I, being someone who works with computers, have had some luck with most of my favorite subs being here already.
Despite that, some of my hobby ones still aren’t here. NFL exists, but it’s the same as nothing so far. Soccer I couldn’t find at first, maybe today it already does? Also, no sign of fantasy football.
I also followed a bunch of History subs, but looks like most people in Lemmy only care about science and technology.
Tell us, what is missing for you?
Welcome everyone! Just as a PSA, here’s a cross instance community explorer: https://browse.feddit.de/
Most of my intrests are there and have some activity. Mainly the computerstuff and all. But others exist but aren’t active. Take for example kpop, japanese music, horses, the elder scrolls. I wouldn’t mind a community for western style RPGs as those are nearly the only games I play, with a few exeptions. General gaming ones seem too general for me, too little I care about.
I am trying to post here, but also don’t want to spam a community with only my posts and make it looks like some kind of echo chamber. Feels like a delicate balance on the (nearly) inactive ones.
I’m trying to be the change I want to see in the world https://lemmy.ml/c/hydrohomies
Yes but there’s only 7 subscribers and I’m the only post :(
Then again it’s a niche community about a fantasy series, I’m not surprised it doesn’t have much going on yet.

I’m going through my backlog rn, recently picked reading back up after college killed my voracious appetite. Currently working through my very first few WH40K books, after that I’ll probably read Dune. I’ve heard good stuff about WoT, how is it? I’ve read some fantasy staples but I’d be lying if I said I was a connoisseur. I just know my teachers in school didn’t like the author.
WoT fans love the series and can make fun of some of the styling.
WoT detractors have obviously read the series judging by their criticism.
It’s kinda addictive. When it’s good, it’s great. When it’s bad, it’s tolerable.
You really want to know what happens next…and at least you’re not starting it before it has been finished. You didn’t want to live through THOSE years.
Overall, I’m a fan. Its a LOT lighter than Dune, which I also like, but for different reasons.
Yes, actually. r/programmerhumor and r/anarchychess although on different instances are just like they were over at reddit.
Can you share the links to those? Thank you
Not sure about chess, but [email protected]
Hi all! I’m a Reddit refugee. This is my first comment here. I think I’m gonna lurk for a while and figure out how this works
Try stuff out. Once it clicks, it’s beautiful. Took me a moment, but now I’m mostly flying.
I’m missing witchesagainstthe patriarchy, mommit, and quilting. Everything else is here and I’m going to get more familiar this weekend and maybe start some groups
I’d love to see WitchesAgainstThePatriarchy again! Looks like communities on Lemmy.ca are fairly easy to create. I’ll play around with it for a bit and see what it’s like.
Haven’t seen anything CSGO or CSGO2 related yet. :(
LGBTQ+ support spaces. Lemmy has some, but not enough.
Not really. My most visited subs on reddit (fuck spez) were Rimworld, Zomboid, Hunt Showdown and various hobby/profession subs (graphic design, illustration, itap, photography). I’m fairly confident a UX/UI sub will pop up sooner rather than later considering how techie Lemmy’s userbase seems to be. Iirc there is a gaming related comm on beehaw, but the odds those three games will be talked about is rather slim.
Edit: also, Swoleacceptance. Recently got back to the gym due to mental health. Was a gym rat years ago but life got in the way.
Upvoted for the “fuck spez”
Not really. It’s incredibly frustrating and I’ve def lost some faith in humanity.
I thought /r/selfhosted would be ready to jump but everyone is like “but there’s no users on lemmy” and “you’ll split the community” and “we’re going to go dark for two days - that will teach them!”
Consequently there’s been no support for any single refuge.
Additionally people have set up several communities here with similar names in the past but now mods aren’t responding so it’s all a bit of a mess.
I created mine at /c/guitars , I’m not sure if the reddit community at large will join though. I’m hesitant to push it anywhere, it feels like sleazy self promotion. I just wanna talk about my hobbies with other hobbyists, and leave all the corporate greed back at reddit.
I hate to say it but shitposts and circlejerks are a bit part of my reddit browsing to lighten the mood.
Otherwise, trash like terriblefacebookmemes and idiotsincars was great entertainment for some reason…
I don’t know why I am like this.
Edit: to extend on this, seeing a post about some crazy shit play out and then reading everyone react to it is so much fun.
Reddit refugee here - just created [email protected], one subreddit I will miss after leaving Reddit
