Education subs like ApplyingToCollege, 6thform, uniUK, SAT etc.
I'm not a full Lemmy user because these constitute my primary usage of Reddit but still come around Lemmy sometimes

r/bjj the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu sub. The community here is pretty dead

  2. An active cricket sub.

I miss the panel show subreddit they shitcanned last year for piracy. I’m not in the UK, but 8/10 Cats does Countdown is my favorite thing to watch. I have seen all of the episodes on YouTube πŸ˜…

What’s This Rock and What’s This Fossil. I was actually getting really good at my mineral identifications, I would try guessing the mineral before opening the three to see if I got it right or not. The fossil one because sometimes you got to see some really cool stuff, other time hilariously, bad fossils made with mosasaur teeth. And the occasional flint arrow head or hand axe but we’re not in the scope of the subreddit but still cool anyway.

Tip of my tongue, Tip of my joystick and Sid Meier's Civilization. The first two subs have Lemmy communities ([email protected] and [email protected]) but, sadly, they lack activity. r/civ is one of the only subreddits i'm still using, because it has lots of unique guides not found anywhere else.

AmITheAsshole. There's a few but they're all bots that repost Reddit content. No original ones that I've seen so far

Some mental health subs on here would be nice...

Personally, I'd appreciate more art subs being on here as well!

I really miss the community in r/woodstoving

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

r/zombiesurvivaltactics was a nice place for serious conversation about imaginary scenarios.

r/SamHarris was a great place for rational and intellectual discussion overall. People on that sub were significantly more measured and considerate with other people even about stuff they disagreed with than people on reddit in general.

r/NonCredibleDiplomacy and r/weezer. Two subs with insanely specific humor that I loved.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Just got an e-scooter so more content about those would be neat

/r/hyenas

I miss my daily dose of yeens from /u/McUsername621

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I'm approaching extraction day, getting a little less than half my teeth pulled. I was lurking on r/dentures for quite a while before I left. It would be nice if that community were around here.

Stable Diffusion. Of course there's plenty of Lemmy SD forums, but if that user base was here I'd be able to cut spezzit totally off
