MODERATORS
 

Is there anything you'd like to talk about or share but haven't found a place to do so? What communities (or "subreddits" for all Reddit refugees) would you like to see?

This could be a resource for anyone wanting to start a community and find out what people are looking for, and a place to request a community you just haven't found yet.

My local subreddit, but it will sadly never happen, because the overwhelming majority of users there simply don't care about whatever spez or reddit is doing - they didn't even do the 48h blackout, just complete apathy. Oh well, I'll miss it, but not enough to actually go back there, so it's all good.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, time for you to create it and hope that a new generation of lemmy users will eventually find their place.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

That's not happening either - I would not be a moderator or leader of any community even if it was a paid position :) It's fine though - I can definitely live without it, I'll just need a bit of time to get over the addiction fully - I am surprised at how much I like this place, so it's actually going much smoother than I expected.

What is it?

[–] taladar 9 points 2 years ago

Talesfromtechsupport and the other tales subreddits were always great.

I will miss Hybrid Animals too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I really miss my local city sub. It had barely any traffic but it would keep me in touch with certain events abs news.

I tended to use Reddit for smaller niche communities, many of which I do not see here yet. For example Eldin Ring, Ghost of Tsushima, Hot Sauce, Gifrecipes, Rings of Power, PTCGL. It will be nice when these can be created and have enough people to make it interesting but it's not there yet.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Niche, but I enjoyed Stereograms.

Cosplay, anyone? Like sewing, there's some amazing artists out there.

one of those local r4r

In this case it should be called l4l or k4k, depending whether they're on Lemmy or Kbin.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I keep looking out for the lonely lemming subs but nothing yet. They probably need a particular population size (and mix) before they start working. Same for the random acts subs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

A league of legends community would be nice

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

None really, got all my crafts here already and my other account has all kinds of gamedev communities to follow. Now that Star Trek is here and a couple of people have set up Eurovision communities, not to mention UKCasual is here, I'm pretty sorted!

Just need more people to join in with the ones that exist, now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do you have any gamedev communities to recommend?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Sure! [email protected] (Lemmy link) / (Kbin link) has become the most active general gamedev one although there are others, if you visit this one you'll see there's a pinned thread with links to all kinds of related communities you might like. Engine specific ones as well as other general gamedev ones and so on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[Kinda random yapping] Hopefully some day the link stuff gets sorted >.<; Here on kbin the "local link" points at c/[email protected], but kbin uses m/ instead of c/ so it doesn't work. Switching to m/ is doable enough but it'll be nice for that (and general inter-instance fussness) to be no longer necessary :-\

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

This is perfect thank you I was going to add a Kbin version but wasn't sure exactly what would work. Imma start doing that for everything now!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

joke subreddits such as /r/pferdesindkacke, /r/breadstapledtotrees, /r/dogswithwings etc.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

For the racing enthousiasts, I created c/wec . Feel free to join, I'm lonely over there :D

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I play a lot of Stardew Valley and I'm going to miss that community, as there sadly doen't seem to be enough interest for it around here. And the jazz-related communities are also inactive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'd love to be part of a stardew Valley community, is there one already on kbin?

A lastfm community that is active

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

HobbyDrama. I wouldn’t have anything to contribute so I haven’t started it myself, but I really enjoyed reading the in depth writings about niche hobby blowouts.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I wish for TheIsle to become a Sublemy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I want to see the see silly story subreddits: TIFU, AITA, Am I the Devil, things like that. And I'll miss Best of Reddit updates.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

a new home for r/comics!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A malazan book of the fallen community and a world of tanks blitz one

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I feel like for Malazan the only alternatives have been discord servers, and maybe the old forum but I haven’t been there in a long time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Do you have links to the discords?

I'm listening to HoC on audiobook. Its been kind of hard to follow because I haven't had a pile of time to listen consistently.

This one is a hard one, but so many of my favorite podcast subreddits aren't available here for sending in memes and OC. Miss those communities.

The two that I can think of are Justrolledintotheshop and Fitness. I know there are fitness communities, but I miss the Weekly rant, victory posts, and the activity. There was also a circlejerk version of it and I liked lurking there. I understand that the type of person signing up here probably aren’t into some of these things.

I know Justrolledintotheshop didn’t participate in the blackout because it seems like a lot of the posters there didn’t care about the API stuff. They also don’t care about their personal data being harvested, and I’m sure they complain about right to repair and all of that fun stuff too.

Anyways, I always liked the “humorous posts; educational comments” subreddit. Another example would be programmerhumor.

I appreciate the mods for what they do, but I only feel comfortable commenting, lurking, and the occasional posting. Posting content makes me feel too connected to the internet and reminds me to touch grass more often. Hence why I wouldn’t become a mod or create those subs

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Programmer humor is alive and well on lemmy world!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Another vote for justrolledintotheshop.

Celiac/gluten free, Natureismetal, Animalsbeinggenius'

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So far a couple of big ones (askreddit) and an unnamed one I used to occasionally go on using teddit on my PC browser are here, but I'm hoping that garfieldminusgarfield and imsorryjohn migrate if they already haven't.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

To add to that, I would wish for "calvinandhobbes". 😊

Want something like r/hardware.

They're up now but continuing to participate in Reddit leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
