Another /r PokemonTTRPG would be nice.

Not that the subreddit was enormously active, but would love to see more folks over here instead of reddit. Unfortunately I think a lot of that crowd is still stuck on Facebook too, so there’s that.

If this one got more activity, I could stop using Instagram completely (already dumped FB and Reddit).

Communities that are mostly on meta are going to be tough to shift. One of my main ones is Electric Unicycles, which has a lot of activity over there because people rely on it for organising group rides and such. It means even the subreddit is pretty small.

I tried looking for less niche categories, like for Personal Electric Vehicles, no luck. The closest I found on Lemmy is for micromobility, but it's pretty dead.

I miss the random passion of /r/CFB. It was great because all of the toxicity normally in sports was gone, and everyone was just enjoying the game and news about their teams. In the off-season people would concoct the most convoluted, elaborate shitpost for why their team is the best. I think my favorite essay was once about how the Alabama Crimson Tide's greatest enemy wasn't any other team, but the full moon, and went into a heavy statistical data dive to demonstrate how the teams few losses (they were seriously on an unprecedented run for over a decade) all came on or around the full moon. That and the team are the Tide, so of course it's the moon.

That type of energy focuses on college football is lacking in Lemmy, and I haven't found something similar here yet

I would like to see more rpg discussion, I like that the [email protected] doesn't end-up an D&D community like in the alien website, but I would love to see more than one discussion thread per week.

https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] really needs an active user base. It's inherently international and applies to anyone in any country who loves football/soccer. There are so many things going on in the sport at all times of year, not just in season.

Musician fan groups are pretty neat. There's probably not enough people here to recreate that yet. Heck, the biggest music groups are kind of dead.

I am mainly looking to fill the trans subreddit void! Reddit was a very good place to find other trans ppl and then ask questions and relay stories and such

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

/r/Columbus . [email protected] exists but it never really took off and has been dead for 8 months. I haven't had anything relevant to post there, but if I find something good, I'll post it. [email protected] just isn't the same.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

small locales gonna take a while to launch on lemmy, sadly

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

shitty ask reddit. In this case it's called shitty ask hilarious chaos. We need more quality text shitposting participants.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (6 children)

Beer stuff... I've added to the 2 groups I've found here. But, a lot more activity would be great.

I still Google with a "Reddit" tag when I'm looking for brewery suggestions in a new area I'm visiting. It's pretty helpful, but, I'd like to lean on the Fediverse more.

I need someone to start posting a lot of celebrity snark. Like, low quality mean snark about rich cunts. I in no way will contribute, other than the odd carefully rationed upvote, but I will consume guiltlessly.

Hurry, now.

May be too specific but have been inconsistently trying to get [email protected] going as a community to find alternatives/similar stuff to what one likes.

It's a riff on the old ifyoulikeblank subreddit without the initially unclear tagging requirements.

People comment, which is great, but few other posters.

[email protected] This community was abandoned, until I decided to become mod and give it some life(Guides and posts). There was some activity the past month, still nothing like the subreddit one, and it has 2k subs.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Have you ever considered moving it off lemmy.ml to another instance? Some people avoid lemmy.ml (https://feddit.nl/post/16246531)

Also, feel free to join us on [email protected]

[–] roserose56 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yea I know about lemmy.ml, I also heard that they don't like mods from other instances to mod their communities, yet, I was made after requesting it. I could move it yea, will think and do. thanks for the community!

Subreddit drama was pretty good for keeping track of drama in the space.

[email protected] Its hard to pump up because posting other people's guinea pig pictures is kinda weird.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (2 children)

posting other people’s guinea pig pictures is kinda weird.

Is it? I post other people creations on [email protected] all the times, seems fair as long as you give credits

The divisional "(N/Afc East/North/West) memewar" subs too

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Anything about guitars. The most popular one has several days between posts, orhers have months or even years between posts.

It's probably the only thing I miss about Reddit.
