I, being someone who works with computers, have had some luck with most of my favorite subs being here already.

Despite that, some of my hobby ones still aren't here. NFL exists, but it's the same as nothing so far. Soccer I couldn't find at first, maybe today it already does? Also, no sign of fantasy football.

I also followed a bunch of History subs, but looks like most people in Lemmy only care about science and technology.

Tell us, what is missing for you?

One of my favorite subreddits is r/engrish. Its basically all about funny english mistakes. I couldn't find it anywhere so i just created it here and posted some of my favourites. I would love if people are intrested is post you english mistaks you find and help build out the community. Im still very new to lemmy but have been loving it.

Waiting for the parenting subreddits to appear.

Subreddits to discuss certain bands, or games, or tv shows. Yeah sometimes they got repetitive but it was cool to see memes and discussion about specific pieces of media. Even if r/Metallica has a post every day about how St. Anger is underrated. Or the subreddit for Battlefield 1 just complains about certain weapons in a game from 2015.

One of my main subs was /r/cfb, I don't think it has transitioned yet... Hopefully it'll get up and running before football season starts.

Mechanicalpencils is missing for me. I don't post there much on reddit, but I love lurking there. I hope they migrate.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

r/pens and r/fountainpens too!

Like you, I am not terribly active there but I enjoy lurking on both.

I'm waiting for someone to re-create r/france here, as it seems you need an engineer degree to understand how to setup your instance :(

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In general you don't need to set up your own instance to create a Community /c/France, you can just create it on any existing instance that allows Community creation by users. I notice you're on beehaw who have decided to limit Community creation to Admins for now.

That said, many regional non-english speaking communities have made their own instances (feddit.de, feddit.dk, feddit.ir), maybe it has something to do with limiting language used?

Hey fam ,

I created https://lemmydeals.com because most of the reason why I went to reddit was to find deals anyway. Hope you can go take a look!

We are migrating as we speak onto my local instance, I suspect the larger ones may get overloaded on the 12th

I'd love to see a Minnesota Vikings subreddit and am thinking about starting one but am intimidated* at being not only a mod but the top mod. I've never been a mod before and don't want to mess it up haha

I've had to change my mindset; if I care about it existing, then I have to be the one who makes it. I've already created [email protected] and I've become a mod for [email protected].

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Esoteric one for all of you … r/faceting used to discuss faceting gemstones. Also r/gemstones … what can I say it’s a hobby I enjoy. 😁

It's not much but it's honest work... I remember finding this sub the first time and was blown away that I wasn't alone! So I started it. [email protected]

I just started [email protected] hoping to see the Beat Saber subreddit migrate over but I'm not sure of the future direction. Be the change you want to see!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, but all things in due time.

No and I doubt they will, I'll have to look for an alternative to get my mexican memes and news.

I didn't really have a favourite sub. My reddit activity was mostly in trans spaces, but I've got that covered here on the fediverse, because I admin a trans Hajkey/Calckey instance.

So instead, I find myself using threadiverse communities that I wasn't really active in on reddit

Game specific ones like satisfactory mostly. And AITA is entertaining and infuriating.
