Asklemmy

Welcome everyone! Just as a PSA, here's a cross instance community explorer: https://browse.feddit.de/

I'm trying to be the change I want to see in the world https://lemmy.ml/c/hydrohomies

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

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

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.

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.

They’re heeeeeeeere…

I’m really pleased by how many are starting anew on Lemmy. I giggled like a little kid when I saw HydroHomies was already up.

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.

For anyone interested, an incomplete list of Lemmy communities and /kbin magazines being equivalent to subreddits going to be dark

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

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

It feels like the mods on the subreddits don't want to switch because that woul mean they might risk not being moderators anymore. Sad to see. Every sub should migrate. The only major thing that makes reddit unique is the awards and customizable avatars which no person over the age of 12 should care about.

Still looking for a r/writingprompts replacement

Even if only to read

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

Tell us, what is missing for you?

Niche anime communities. So far, it's just Bocchi the Rock that has a separate community from the Anime community in lemmy.ml. I need my Re:Zero, KonoSuba, Kaguya-Sama, Classroom of the Elite, Call of the Night etc. I hope with more people coming in, it would been the flourishing of an entire anime ecosystem here in Reddit (probably one instance for anime solely?)

There’s no gone wild yet! Although that might a bit of a sausage fest if created rn

sadly I haven't found r/genshin_impact anywhere yet

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

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.

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.

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.

I'd like to have a logo edit / sbubby sub.

Also, some niche ones that aren't there yet (AFAIK):

buildapc : PC building help

SavageGarden / carnivorousplants: subs aimed towards tending bug-eating plants

hardwaregore / firmwaregore / softwaregore / technope : subs based around faulty hardware and firmware, sometimes destroyed hardware, or badly designed software

cablefail : pictures of bad cable management and the chaos of cabling in general

itsaunixsystem : sub based on overly fake or wrong tech in the media

PBSOD : faulty kiosks and such displaying error messages in the open

spicypillows / spicybricks : sub based on the pictures of swollen batteries of any kind, with the "bricks" being UPS batteries

dankpods / battrees : Australian youtuber who yells at several portable music gadgets and headphones, the battrees one being pictures of off-brand batteriesc, mostly PKCell batteries, but can also be several others as well.

techsupportmacgyver : instances of crazy fixes that ended up working

termux : sub for the Termux project

ITRage (likely a replacement for iiiiiiitttttttttttt) : information technology-related rage posts

headphones : not sure if there's a sub there for headphones and IEM related stuff so I guess there could be one.

justrolledintotheshop : automotive repair shop employee's findings when working on vehicles

Another, much more niche music, streaming and TV-related:

kpop : for Korean music news and updates, discussion (with objective viewpoint)

kdrama : news and updates about Korean drama series, reviews, discussion

kdramarecommends : recommendations for Korean drama series

trigger (or maybe studiotrigger) : discussion and updates on anime made by Studio Trigger

webtoons : webtoon series discussion

animemusic : sharing music featured in anime series

This all I could get from the top of my head currently.

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.

r/diwhy was always one of my favorites :,) also miss r/Phoenix and r/Tempe for getting to find things to do near me. Maybe once that last wave off reddit hits some more Arizonans will catch the drift

I would like a CitiesSkylines community on Lemmy.

I think moderators of the large subreddit should immigrate the users with a statement while privated.

Game-specific subreddits (i.e., LegendsofRuneterra, PathofChampions, CustomLoR, MagicArena, leagueoflegends, starcraft, Factorio, LastEpoch, ftlgame). [email protected] looks good.

Franchise-specific subreddits like Batman. [email protected] 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.

I've got my politics, I've got my world news, techstuff, gaming & memes. I'd like to see picture subs like earthporn more populated. They're currently pretty empty. Also missing content in my regional Austria sub but that will solve itself if the reddit exodus continues.

If anyone misses /r/chapotraphouse they have their own version of Lemmy they have built for the last 3 years which should be back to being federated soon. hexbear.net for anyone interested.

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

None of the No Man's Sky subs have shown indications of moving, which bums me out. I'd much rather get my glyphs, neat screenshots, and wild speculation from a forum rather than Discord.

Missing: r/liberalgunowners, r/libertarian without the hard-right Mises Caucus flavor, r/reloading, r/longrange

Happy to see: r/iowa, r/SocialistRA

Happy to not see: r/politics, r/whitepeopletwitter and their... unique dogpiling

Reddit refugee here - just created [email protected], one subreddit I will miss after leaving Reddit

Maybe some IT meme subs. I feel like those will be on here soon enough.

I also miss my local subs. I live in a midsized city and it's going to take quite a lot of time for it to migrate. I don't want to start it myself because the community is pretty toxic, but it has helpful information. What I'm saying is, I don't want to be a moderator to that community hah.

Interestingafuck, sharepoint, o365, mapsporn, yuzu, kotlin, all missing

It’s been here already. c/fuck_cars

Waiting for the parenting subreddits to appear.

Movies (I think, still new to Lemmy so I may not be seeing it)
