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?

    Haven’t seen anything CSGO or CSGO2 related yet. :(

    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.

    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.

    I’m hoping for some specific craft communities, but for now it makes sense to huddle together in [email protected]. We do love to show off pics of all our projects though so I expect it won’t be too long before it makes sense to start splitting that up.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Not really, but it’s not overly surprising really.

    Most of my favourite subs are pretty nerdy, niche ones, or kinda based on a stupid joke. So the likes of /headphones /iPod /BicyclingCircleJerk may or may not make it over here.

        It would seem that none of their dental surgeries are doing very well, so they have to actually work rather than fuck about online.

            I won’t feel bad for them. Survival of the fittest, isn’t it? And I, on my new 25k SirVelo am the fittest, as evidenced by all the KOMs I have. (Which is all of them).

            Those KOMs will only be broken by me on next week’s 25k SirVelo.

    I’m a sucker at using the kbin / Lemmy search. I am still looking for these communities:

    /r/atbge
    /r/justfuckmyshitup
    /r/catsareassholes
    /r/thecatdimension
    /r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
    /r/cologne or / r/koeln
    /r/parents or /r/eltern
    /r/djs or /r/beatmatch
    /r/house or /r/deephouse

    There are probably more… If noone knows where these communities exist on Lemmy or kbin, I will create them! Maybe you can help me deciding on which instance it would be best. I can do lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, feddit.de and kbin.

    If anyone misses /r/chapotraphouse they have their own version of Lemmy they have built for the last 3 years which should be back to being federated soon. hexbear.net for anyone interested.

    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
