes as easy as it was on Reddit because, as many have said before me, google sucks nowadays.
Kustom - I had just started messing about with KLWP and building my own background when all this kicked off. There is a Discord but the sub was easier to search and see solutions and formulas.
A lot of the broader interest subs I followed have either migrated over or have local equilvalents.
I had a couple niche ones I miss. I work in hospitality so talesfromthefrontdesk is definitely one I miss, and I haven't seen a good version here as of yet.
Specific game subs are not as popular here yet, but honestly I am not sure how much I really need that. Rimworld is probably the only game I keep coming back to often enough to justify it, and I largely use discord for that. Only thing I use discord for really.
There is a LosAngeles community on here, but I'm really hoping there is a daily thread. /r/LosAngeles has a daily thread that, at its height, would have several hundred comments a day. It was a huge source of respite during the pandemic for myself and many others
