Reddit had a few awesome book communities like r/fantasy and r/printsf. Which I see a bit of here, but they still need to build up.
Lemmy
Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to [email protected].
I'm a bit overwhelmed by the response this has gotten. This thread could serve as a great source of inspiration for people who want to create subs (or is instances the right phrase now?) around topics they're passionate about. Forgive me the cliche but, be the change you want to see! If it doesn't exist, make it.
r/squaredcircle r/formuladank
Final Fantasy XIV. No, you have a problem!
Today I tried looking for tv show suggestions and so I would like to have r/television, r/movies, r/televisionsuggestions.
I'd like to see PS5, NintendoSwitch and ITManagers communities. I would start them, but do not have the time to moderate. :/
Cat communities are definitely a rabbit hole that is fun to go down on Reddit. Sport ones like r/NBA and r/Formula1 are some of my most used subreddits.
We do have [email protected] on Lemmy if you want a sport-based instance. It's dedicated to Australian Rules Football and the AFL. And if you don't follow the AFL, now's a great time to start 😊
Noncredibledefense. There's one already but it's not active at all
I def would like more activity on [email protected] , [email protected], and [email protected].
Games, Skyrim, Fallout, Dragon's Dogma, Elden Ring
Most of my time on Reddit was spent on r/Rimworld, r/Huntshowdown and r/books. So, those. I'll probably engage on any graphic design and art adjacent subs too, when they pop up.
Edit: actually, I'd like to get something cleared up. Instances are akin to subreddits? Or are multiple boards inside one instance?
I dont know if my niche will quite fit the site yet, but I've followed a lot of animal subs ( crestedgecko, aidke, partyparrot, the twenty thousand cat subs... catsbeingcats of course a favorite ) and also a lot of botany style subs ( botany is the obvious one, houseplants, houseplantcirclejerk, savagegarden, mycology ) and then the unusual to pique interest ( unusualvideos, atbge, designdesign, barbarawalters4scale, hmmmgifs )
Special call out to /todayilearned a /awwducational for giving me fun facts to share with my co workers.
I think if there were master communities it would help appeal to a broad crowd.
more animal pic subs
Easily 50% of my time on Reddit was spent on either /r/Worldbuilding or /r/GoodWorldbuilding and I'd love to see a community like that here on Lemmy. My favorite part was always the prompts and discussions which helped me further build my world and read cool details about other people's ones.
