/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 !tabletop@lemmy.ml but not very active so far and not sure if the mod is still around.

MODERATORS
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 !calculators@midwest.social
I created and mod two subs on reddit, and I'd love to see them make their way over here, but I've had a child since creating those subs, and I just don't think I have the time to do it anymore, sadly. Both subs seem on-board with the blackout on the 12th though, so maybe some of their members will find their way here. Maybe I'll even point them here with a sticky on the 12th...
Definitely do a sticky! I'd be doing that for sure if I had your mod powers 😊
r/PCMasterRace r/GameDeals r/Fitness r/BuildAPC
Subs that have good guides and community info
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
- menopause
- oldhagfashion
- personalfinance
- PetiteFashionAdvice
- Philadelphia
- rance
- retrofuturism
- RStudio
- ShitAmericansSay
- SimpleLiving
- space
- tattoos
- 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.
I know we're talking about moving away from Reddit but I don't see this on your list and it sounds like it might be a match for your interests --have you taken a look at /r/badwomensanatomy?
Yep, that one's good too!
I'd be keen for RStudio!

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.
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

Can the images not be hosted on redgifs? Is there an option for external hosting?

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
r/piano r/Ukraine r/linux r/linuxphones r/philosophy r/geopolitics
Some music subs I like to peruse like r/Headphones, HeadphoneAdvice, BudgetAudiophile, Vinyl etc. If anyone has some alts to suggest, let me know!
Yep +1 for subs like /r/vinyl, /r/audiophile and /r/budgetaudiophile
more animal pic subs
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.
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.

This might be controversial, but I think the TwoX communities need space here. Don’t make them automatically appear on the front page, and hopefully their creators and moderators have the tools to keep them space but yeah, this site needs spaces like TwoXSex, TwoXChromosomes, TwoXPreppers, Beyondthebump, Mommit, Childfree, etc. I’m new here but didn’t find any of those on initial glance and like a great bar, you need women to show up and be seen/heard. Give them a safe space (see my comment on moderation tools) to transition to and I bet Lemmy would get lots of people to switch.
Also, to echo another person, we need a “master” list of communities, at least the umbrella ones. For instance /plants could be the umbrella for /botany, /trees, /gardening, etc.
Lastly, this site needs porn. Hear me out before you start judging. Nothing drives technology usage like porn. VHS and digital video are both huge because of porn driving widespread adoption. PornHub needs to spin up a server for its infinite catalog which ensures they get paid but also that minors aren’t being exploited.
Oh, feature ~~Request~~ request, some kind of incognito mode in the mobile apps which lets people view NSFW media without it being in their history. Also the app should disable built-in messaging options while in that mode to ensure fewer bad decisions and bad outcomes from accidental texts of disabled midget porn to various contacts. Just an idea I had.
Maybe we can skip naming the women's communities after chromosomes this time around. TheGirlSurvivalGuide is another good subreddit to reference as far as nice women's support content. From what I recall, that support group gained in popularity after TwoXChromosomes was made a default subreddit.
Personally, I could do without the porn. I don't think every website needs to include porn. There are lots of other places to go for that content. So much of it features abuse of women and honestly it's quite refreshing when I find a site that doesn't feature it. I really hate unexpectedly coming across someone choking a woman. I wouldn't mind it so much if the bulk of it was adults actually sharing mutual joy together, but that's not generally how it goes and I hate to see so much suffering and exploitation normalized and spread across so many different places.
As a Transfem individual I didn’t necessarily feel excluded from TwoX, but I could see how other transwomen or AMAB transfem people might feel that way.
Edit: I’d love to see Witches V Patriarchy here too.
I would love witches v patriarchy too!
I actually have a list of them so just to jot down a few.

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.
Writing Prompts has already been created! I also really wanted to see it here. !writingprompts@lemmy.ml
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

As a professional wrestling fan I want to see squaredcircle and aew official on lemmy
D&D/TTRPG subs like r/DMAcademy, r/3d6, r/Pathfinder2e, r/dndnext, r/dndbehindthescreen, r/dnd, r/dndmaps, etc.
Subs related to specific games I enjoy like r/Stellaris, r/Rimworld, r/crusaderkings, r/citiesskylines, r/slaythespire
Subs where design and cool information that interests me can be shared like r/vexillology, r/history, r/mapporn, r/dataisbeautiful, r/etymology, r/todayilearned, etc.
Neurodivergence spaces like r/Aspergers, r/AutisticWithADHD, and r/autism
Subs built around a certain kind of joke or humour like r/sbubby, r/expanddong, r/Polandball, r/highqualitygifs, etc.
Neurodivergence spaces like r/Aspergers, r/AutisticWithADHD, and r/autism
definitled!
add r/HSP
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.
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.
One for home theaters, and one for audiophiles.
games, mechanicalkeyboards, fountainpens, boardgames, music, indiemusic, audio, audiophile, headphones, ....
so many!
