as a reddit refugee i mostly use lemmy, but sometimes i go back by a lack of alternative to some subreddit, which one you feel there is a need ?
I really miss daddit.
Maybe you need to create dadly or kdadbin?
Great names! 😂
/r/askscience /r/askmen and the ones for the TV shows I watch.
Second the TV show communities. Always enjoyed the post-episode discussions.
Comicbooks.
Does [email protected] work for that?
The average person won’t jump through these hoops just trying to subscribe to a community. I can clearly see them on a list, but still not able to join a bunch from my instance (lemm.ee). Are they too small? Nobody from my instance on them? Whatever.
I think that if there is no one from your instance (which also happens to be my instance) is subscribed to a community on an instance other than your own then you have to search for it in the search bar (using the url or !community@lemmyinstance) before you will be able to interact with it. Lemmy doesn’t synchronize everything between all instances by default, only what is needed to save on resources.
No one on your instance has subscribed to them, but you still can. Just copy the full link of the community on the instance and paste it into your instances search bar and it may lag but give it 30 seconds or so.
The after that everyone on your instance can discover it more easily.
I miss my guilty pleasure /r/NonCredibleDefense
That exists here now.
Yep, the [email protected] one seems the most active that I can find.
Just from the top of my head r/BoneAppleTea and r/AmITheAsshole
Both of these are on lemmy.world. Might not be quite as much content yet though.
Someone did make goblincore, but it’s still mostly empty and I’m not talented enough to contribute lol
I loved looking through all the mossy green nature pics, tiny ecoscapes, mushrooms, frogs, and forest-witch style craftsmanship from people much more creative than myself
One that I miss is “r/sex” for discussions and support about sex.
r/Sex is a good one, however 90% of questions could be answered by “talk to your partner”. I’ll agree that it is a positive community for general discussion about sex though.
I think there’s a sub like that on the nsfw instance
It shows that these are the communities of geeks, doesn’t it
I think I’ve found most of the communities here that I subscribed to when I left reddit. There are a couple I wish were here or more active.
Daddit was a great group of dads that were supportive and welcoming where we could vent, share memes, and just have general discussions about being a dad. They were really welcoming of moms too, as there’s not always a dad present for the kids.
I miss Warhammer 40k lore and memes.
There’s [email protected]
It’s about Warhammer 40k the tabletop game.
Interesting, I assumed it would be both. Well for memes there’s /c/[email protected].
Thank you
For me economics, finance, and investing subs are the ones that I got back for. Other than that most of the subs that I liked are mostly here
Lemmy currently lacks the userbase for niche, specific communities, or subregional communities
Yep. It’s never an issue to fill a message board with memes and cats, the hard part is filling the niche communities. I hope it gets there.
Fingers crossed that they come eventually.
Sync for reddit will soon be linking to Sync for lemmy
I’m missing pretty much all the “League of Legends Mains” communities, especially ADCMains and SamiraMains. They were one of my absolute go-to subreddits and the only reason I haven’t fully deleted my account yet.
Other then that it’s mostly niche things, especially very niche wholesome fem-oriented NSFW subs
I look at it as Lemmy isn’t large enough to support smaller communities unless they come here as is.
Parenting communities. The culture can be very hit or miss, but that might apply to most communities. I just want somewhere to commiserate with others without any judgment or the usual dramatic bullshit.
I agree. One of the first communities I looked for was a substitute for daddit. Let us know if you find / end up creating something.
I’ll edit this to provide a link at some point, but dadsplain might be what you are looking for.
