    All the little niche TV subs, there’s a Doctor Who one here, which is soooo much nicer than the reddit one, but I haven’t found any of my other shows. I’d quite like the trashy TV ones cause I joined facebook groups and I want to talk about like, internalised misogyny in Sister Wives, but all the discussions are like “Robyn has a fat bum, hahaha”.

    It doesn’t work that way, sadly. Successful niche communities split off from bigger ones after there is enough shared interest to make the split necessary. Creating a new empty community from nowhere will likely result in its staying empty. That is the state of many niche communities we already have.

      Everybody is obsessed with with copying Reddit here.

      Nobody wants to put in the work to build it organically like Reddit was, they just want to press a button and have a bot “seed” content until poof! There’s a community!

      It just doesn’t, and won’t ever, work that way.

        I don’t necessarily disagree, but Reddit wasn’t all OC at the start, either.

        I guess now there are so many social media sites now that some people spend all their time, to paraphrase Cory Doctorow, cross-posting between 5 sites for Internet points or to build a following. It sucks, but plugging away posting OC will build it up over time.

    I wish there were more philosophy related communities

    /r/weightroom was a great little community and resource with high quality posts for folks interested in weightlifting and getting stronger. It is the community that I miss the most from reddit. It helped me learn how to use barbells, evaluate routines and change my physique dramatically. Literally changed the trajectory of my life

      The Steroid and PED communities were probably the best single source of information for them online. Shame they are also 18+ communities so you cant even lurk them without logging in.

        You know that’s a very good point. I considered doing a cycle and having that information available really gave me the information I needed to make an informed decision. Without it I probably would have done some serious damage

    Sometimes, when I’ve researched something and compiled a ton of useful information about a topic… wish there was a lemmy for that. Kind of the opposite of asklemmy.

      well since this is the highest voted comment (at +11) as of this writing, I created that community. Hopefully some people who have the same interests join along too.

      https://lemmy.world/c/cranetrainexcavators I was going to Call it cranestrainsandexcavatorsandstufflikethat but Lemmy has a silly 20 character limit ;)

        Thats very nice of you :D I will subscribe to it and post as soon as my instance allows again, it has some weird server error that allows me to see posts and comment via the api but not much else

        Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

    British panel shows.

    Listed links to stream episodes of shows like Taskmaster, Have I Got News For You, QI, Would I Lie to You, and 8 out of 9 Cats do Countdown.

    When daily news and life got too grim, it offered 30-60m of just brain dead funny distraction. Now, have to put up with Google and Youtube search bullshit and most of the time they’re wrong.

    Meet your maker game instance. It’s already pretty small on Reddit but would love to see maps over here

    The Bravo/Real Housewives communities have been tempting me lately. I love all the franchises, but I don’t keep up with all the social media drama/ news in between seasons like those fans do. It’s where I got all my scandals and whatnot.

    And also just having a community to chit chat with about the most recent episodes.

    That being said, I deleted my account in July and I’ll not be going back.

    Pathfinder TTRPG. There are plenty of sublemmies (is that what they’re called) for Pathfinder but none of them are active like the Reddit r/Pathfinder. 😢

      Have you tried making threads in the larger games communities in the meantime to see if there are others interested?

        That’s an idea but I didn’t want to be one of those pushy people that use a different distro like a Linux advocate of a specific distro.

        I use Arch, btw. /s 😉
