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?

So far I haven't found any running or ultra running communities.

Not fully. Some are but nothing that I've found like consolerrepair or any of the console hack community's. The main thing I liked from those was the resources you could find from the wikis or from old post.

No, but all things in due time.

I think the subs I am going to miss the most are mostly gaming subreddits, I dint have high hopes they'll move. /r/bindingofisaac will be most missed and /r/196 for the hilarity. I am sort of surprised that the list is so small, I feel like reddit communities have been going down in quality faster than usual lately. I like this place and tildes, if it could grow a bit more so 100+ comment threads could happen daily that would be perfect.

Looks like no videos? Maybe linking to peertube?

My beloved Manchester City (Football / Soccer team)are playing in the UEFA Champions league final tonight, I understand the mods may be a bit preoccupied yet hope the sub makes it over here. Right now though, I doubt there will be any moves yet for atleast a few days.

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.

Even with solid moderation I feel like it'd be harder than for other subs just because you really need to have a decent population of people who really know what they're talking about for it to work

I suspect that if Reddit got that bad, centralised alternatives such as the Hive would mop up a lot of the userbase. Yes they might not come over to Lemmy, but they could be enticed if Lemmy gets a bit of a split up of beginner/advanced levels of control.

Subreddits to discuss certain bands, or games, or tv shows. Yeah sometimes they got repetitive but it was cool to see memes and discussion about specific pieces of media. Even if r/Metallica has a post every day about how St. Anger is underrated. Or the subreddit for Battlefield 1 just complains about certain weapons in a game from 2015.

One of my most visited lately is for a reality TV show, Vanderpump Rules. It’s not here, but I suspect the crossover between early adopters here on the fediverse and trashy reality TV shows is very low lol.

Apple Business Manager and Intune would be super helpful to have.
