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.
Personally I'm just going to miss the oddly specific meme subreddits like r/breadstapledtotrees and r/suspiciousquotes
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, PouchCatatoes 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
[email protected] is one I saw pop up recently.
[email protected] also.

Good pull
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.
https://lemmy.ml/c/datahoarder
Is the most active one I've seen.
https://kbin.social/m/DataHoarder
https://kbin.social/m/DataHorder
Also exist.
I've seen a bunch of those! You should be able to find them via browse.feddit.de/
Here are the subreddits I would miss the most:
...and all of the local/regional subreddits for cities / metro areas around the world.

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
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.
-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
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 love these:
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 need to see my "Imaginary" art again. There were so many subs with so much variety.
I'd love to see one for my state and one for my city, I was surprised they didn't exist
@thx1138 When I saw there wasn't one for my state on Kbin or Lemmy, I made /m/Utah. So maybe you can be the change in the world and make your state one. π
Well maintained state / city / town subs are such an incredible resource I absolutely hope to see more pop up
r/gainit and r/gtaonline (I don't play gta anymore, I just stayed for the big community)
Honestly I miss tech support subreddits the most. I really enjoyed killing some time scrolling through and seeing who I can help.
The thing is I don't know if that would be as useful here as on somewhere like Reddit because the bar to enter Lemmy and find a tech support page is a little higher.
Still could be useful and I imagine a few ones exist but I've only seen them for specific things like Lemmy so far
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.
Contagiouslaughter, Tooktoomuch, Tookjustenough, popculturechat
I miss r/rpg_gamers, some game dev subreddits, and like... The emulation/crtgaming/dosgaming type crowd. It's the only reason I still end up checking reddit. But I know it'll take time to grow more communities interested in these
I really miss shitpost crusaders
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.
Noncredibledefense of all the subs I'm jonesing for that one the most.
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 big one I'll miss is the Diablo subreddit. It was filled with contentious assholes, but the content was typically good.
This is posted quite a bit, before all the comments come in, folks please check the community browser to see if it exists before creating one https://browse.feddit.de/
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.
CleaningTips
I only found that sub a couple days before the blackout and it was so satisfying and helpful π
Also there is a hair magazine but it doesn't seem to be active π€·ββοΈ
I'm going to miss r/gunpla and my local town and city subreddits. There's a gunpla community on Lemmy, but it's still pretty small, and my town and city communities are definitely still leaving a lot to be desired. I hope I can contribute some, but I really did find a lot of value there I'll be missing
Gundeals. Those dudes need to migrate over here.
