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
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 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.
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 liked to browse /r/cd_collectors and /r/fragrance
I liked seeing /r/witchesVSpatriarchy on /r/All, but I never really followed them.
Edit: spelling.
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).

Edit: also
/r/fixit or alike[email protected]/r/FindAReddit
/r/WowThisSubExists[email protected]/r/ActLikeYouBelong !!
I miss it too. There is https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
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! :)
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!
r/tekken is sorely missed. Same applies for r/starcraft. I guess there is a com for StarCraft, but it seems quite dead.
Lemmy needs more comics
humor
Some of the jokes were nice - with the best laughs coming from the replies and the bad puns.
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.
The music production ones r/ableton r/audioengineering r/mixingandmastering r/maschine
There’s 2 smaller instances specifically for musicians. I would keep an eye on their communities.
lemmy.studio
waveform.social
Both have an Ableton /c, but not much content yet
yes add to the list: r/musicmaking, r/headphones, r/audiophiles, r/indieheads, r/WeAreTheMusicMakers, r/drumkits, r/bandcamp, r/vintageobsecura and I’ll be the happiest kid lurking around here
I simultaneously want a headphones comm because I love headphones, and don’t want a headphones comm because I need to stop fucking buying headphones.
It’s one of the biggest subs on Reddit, but having trouble taking off here.
Same thing for every single-game community. Dota’s deserted. Also things like patientgamers is lowering in activity.
Most game communities sucked anyway. They just got filled with useless self highlight clips and not actual content.
The women’s communities. Everything from trollx to girlgamers to tallgirls
I also miss femdomcommunity because it’s one of the few sensible kink communities on the internet
This! Lemmy feels like such a sausage party right now.
Yeah like I can appreciate that it’s nowhere near as misogynistic as old Reddit was, but also I just want more women here
Excuse me, I identify as a hotdog
