I personally can’t wait to see communities like r/hiphopheads, r/internetisbeautiful, r/listentothis, r/battlestations… join lemmy and become as active as they are on reddit. what are some of y’all fav?
I’m surprised nobody mentioned my absolute fav /r/askhistorians
Please PLEASE get this one up and running! That place is a treasure trove of information. So much so, they should have their own website while maintaining a lemmy domain. That info should be disseminated across multiple platforms so it isn’t lost.
The mods seem to not like Lemmy specifically but I don’t know what their plan is. It seems like they’re just gonna be in this restricted mode forever. Makes it easier to leave Reddit though.
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.

Edit: also
/r/fixit or alike[email protected]/r/FindAReddit
/r/WowThisSubExists[email protected]/r/ActLikeYouBelong !!
I miss it too. There is https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
It’s not as active, of course, but that will come with time. The best thing you can do is help build the community.
Aw yes, thankyou! :)
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
Non-English subs. They are starting but it will take a while to catch up.
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.
r/jeopardy, especially if former contestants are involved in the community like they are on Reddit.
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.
they do have some good starters in that sub
A lot of the broader interest subs I followed have either migrated over or have local equilvalents.
I had a couple niche ones I miss. I work in hospitality so talesfromthefrontdesk is definitely one I miss, and I haven’t seen a good version here as of yet.
Specific game subs are not as popular here yet, but honestly I am not sure how much I really need that. Rimworld is probably the only game I keep coming back to often enough to justify it, and I largely use discord for that. Only thing I use discord for really.
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.
I liked to browse /r/cd_collectors and /r/fragrance
I liked seeing /r/witchesVSpatriarchy on /r/All, but I never really followed them.
Edit: spelling.
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.
It’s one of the biggest subs on Reddit, but having trouble taking off here.
Same thing for every single-game community. Dota’s deserted. Also things like patientgamers is lowering in activity.
r/whenthe one of the funniest subs on Reddit imo
I never understood it. What am I missing?
To me the humor comes from either the absurdity of the caption or the gif matches the caption really well.
