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?

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.

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?

LGBTQ+ support spaces. Lemmy has some, but not enough.

[–] greenfish@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] JCSpark@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

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.

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

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?).

[–] Landrin201@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

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.

Missing lots of groups.

Region/language specific: German, Hamburg

Topics: Climate, Gamedesign, ChatGPT, DebateReligion, DebateMeatEaters, AskScience

Someone posted https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/t/4331/The-growing-list-of-subreddits-going-to-be-dark-but which seems to suggest at least some of these already exist. But when I try to find/subscribe, I get "No results". I'm trying to find new communities here, is this the right way? https://lemmy.click/search/q/search/type/Communities/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1

Created !dataengineering Inviting all the data engineers at Lemmy to join the community

[–] Moonguide@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

nahh. my favourite subs are the braindead shitposting ones so

Nope, not yet, unfortunately. The majority of them either hasn't migrated here yet, or has a low amount of subscribers. Hopefully, more of them starts migrating here soon.

The ones I frequently browse that I doubt will migrate here are probably r/characterai, r/choiceofgames, and r/hostedgames.

I haven't seen r/gamedeals and r/livestreamfail here yet, but their amount of subscribers is pretty high compared to the other subreddit I've listed, so I think they'll probably migrate here soon.

But at least the country I live in has made a community here already. The amount of subscribers is still pretty low, but some people in there have been making a few posts and comments recently, so hopefully it gets more active soon.

Reddit refugee here - just created !modelmakers@lemmy.ml, one subreddit I will miss after leaving Reddit

[–] DevCat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Waiting for the Farming and Gardening subs to move over along with prepping.

[–] Roman@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Coffee and espresso are both dead here it brings me great sadness.

[–] roizor@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Yes, actually. r/programmerhumor and r/anarchychess although on different instances are just like they were over at reddit.

Haven't seen anything CSGO or CSGO2 related yet. :(

[–] svamp@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm going to miss the mycology sub, haven't had any luck in finding something similar yet.

[–] PhantomPhanatic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

!mycology@mander.xyz

It's one of the biggest communities on Mander.

[–] Moonviola@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I can’t find any of my outdoor communities such as r/campingandhiking, r/backpacking, r/hikingcanada, r/wildernessbackpacking, r/nationalpark

[–] Phrax@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Game-specific subreddits (i.e., LegendsofRuneterra, PathofChampions, CustomLoR, MagicArena, leagueoflegends, starcraft, Factorio, LastEpoch, ftlgame). Warframe@dormi.zone looks good.

Franchise-specific subreddits like Batman. !star_wars@lemmy.world looks good.

Entertainment (i.e., Showerthoughts, oddlysatisfying, interestingasfuck, DesignDesign, EngineeringPorn, OldSchoolCool).

Niche art (i.e., PixelArt, RetroFuturism, cassettefuturism, TheNightFeeling).

I expect the first two categories (where I commented most) to be the slowest to move here.

[–] GilloutineBreast@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I too wish the game specific subs migrated. Like
Forza subs

  • r/forza
  • r/ForzaHorizon
  • r/ForzaOpenTunes

GI subs

  • r/Genshin_Impact
  • r/Genshin_Lore
  • r/GenshinImpactTips

Destiny subs

  • r/destiny's
  • r/DestinyFashion
  • r/DestinyLore
  • r/DestinyMemes
  • r/DestinyTheGame

DRG sub

  • r/DeepRockGalactic

Also miss the anime subs. /c/anime looks like it could grow into r/anime. But others like

  • r/absolutelynotanimeirl
  • r/animeirl
  • r/anime_irl
  • r/Animewallpaper

don't have lemmy equivalents at the moment.

[–] BrewJajaja@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I scanned quickly through the comments here so I may have missed any mentions, if there were any... But my suggestion is: there should be a master/stickied list of equivalent subreddits. So in the future, people can just google [subreddit name] + lemmy (or kbin or beehaw etc etc).

Preferably the same exact subreddit name. Or are those subreddit names owned by Reddit? Can they come after us?

Take a look at https://browse.feddit.de/

There's a auto-updating list showing even the popularity level - helps a ton finding them!

Current communities are popping up like crazy today and the previous couple days, so it's a bit to keep track of.

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There's a community called New Communities which might be useful for this:

https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities

EDIT, actually Darkfoe's comment has a much more useful link!

[–] Andreas@feddit.dk 1 points 1 year ago

The art sharing subreddits like Imaginary Network, /r/awwnime, /r/patchuu, /r/moescape and similar. I want to start an instance that automatically crossposts from those subreddits to the Fediverse, and users here can also contribute with artwork that fits the community's theme. It'll probably fetch the posts through RSS to avoid the API limits, but who knows if Reddit might shut that down too. So I'll have to wait until this API situation stabilizes.

[–] nonagonOrc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] GilloutineBreast@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Mostly communities for specific games. Like Destiny, Forza, Deep Rock Galactic, and that taboo anime game. I also miss the fanart communities. Hopefully these will grow here too over time, but who knows.

I've started https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/gamedev (!gamedev@lemmy.blahaj.zone) and it had a much larger influx of members already than I expected. Very nice :)

[–] minorsecond@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] giantshortfacedbear@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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'.

[–] minorsecond@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] giantshortfacedbear@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's so cool. I might spin up a test community to have a play with that.

[–] minorsecond@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea I'm considering using it for the two communities I've created. But I'm afraid people won't like it.
