Asklemmy

I'm surprised nobody mentioned my absolute fav /r/askhistorians

I miss women centric subs, especially thes ones with a mix of posts that foster discussion, memes, and support such as witchesvspatriarchy

Best of redditor updates because I want my stories lol

Specific subs for shows because I like reading episode discussions, often someone catches something I missed that gives more context or they catch clues and foreshadowing. Theories too. Or just seeing if anyone else had same thoughts I did! I think it will be a long time before lemmy is big enough to be close to that, and will probably only be newer shows.

Also just the sheer volume of content produced every day. I'll hold strong though and not give reddit any traffic. Reddit was fantastic as a lurker, posting most anywhere large felt like whispering into a void. Lemmy is great for actually participating, I think it will be a long time yet until it's as fun for lurking.

/r/resume was great, as well /r/career advice, and really any career centric subs. Being able to bounce career questions off of others is an absolute gold mine of information that only serves to forward the field.

I haven't seen Photoshopbattles yet in my community perusing. Def one of my faves.

I just want to see enough folks from some of the gaming communities move over: (Most of these have small communities already, I just want growth!)

2007scape for the memes

Satisfactory for the incredible creativity

Nomanssky for the same reason ^

Forzahorizon for the weekly challenge discussions and screenshots

FFXIV for the community ‘vibe’

Really any game with a fun online community, these are just a few of the ones I enjoy.

For me, sports communities. Game day threads are a blast.

The music production ones r/ableton r/audioengineering r/mixingandmastering r/maschine

Slightly related: someone needs to organize a celebrity AMA on Lemmy to let people know that there’s a new sheriff in town (or something like that).

Normalnudes

IntermittentFasting

NoSleep

Written erotica, any of them.

The general "Music" and "Movie" threads because I did discover stuff on them as well as being able to suggest stuff.

But have been satisfied with some of these that are still small but growing - curlyhair, science fiction, cocktails (mine now), fermentation and sourdough. And overall happy to give up the faster moving subs and be here for the beginning time.

The anime and manga communities are totally silent on Lemmy. Would be great if we can have some weeb juice flowing here as well.

I wish there there were more parenting comms. You have a few low activity general parenting comms and a surprising amount of healthy dad comms (go dads!), but you don't have the break outs. I guess I'll shill my instance where I'm hoping more parents will pop up to

There are some more, but those are the ages I have kids in lol.

Non-English subs. They are starting but it will take a while to catch up.

Also, just to throw this out there for anyone who isn't aware; some fine folks have made a site where you can search for communities across all instances. Check it out!

browse.feddit.de

r/writtingprompts by far my favorite community of all time and I hope it makes a resurgence

Other ones would be r/the10thdentist, r/nottheonion and r/askhistorians (they probably will never join since they have their own website to fall back own if it all goest to shit)

Lastly r/manga, I said this one as separate because I have seen a few but the community is not there yet, especially lacking features like what are you reading this month and at MOST having 15 subscribers

Health-related communities, particularly those for specific medical conditions. Those are the communities that really become a lifeline for people, help them through diagnoses or just difficult times, and can serve as an excellent resource. I was active on r/diabetes_t1 on Reddit and am trying to get a community started here on Lenny.world (!T1diabetes).

Tip of my tongue.

/r/CombatFootage and specifically the Ukraine War subs.

I fail to comprehend why there's no community dedicated to "Rock" music. This network, after all, was named after one of the most iconic rock stars of our era...

Lemmy needs more comics

The women’s communities. Everything from trollx to girlgamers to tallgirls

I also miss femdomcommunity because it’s one of the few sensible kink communities on the internet

r/wicked_edge, r/nosurf, r/meditation

WickedEdge already exists on this platform, but it's not active and doesn't have the same community. These niche communities will not be the same as those on Reddit since many of the people are normies and don't care at all about Reddit's shitty platform. I would open some communities on my own, but I'm not an expert in these fields, like for example in shaving, and I couldn't be of any help for other people.

r/therewasanattempt

AreTheStraightsOk and AreTheCisOk

My ultimate guilty pleasure -- gossip and snark communities.

I don't mean to be a Debbie downer but even I have trouble enjoying Lemmy because of some of it's problems/quirks. I don't think it'll be anywhere near as popular as alternatives with those problems present. I hate it but that's how I feel. I hope it gets better

/r/ActLikeYouBelong !!

r/hardcore, r/bodybuilding, and r/steroids are the ones I'm missing the most. Instagram is my only source for hardcore punk now. I second r/hiphopheads too! I wish I had the time to moderate so I could start them myself.

Arts (Printmaking, Graffiti, sculpture, calligraphy, typography, design), and all the SFW porn subs.

Also, I'm really amazed that https://lemmy.world/c/sourdough is already quite active.

If there is something you want, create it. Lemmy is new, and there are not a ton of people posting. Someone will need to do it first.

All of them.

FFXIV, Steam Deck, ARAD

I sorely miss /r/PCGaming.

I know there are a few on here and I am going to try to post on them to try to get it going. Still a long way to go though.

It'll take time.

Some of the jokes were nice - with the best laughs coming from the replies and the bad puns.

I would love to see GameDeals and googleplaydeals on lemmy.

/dragonsfuckingcars and /r/carsfuckingdragons I just need them to exist

Yes, I absolutely loved listentothis. I think it was sort of losing user interaction towards the end but it was so great to comb through previous years to find great music.

We should definitely get another one up and running!

I'll really miss the location specific subreddits, those were super useful when travelling to find stuff only local redditors knew about. It helped get you off the beaten path.

r/intp. Also miss the active python and data analysis subs, I know there are python communities here but they seem quiet.

All the self-help ones. Social Skills, Adulting, RBN...
