Archery is one of the main ones I'm missing. I'd create it myself if I could work out how 🤣
Games, Archery, Mushrooms, Growing, Synthesizers, Drugs
games, mechanicalkeyboards, fountainpens, boardgames, music, indiemusic, audio, audiophile, headphones, ....
so many!
edit: photography (how’d I forget that one?)
I would love for r/synthDIY, r/AskElectronics and r/redneckengineering to move over to lemmy.
I think they would all do quite well here.
very much agree about redneckengineering, I'm missing it so much
There are some subs that I'd rather see dead, and some that are just amazing, just based on their moderation and communities. r/fantasy is a shining beacon of light in an otherwise dark world, and with it a lot of the sister communities like WoT, Stormlight_archive and similar. They all have a positive feel, including and fair with just enough moderation without becoming heavy handed.
So in a sense it's not so much the content, but rather the community itself that I'd love to see persisting beyond reddit.
SPORTS! The sports subreddits for specific leagues or teams were some of my most visited. I always hated r/NFL though because the mods only really allowed twitter links rather than legit discussion. I'm going to try and be as active as I can in the NFL and NBA communities here, and I might open some for my favorite teams.
This is actually a great opportunity to organically develop communities like r/NBAdiscussion but for other leagues. I always found reddit to be lacking a real football discussion subreddit, and r/NFL had such strict rules you couldn't even talk about relevant topics, such as EA and the NFL exclusive license (any Madden-related post would be auto-removed and told to post on r/Madden), and you also couldn't advertise an NFL discussion based sub anywhere either.
There's got to be an overlap between Lemmy users and sports fans! I can't be the only tech nerd who is interested in the fediverse and also loves American sports!
Agreed. For me it’s motorsports. There’s an existing F1 community but it’s not very active. I’m hopeful that it’ll grow and we’ll see other communities form around it for other sports.
I prefer formuladank personally but idk if I'd be welcome here
Yeah, one of the few things I still use reddit for regularly is NHL discussion. (Go Capitals!) I wish we had communities for that here.
The other subreddits I still use regularly are for specific video games. Some of them really have no hope of making it to lemmy, but I think we could probably fit pokemon discussion and trading stuff here.
I expect a large influx of redditors over the next few months, especially when they kill off old.reddit and the 3rd party apps no longer work. So if you create (if it isn't already created) an NHL and Pokemon community here, I'm sure users will find them and they would become active eventually. We are decently early here in my opinion.
porn subreddit
I imagine that could be quite tricky to moderate, which is most likely why most instances I've seen don't really want to approach that.
There is definitely porn lemmy you might have to join one that allows it because some lemmys don't want to be a part of that
Most of my time on Reddit was spent on r/Rimworld, r/Huntshowdown and r/books. So, those. I'll probably engage on any graphic design and art adjacent subs too, when they pop up.
Edit: actually, I'd like to get something cleared up. Instances are akin to subreddits? Or are multiple boards inside one instance?
Instances are your server, you can think of them as "reddit" individually with their own "subreddits" (I forget what we call them but it isn't sublemmy for some reason, I think it is just "communities").
The difference is that all the different separate "reddits" talk to each other and display posts from all the ones they talk to on the "all" tab. The "local" tab is your instance and it's sub-communities only which seems to be lemmy.ml, but under the "all" tab you'll notice "communities"@beehaw.org as well since they talk to each other, and users from either can see both.
If you're familiar with mastodon, lemmy is like reddit and mastodon had a baby together.
it isn't sublemmy for some reason, I think it is just "communities"
IMO it works to just call them "subs" because you subscribe to them.
I dont know if my niche will quite fit the site yet, but I've followed a lot of animal subs ( crestedgecko, aidke, partyparrot, the twenty thousand cat subs... catsbeingcats of course a favorite ) and also a lot of botany style subs ( botany is the obvious one, houseplants, houseplantcirclejerk, savagegarden, mycology ) and then the unusual to pique interest ( unusualvideos, atbge, designdesign, barbarawalters4scale, hmmmgifs )
Special call out to /todayilearned a /awwducational for giving me fun facts to share with my co workers.
I think if there were master communities it would help appeal to a broad crowd.
