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?

I'm gonna miss furry_irl tbh. I didnt post that much tbh, but I liked that community. Fortunately there is a furry instance here.

Looks like it's been here for a while (worldbuilding), just isn't that active.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Missing lots of groups.

Region/language specific: German, Hamburg

Topics: Climate, Gamedesign, ChatGPT, DebateReligion, DebateMeatEaters, AskScience

Someone posted https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/t/4331/The-growing-list-of-subreddits-going-to-be-dark-but which seems to suggest at least some of these already exist. But when I try to find/subscribe, I get "No results". I'm trying to find new communities here, is this the right way? https://lemmy.click/search/q/search/type/Communities/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1

I really like the poker subreddit. It's a really strange place, there's always some kind of shit post, tons of sarcasm.. people are dicks to eachother. And yet it can be a very helpful resource when the facade drops and people become genuinely helpful. Also lots of great clips from world poker events. I'm not sure Lemmy is the place for this tbh, there are many other established poker forums.

Mostly communities for specific games. Like Destiny, Forza, Deep Rock Galactic, and that taboo anime game. I also miss the fanart communities. Hopefully these will grow here too over time, but who knows.

I'm wondering about u/poemforyoursprog. Sam has been a reddit fixture for around a decade now. I remember this one time in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table."

I really want a csharp (C#) one. I know there is one but no one has posted there yet. XD And more game/Indie dev.

And something equivalent to the aww subreddit (does anyone know one?).

I need a r/EnoughMuskSpam

No. I would really like /r/AskLemmy to happen though.

Not yet. I really hope people start coming over though. Things like Unraid were a HUGE resource. Maybe stuff like BuyItForLife and so on.

I used reddit for crowdsourcing info on products and tech support.

As a non American user, I recently struck gold finding r/USDdefaultism. It'd be nice if the need for this kind of sub doesn't migrate to Lemmy as well though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looks like no videos? Maybe linking to peertube?

We've got [email protected] already which makes me very happy, [email protected] is taking off nicely, now all I need is Eurovision and fantasy football if anyone has a lead on any such communities.

i haven't found a grimdank or other wh40k comunity so far

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

One of my most visited lately is for a reality TV show, Vanderpump Rules. It’s not here, but I suspect the crossover between early adopters here on the fediverse and trashy reality TV shows is very low lol.

I created mine. !synths[email protected]

It has not, but im considering making a lost media community on Blahaj Zone.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Mainly specific game subs, but I could always make them myself I suppose.

For the most part yes, I would say anything mainstream is generally made its way to lemmy, however some niche subs like r/hamradio r/gmrs and some gaming subreddits like r/fireemblem and r/finalfantasy seem to be missing. Honestly I'm surprised even 90+% of the communities I follow are on here, I'm quite hopeful that it'll continue to get better.
