Personally I don't care at all, but I've got a few friends hoping for a good gun group similar to liberalgunowners.
I would like a video group like r/unexpected and r/kidsarefuckingstupid for funny vids to share with my wife at bedtime.
Right now I feel like a new interesting and active community is appearing every hour or two so I'm not in a rush, I'm enjoying watching the whole lemmiverse taking its first big steps
https://lemmy.world/c/kidsbeingderps has a similar idea as r/kidsarefuckingstupid as per the sidebar.
Thereβs also an unexpected on lemmy.ml but itβs dead so maybe someone with a bunch of good videos/gifs can start to populate it or make a new one here.
I'm hoping that Lemmy gets a successor to r/unexpected that doesn't degenerate into a sea of TikTok skit reposts.
LGO would be great to see here
There's way more but I visit those a bit less, the problem is, I'm not sure if Lemmy can fill the void in my heart but if it does for those main ones (all above) then I think that I can permanently migrate from Reddit.
Don't know about any of the others, but I saw Best of Lemmy Updates pop up yesterday.
As others have said, anarchy chess is here already as is chatgpt
I've seen a bunch of those! You should be able to find them via browse.feddit.de/
https://lemmy.ml/c/datahoarder
Is the most active one I've seen.
https://kbin.social/m/DataHoarder

Also exist.
Personally I'm just going to miss the oddly specific meme subreddits like r/breadstapledtotrees and r/suspiciousquotes
I need to see my "Imaginary" art again. There were so many subs with so much variety.
Aw yeah! I loved those! My favorite was r/imaginarycyberpunk!
Here are the subreddits I would miss the most:
...and all of the local/regional subreddits for cities / metro areas around the world.
https://lemmy.world/c/legaladvice
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
https://lemmy.world/c/dadjokes
https://lemmy.world/c/dadworld
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
https://lemmy.world/c/parenthood
https://lemmy.world/c/parenting
https://lemmy.world/c/kidsbeingderps
maybe a roblox community or ones aimed towards cetain games and suggestions for games or should i buy (this), also ones to go to when bored or sad.
I'm going to miss the subreddits for skilled trade professionals (plumbing, electrical, etc), especially the ones set up to give folks advice, like
r/askaplumber
r/mechanicadvice
r/askalocksmith
and such.
I would love to see some communities like that pop up here.
EDIT: r/contagiouslaughter was always a great way to start my day as well! I'll miss that one for sure
Definitely all the question-answer subreddits, like AskScience, AskScienceFiction (though for the love of god please call it AskFiction this time), NoStupidQuestions, TooAfraidToAsk, ChangeMyView (with the Delta bot), AskMeAnything.
AskReddit equivalent already exists: [email protected].
I miss fantasy writers and magic building. I would even be willing to moderate them. But I lack any skills to contribute to them. Not to mention Iβm worried that most people are not interested in move as writing subreddits struggle to get off ground.
What I'm missing the most:
AmateurRoomPorn, FemaleLivingSpace, MaleLivingSpace and similars. Plenty of ideas on how to decorate my home, suggestions,..
OneOrangeBraincell, Flonkers, MurderMittens, ToeFeathers, PoichCatatoes and other 'niche' cat subreddits. I can survive with the already existing IllegallySmolCats and Cats, I guess.
GifRecipes, ShittyGifRecipes, ShittyFoodPorn. Ones for learning new stuff to cook, others.. for learning what NOT to cook thankyouverymuch.
HistoryMemes
Tattoos
Submechanophobia
Submechanophobia
Good pull
I found pretty much everything by now. But I'm still missing:
And of course some activity in niche communities, but that will come.
I'd like to find a good archery community. I think I want to pick it up as a hobby, but don't know where to start.
Me too, though there's no shortage of good info on forums (archery talk forums specifically has a "so you want to get started in archery" guide).
The best advice, though, is to find a local club and ask to go on a beginner course using their equipment ... different regions have different trends, and there's usually a reason!
Very niche, but I would love to see a (bullet) journaling community on here. it was one of my favourite places to go on reddit. Also miss the fantasy community, but as I understand it, there are a lot of new communities in beta related to favourite authors and such.
Some game specific ones. Like, Satisfactory, Elden Ring. A Boomer Shooter specific magazine/community might be nice. There's a Toronto biking specific subreddit, but not sure threadiverse is big enough to have enough bicyclists from Toronto for it yet
I'd like to see something similar to r/bigbangedmemes or r/blackholedmemes, these subs are about editing heavily a meme screenshot/image at the point to turn it into an un-understandable trippy image, at a point where it's almost a form of art. They are still public on reddit right now so I don't know if it's a good idea to create an alternative here already.
a populated c/drugs
A populated aquarium/fishkeeping community
Contagiouslaughter, Tooktoomuch, Tookjustenough, popculturechat
Just dropping in here to leave a useful resource for you all https://lemmyverse.net/communities
You can set your home instance in the top right and it'll generate direct links for you to avoid all the faffing about with copy pasting.
I'd love these:
A PCcomponents community to replace the separate intel, amd and nvidia subreddits. With the better moderation across lemmy Iβm hopeful that it wouldnβt turn into flame wars between brands.
A big one I'll miss is the Diablo subreddit. It was filled with contentious assholes, but the content was typically good.
-prisonhooch - fermenting things that really shouldnt have been fermented into alcohol. always a good laugh to see some ridiculous ideas.
-canned fish/seafood enthusiasts
-hot sauce and/or spicy condiments
