Actually, I like the small community vibe of Lemmy. It’s the dead sub vibe I have a problem with. There are lots of really interesting communities, but you don’t see people posting anything yet.
I like a lot of the tiny vibe but I miss girl Reddit. It was such a unique social media atmosphere and I haven’t managed to find it here. I hope more of the women from Reddit come here
Took a long time for that to become a thing.
It'll come here though for sure. I think most people are trying to filter into whatever communities exist right now to get a feel of how federation works but once everyone has a decent idea I think you'll see an explosion of communities.
Yeah that’s where I am. Also its important to remember that the apps are nice but very beta, and what we have now are early adopters. Like part of why I’m here is that I oppose the increasing corporatization of the internet enough to sacrifice a better experience for it. We need the people who care but not that much so we can get the people who don’t care but think this is a better space.
It’s a long and slow process and if lemmy gains steam like we hope the real competition may start pushing centralized communities to quit their bullshit.
I was talking to my wife about me joining here and she pointed out that Lemmy really is the best use case for the fediverse. Forums were hard to centralize unlike Microblogging and other more social media-y social media. It’s less individual user dependent of a format
very well stated
My girl subreddits are my big miss too. Even my silly pop culture ones. Actually especially those.
It’s not silly. It’s community and shared interests. And the response I’m seeing to my comment is assuring me that we’ll have these communities back before too long
I miss GirlGamers, honestly. It was such a refreshing perspective compared to the constantly angry/circlejerky dudebro vibe of 90% of gaming communities
Yeah! It, trollx and witchesvspatriarchy were some of my favorite subs.
I've seen a couple of witchy communities pop up here, apologies I can't link because I'm on mobile but try searching at lemmyverse.net and it should turn up some stuff.
I really hope witchesvspatriarchy moves to the Fediverse; one of my faves
We’ve found each other again! Those were my top subs as well.
Yeah, this isn’t the same account name I used on them but I loved those subs. I’m so glad it looks like there are a lot of women on here

That's the one area that's missing for me as well, there is a general lesbian community that was just started yesterday, sapphics on lemmy.world, yesterday I found it and was like "neat! I need to post to help this grow, errrr... what do I post?"
Hmm maybe I’ll just have to post something silly about loving my wife on there
Are you looking for more girly communities? Maybe consider starting one if you can’t find what you’re looking for.
Am girl, excited to help build a community here!
Using this to plug my community [email protected] for League of Legends stuff. Trying to make it a bit more popular but it seems like there's only one other person posting so far
Keep on posting. As long as there’s something, other people won’t think it’s completely dead. Eventually others will start posting too.
lemmy.ml is defederated from all kbin instances, right? that might make it a harder place for a community to congregate. Just going off what I was reading in this reddit thread
