Not trying to remake it, because i already have a full time job being self employee and having ADHD

I go back to Reddit weekly to check in with r/locksmith, r/lockshop, and r/accesscontrols

There's a wealth of knowledge to pull from there that Lemmy just can't duplicate right now

https://lemmy.world/c/Football@lemm.ee really needs an active user base. It's inherently international and applies to anyone in any country who loves football/soccer. There are so many things going on in the sport at all times of year, not just in season.

Most of the video game subs, BG3 is active enough, but I like Tribes and EvE online and their subs are sorta dead. I know niche titles wont have as much discussion, but representation would be nice.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 15 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Back with newsgroups the general rule was to go from general to specific. You start with a general discussion group and when discussions about video games get annoying you create a games group. If then there are too many Baldur's Gate discussions you create BG. If they are dominated by Baldur's Gate 3 you create a Baldur's Gate 3 group. If everyone is fawning over Withers you create a Withers group which of course will be flooded with discussion about the Withers' tits mod, which shall get its own group.

Meaning you should create a group when demand is there and not the other way around.

I am mainly looking to fill the trans subreddit void! Reddit was a very good place to find other trans ppl and then ask questions and relay stories and such

I need someone to start posting a lot of celebrity snark. Like, low quality mean snark about rich cunts. I in no way will contribute, other than the odd carefully rationed upvote, but I will consume guiltlessly.

Hurry, now.

Well I am hosting the !cocktails@lemmy.world community, we welcome you!

The ones I miss are the local city sub, haircare/curly hair, and the nonsexual nude threads, normal nudes and naked progress, and the draw me nsfw.

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Just subbed, I love a good cocktail. Second that it would be good to have a version of /r/normalnudes on Lemmy.

Not that the subreddit was enormously active, but would love to see more folks over here instead of reddit. Unfortunately I think a lot of that crowd is still stuck on Facebook too, so there’s that.

If this one got more activity, I could stop using Instagram completely (already dumped FB and Reddit).

I would like to see more rpg discussion, I like that the !rpg@ttrpg.network doesn't end-up an D&D community like in the alien website, but I would love to see more than one discussion thread per week.

[–] mrnarwall@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I miss the random passion of /r/CFB. It was great because all of the toxicity normally in sports was gone, and everyone was just enjoying the game and news about their teams. In the off-season people would concoct the most convoluted, elaborate shitpost for why their team is the best. I think my favorite essay was once about how the Alabama Crimson Tide's greatest enemy wasn't any other team, but the full moon, and went into a heavy statistical data dive to demonstrate how the teams few losses (they were seriously on an unprecedented run for over a decade) all came on or around the full moon. That and the team are the Tide, so of course it's the moon.

That type of energy focuses on college football is lacking in Lemmy, and I haven't found something similar here yet

The divisional "(N/Afc East/North/West) memewar" subs too

shitty ask reddit. In this case it's called shitty ask hilarious chaos. We need more quality text shitposting participants.

I wish there was a community for Warhammer Fantasy Role Play (WFRP). Discovered it few years ago and really love the system and the lore is both gritty and ridiculous-over-the-top-fun.

[–] roserose56@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

!watches@lemmy.ml This community was abandoned, until I decided to become mod and give it some life(Guides and posts). There was some activity the past month, still nothing like the subreddit one, and it has 2k subs.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Have you ever considered moving it off lemmy.ml to another instance? Some people avoid lemmy.ml (https://feddit.nl/post/16246531)

Also, feel free to join us on !fedigrow@lemm.ee

[–] roserose56@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yea I know about lemmy.ml, I also heard that they don't like mods from other instances to mod their communities, yet, I was made after requesting it. I could move it yea, will think and do. thanks for the community!

I could post a pocketwatch lol but i cant see myself engaging in much discussion

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Subreddit drama was pretty good for keeping track of drama in the space.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

hope we don't have much drama here yet

[–] hitstun@fedia.io 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

/r/Columbus . !columbus@lemmy.world exists but it never really took off and has been dead for 8 months. I haven't had anything relevant to post there, but if I find something good, I'll post it. !ohio@midwest.social just isn't the same.

Beer stuff... I've added to the 2 groups I've found here. But, a lot more activity would be great.

I still Google with a "Reddit" tag when I'm looking for brewery suggestions in a new area I'm visiting. It's pretty helpful, but, I'd like to lean on the Fediverse more.
