Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.
I'm on fucker with bad sense of humor (and transbian tendencies) so I frequent these on Reddit (and thus would be nice to have them here) r/196 r/traaa r/GaySoundsShitposts r/AnarchyChess r/actuallesbians
Throw in some anarchist communities as a bonus.
Archery is one of the main ones I'm missing. I'd create it myself if I could work out how 🤣
I’d like to see more fluffy friends! /r/rabbit, /r/furby
Games, Archery, Mushrooms, Growing, Synthesizers, Drugs
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.
Looks like there is a todayilearned community !todayilearned@lemmy.ml, but it seems dead at the moment
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.
Grimdank. I don't play it but I love the Warhammer universe.
@fl1ghtless @geomusicmaker +1 for Grimdark, Also a vibrant Ireland community would be great, that's very active on Reddit, I also enjoy the BoardGames and SoloGaming communities
Boardgames for sure. I don't play those either but I am fascinated by them for some reason.
r/selfhosted is an amazing community full of passionate people that live for this type of federated community.
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!
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.
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
Here are a bunch I'd be interested in. Can't create communities on the instance I'm on, but if anyone starts any of these I'd be happy to start participating!
Just realized there are not many I'm that active in haha.
Personal finance and watches.
Exactly my kind of humor and reminds me to add watchescirclejerk as well. No hate, I'm in those subs as well.
All the niche communities. I've been here for a couple months now but boy is that what we need.
niche communities are [both] hard AND easy.
some niche communites have a hard time staying active on ordinary reddit. (so therefore what does that mean for lemmy's sucess rate)
on the otherhand:
reddit nich communites are such a horrific failure , in many cases, that literally one active poster would make lemmy versions massively superior to shitty mainstream reddit.
Have you tried reaching out to them to talk to them about Lemmy?
/r/DestinyTheGame and /r/FFXIV would be nice.
