Maybe some IT meme subs. I feel like those will be on here soon enough.
I also miss my local subs. I live in a midsized city and it's going to take quite a lot of time for it to migrate. I don't want to start it myself because the community is pretty toxic, but it has helpful information. What I'm saying is, I don't want to be a moderator to that community hah.
Mechanicalpencils is missing for me. I don't post there much on reddit, but I love lurking there. I hope they migrate.
One of my main subs was /r/cfb, I don't think it has transitioned yet... Hopefully it'll get up and running before football season starts.
Boomer Sooner!
One of my favorite subreddits is r/engrish. Its basically all about funny english mistakes. I couldn't find it anywhere so i just created it here and posted some of my favourites. I would love if people are intrested is post you english mistaks you find and help build out the community. Im still very new to lemmy but have been loving it.
Missing: r/liberalgunowners, r/libertarian without the hard-right Mises Caucus flavor, r/reloading, r/longrange
Happy to see: r/iowa, r/SocialistRA
Happy to not see: r/politics, r/whitepeopletwitter and their... unique dogpiling
I'm waiting for someone to re-create r/france here, as it seems you need an engineer degree to understand how to setup your instance :(
In general you don't need to set up your own instance to create a Community /c/France, you can just create it on any existing instance that allows Community creation by users. I notice you're on beehaw who have decided to limit Community creation to Admins for now.
That said, many regional non-english speaking communities have made their own instances (feddit.de, feddit.dk, feddit.ir), maybe it has something to do with limiting language used?
I mostly used /r/Denmark. Now I use the feddit.dk instance, but it isn't officially supported by the /r/Denmark mods.
r/historymemes for me
So far almost none of mine are on here. May have to change that.
I just started !beatsaber@lemmy.ml hoping to see the Beat Saber subreddit migrate over but I'm not sure of the future direction. Be the change you want to see!
I'm wondering about u/poemforyoursprog. Sam has been a reddit fixture for around a decade now. I remember this one time in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table."
I didn't really have a favourite sub. My reddit activity was mostly in trans spaces, but I've got that covered here on the fediverse, because I admin a trans Hajkey/Calckey instance.
So instead, I find myself using threadiverse communities that I wasn't really active in on reddit
I scanned quickly through the comments here so I may have missed any mentions, if there were any... But my suggestion is: there should be a master/stickied list of equivalent subreddits. So in the future, people can just google [subreddit name] + lemmy (or kbin or beehaw etc etc).
Preferably the same exact subreddit name. Or are those subreddit names owned by Reddit? Can they come after us?
We are migrating as we speak onto my local instance, I suspect the larger ones may get overloaded on the 12th
I think so. Not sure if it's official - as in, done by the mods - but there seems to be a few people over there already! CasualUK over on reddit was my favourite sub, and https://lemmy.world/c/ukcasual seems to be the place to be now on Lemmy.
Game specific ones like satisfactory mostly. And AITA is entertaining and infuriating.
We've got !ukcasual@lemmy.world already which makes me very happy, !gamedev@lemmy.blahaj.zone is taking off nicely, now all I need is Eurovision and fantasy football if anyone has a lead on any such communities.
/r/welding /r/machinists /r/cherokeexj /r/jeep made it though (and some wrangler community... so, yay?)
I'd love to see a Minnesota Vikings subreddit and am thinking about starting one but am intimidated* at being not only a mod but the top mod. I've never been a mod before and don't want to mess it up haha
There's a bunch of creative writing type subreddits that I lurked on; hfy, writingprompts, fanfiction, that sort of thing.
It's not much but it's honest work... I remember finding this sub the first time and was blown away that I wasn't alone! So I started it. !futuramasleepers@thesimplecorner.org
No and I doubt they will, I'll have to look for an alternative to get my mexican memes and news.
Waiting for ShroomScout to bring over Unclebens
Hello fellow rice lover.
Looks like it's been here for a while (worldbuilding), just isn't that active.
