Asklemmy

I still miss some of the more niche music subreddits, (updating this as I discover relevant communities)

• /kikagakumoyo
• /Krautrock
• /psychedelicrock
• /nearprog
• /zappa - [email protected]

I kinda miss collapse and acab for doom scrolling.

stupiddovenests

The grimdank here is inactive. I miss all my Warhammer 40k faction subs, distressingmemes/surrealmemes, and all the extremely active gamedev subs.

A pokemon go info and discussion community. More r/silph less /go .. some magical middle ground.

r/mls and r/soundersfc

There is an mls community but it doesn't get a lot of traffic.

r/PWM_Sensitive

It has less than 1000 members for a very niche topic. With the subreddit so small I doubt it would start here.

/r/midjourney

Where's stupidfood? I need ideas for dinner!

/r/Skincareaddiction, /r/EuroSkincare, various fanfiction subs, /r/Medicine, and a lot more.

Reddit has SO many niche communities that have built up a fairly large amount of information over time. I'm determined to stick to Lemmy but it sucks to lose all that knowledge. It's going to take years for Lemmy to build up.

Seems like all the main ones I subscribed to on reddit are already here in some form, I'm hoping AskHistorians comes on over. There's two more extremely niche communities related to US immigration that I'm in which seem unlikely to ever make it here, but we'll see.

Most of the technology subs I followed have migrated to some degree, but I've noticed a lot of "normie" subs are still stuck. For me in particular, r/Writing prompts, r/nosleep, and r/YoutubeHaikus are sorely missed.

Dragon Age. I need somewhere to bitch about not having news despite being promised news back in November (like goddamnit Bioware, all we want is a trailer!)

The anime community. Seems awfully dead over here on Lemmy. :/

I miss r/marijuanaenthusiasts, which was so named because weed enjoyers had already claimed r/trees. On a search, I see there has already been a "trees" community on Lemmy for a while now (more than one - because of course), but I turned up a big fat goose egg when looking for its arborism-centeic counterpart.

I miss communities sharing news about the attack of Russia on Ukraine. I was mainly browsing these subs: r/ukraine, r/ukrainewarvideoreport, r/combatfootage, r/ncd Non credible defence seems to be active but the others are pretty empty. These subs had about lets a ton of posts every day

There were a few professional psychology related subreddits that had moderation that verified licensure to allow posting only by actually professionals and that was pretty nice

There was also askatherapist which was interesting to get unfiltered client perspectives and offer clinician feedback

Morbidquestions was an interesting sub sometimes. 80% of the time it was stupid edgelord bullshit but sometimes someone would ask a really interesting dark question

Creepywikipedia was a good one and is explained by the name

/r/fitness. I know it sort of exists but the mods and the daily threads and wiki etc are awesome and I miss it.

UK focused casual discussion and news.

There's a very small amount, but nothing like there was on Reddit. It's the only thing I miss.
