MODERATORS
I'm surprised to find there are no adult subs popping up.
I hit up my brother in law who is involved in the adult industry and he is going to spin up an instance that's super ok with adult content in the next day or so.
Let's face it, without porn tumbler disappeared, and I think Reddit will too when it bans anything nsfw

Here are the ones I'd most like to see:
- AskScience
- AskWomenOver30
- auntienetwork
- CozyPlaces
- crowbro
- EarthPorn
- FinancialIndependence
- fitness30plus
- GenX
- greyhounds and longboyes
- Guitar, JustinGuitar, LearnGuitar, and guitarporn
- hyenas

- RStudio
- ShitAmericansSay

- TeenMomOGandTeenMom2 because I love my stupid guilty pleasure trash TV lol
- TheGirlSurvivalGuide
- xxfitness
- And every single animal subreddit
Both are a bit new and I still need moderators given the larger scale, but c/EarthPorn is now here, as is c/personalfinance
For an askscience alternative, I'd say check out: https://mander.xyz/c/nostupidquestions
For space stuff, I'd say check out https://mander.xyz/c/astronomy and https://mander.xyz/c/space
mander.xyz as a whole is meant to be science and nature focused.
Granted they're all tiny and have low engagement, but it's a start.
Yes, definitely personalfinance!

The NSFW ones.
I should make a whole instance dedicated to that. Alas, I can't afford it and I lack the knowledge.
I can give you a push in the right direction as long as you are comfortable running commands in a terminal. After the initial 15-30 minutes of technical setup, it becomes easy. But other than that I have no desire to run an NSFW community.
Let me know - I could even set it up w/ you and hand you the keys, per se. I just don’t want lack of tech knowledge to be a barrier to entry for anyone.
You sound like a pretty great person and I really appreciate the offer. The biggest issue is money sadly, a fedi instance takes a lot of bandwidth and one dedicated to nsfw content will also take a lot of storage, both are things that in a vps would take a good bit of money and I'm already spending some, even if not A LOT, on my raccoonden.moe
The most band and storage heavy part of it is my radio which I host on a raspberrypi along with a mumble server, but there's only so much the poor thing can handle on it's own. Today I installed some neovim plugins and I already noticed using nvim feels a little slower, so I doubt a lemmy instance is a possibility.
Can the images not be hosted on redgifs? Is there an option for external hosting?

Lemmy is very lightweight in terms of RAM and CPU, but I agree storage would be a primary concern. Bandwidth TBD - I’ve only run my instance for about 24 hours
I wonder if another raspberrypi could handle it all on it's own if it's lightweight. But then again, it might need the same door that goes to the pi I already use and in that case things wouldn't work.
It would be very cool to host it but I think I'm gonna limit myself to modding a sub for something I like.
Well, whatever you do, what matters is you are here and engaging and building the community. That counts for something.

You could probably get a lemmy going in the cloud I know there are cloud services for mastodon don't know how much it costs but I don't think a small instance is that expensive just charge a fee of a few dollars per user and you should easily cover your cost and make a small bit of money as well
My understanding is that a lot of VPS hosts have rules against hosting NSFW content, and they have to be strictly moderated (hopefully for obvious reasons…).
I need some more sports communities. NFL, CFB, football/soccer, NBA, MLB, Hockey, etc. A lot of the very niche ones like certain anime (r/onepiece, r/kingdom, r/hunterxhunter) or book (r/asoiaf, r/stormlight_archive) or game (r/deadbydaylight, r/stellaris, r/EU4) probably aren't going to get high enough populations to exist here so i don't expect it. But I need the sport specific ones

Cat communities are definitely a rabbit hole that is fun to go down on Reddit. Sport ones like r/NBA and r/Formula1 are some of my most used subreddits.

/r/boardgames and /r/emacs for me. I can get some of my boardgame fix on Mastodon but the more the better. I see that there is a [email protected] but not very active so far and not sure if the mod is still around.
Final Fantasy XIV. No, you have a problem!

If you want to see a specific community that doesn't exist, then set it up and post some content! If you want the type of places to hang out that you had on Reddit, you need to create it, nurture it, and grow it. There's no guarantee that Lemmy will be the place to land during the Reddit exodus, but it is a place to land, and a damn fine one at that. Putting my money where my mouth is, if you ever want to talk about calculators head on over to [email protected]

r/selfhosted is an amazing community full of passionate people that live for this type of federated community.
I actually have a list of them so just to jot down a few.
~~r/CozyPlaces~~ ~~r/coreboot~~ ~~r/rabbits~~ ~~r/VoidBunnies~~ ~~r/RoomPorn~~ ~~r/WritingPrompts~~ r/ MirrorsEdgeAesthetics ~~r/ Otterable~~ r/OnlinePreservation ~~r/lagoloaf r/GoldenAgeMinecraft r/FarmsofStardewValley~~ ~~r/EarthPorn~~ EDIT: ~~oh and ~~r/UsabilityPorn~~ https://old.reddit.com/r/UsabilityPorn/~~
That's about it for one's I know of at least, that aren't either hyper specific obscure or else some degree of NSFW, aside from SnakesWithHats but I actually got that started here. https://lemmy.ml/c/snakeswithhats
EDIT: I actually started a handful of these now, since I wanted to see em here so here's some now.
VoidBunnies GoldenAgeMinecraft UsabilityPorn FarmsofStardewValley Lagoloaf RoomPorn EarthPorn Otterable
EDIT 2: Also a Coreboot page since I didn't see anyone make that surprisingly.
Loseit, maliciouscompliance, skincareaddiction, halloween, horror, ladyboners, Microdosing, workreform, truecrime, movies
I thought about creating loseit, but I'm not up for moderating something like that. I can see it getting hairy quickly.

I think an exodus to a new site allows an interesting opportunity to break from the restriction of traditions and create new communities. There's no reason the 196 clones have to be called '196'! (or worse, '197')
So many, but I understand this is a tiny community in comparison. But content about all areas of 3dprinting, clay modelling, android, cycling, UK based groups, digital art and traditional art, food, football or soccer as some call it, Liverpool FC, much more humour and comedy, gaming from retro to modern, gardening, fungi and mosses, music, photography, retro computing, all aspects of science, UK wildlife and conservation, writing and poetry, etc... I could go on and on ..... I understand some of these are represented here, but they need a boost.
Agreed, UnitedKingdom, UkPolitics, and CasualUk for me.
On a related note, are there any good UK based instances? The only UK one I could find was one for Glasgow.
Yess to more UK stuff. Individual cities, and nationwide news, that isn’t of interest to an international audience but is of interest to a domestic one.
I support anything creative, unfortunately I'm not seeing a lot of that yet. I build models, dioramas, scratch build buildings, etc.
I was tempted to start a general making community where all disciplines of making are supported, but as far as I can see on the app that isn't an option.
