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.

I got very lucky, there is a whole instance dedicated to flight simulation and aviation now! lemmyfly.org if anyone is wondering.
My subreddit list on Reddit was quite long, so it'll be a while until I have a comparable list with silly communities.
i'm trying to "migrate" my favorite subs to kbin. i am getting errors... don't know if i've met a limit or if everything is just overloaded rn
edit: after some hours, i'm allowed to make new "magazines" on kbin. god bless
Still looking for alternatives for r/mechanicalkeyboards and r/spacex
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 batteries, 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.
No but not a lot of people have multiple sclerosis so I undersand.
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.
r/historymemes for me
Not really, but it's not overly surprising really.
Most of my favourite subs are pretty nerdy, niche ones, or kinda based on a stupid joke. So the likes of /headphones /iPod /BicyclingCircleJerk may or may not make it over here.
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.
I just subscribed to my local city of /c/Boston - but there are no posts yet. I just really want a space where I can talk about local current events, news, business openings and closures, infrastructure projects, etc.
I also liked going into other city's subs to see what's going on before travelling. In Reddit, they were always great spaces for restaurant recommendations, helpful tips and tricks, tourist traps to avoid, etc.
Some have, some haven't.
Two which haven't are /r/sweden and /r/languagelearning hopefully they'll come soon.
It would be kinda nice if /aaaaaaacccccccce made it over. I know there's a lgbt on beehaw but it's not quite the same if that makes sense.
Interestingafuck, sharepoint, o365, mapsporn, yuzu, kotlin, all missing
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.
I mean I mainly spent my time on the UK based subs and we've got United Kingdom and casualuk equivalents here already which is good. They both need a lot more users though.
Mainly what I'm missing are skateboarding, more specific music subs like metal, punk etc., but those will come in time I'm sure.
Nice to be here by the way, still getting used to how the whole fediverse thing works but it seems pretty cool so far!
Not yet, I made a couple for discussions about whiskey and steam remote play (playing steam games on your phone and stuff). I just realized I should post the massive guide I wrote for the latter in the new community!
Waiting for the Farming and Gardening subs to move over along with prepping.
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
A user migrated one, I migrated another. Neither have had activity worth mentioning.
There's a handful of others I used heavily that haven't though. I'm missing r/metalmemes in a bad way lol.
I follow a lot of niche hobby and some other communities that haven't come over yet.
A couple have started to shuffle on over but not a lot yet.
I also followed a lot (like a serious amount) of art subs that haven't seemed to come over yet. I basically followed most of the "imaginary[insert niche here]" subs.
So far almost none of mine are on here. May have to change that.
I'd love to see a Minnesota Vikings subreddit and am thinking about starting one but am intimidated* at being not only a mod but the top mod. I've never been a mod before and don't want to mess it up haha
One of my favorite subreddits is r/engrish. Its basically all about funny english mistakes. I couldn't find it anywhere so i just created it here and posted some of my favourites. I would love if people are intrested is post you english mistaks you find and help build out the community. Im still very new to lemmy but have been loving it.
Mechanicalpencils is missing for me. I don't post there much on reddit, but I love lurking there. I hope they migrate.
r/pens and r/fountainpens too!
Like you, I am not terribly active there but I enjoy lurking on both.
I'm waiting for someone to re-create r/france here, as it seems you need an engineer degree to understand how to setup your instance :(
In general you don't need to set up your own instance to create a Community /c/France, you can just create it on any existing instance that allows Community creation by users. I notice you're on beehaw who have decided to limit Community creation to Admins for now.
That said, many regional non-english speaking communities have made their own instances (feddit.de, feddit.dk, feddit.ir), maybe it has something to do with limiting language used?
I've had to change my mindset; if I care about it existing, then I have to be the one who makes it. I've already created [email protected] and I've become a mod for [email protected].
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.
I mostly used /r/Denmark. Now I use the feddit.dk instance, but it isn't officially supported by the /r/Denmark mods.
