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?

    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.

    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

    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.

    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, actually. r/programmerhumor and r/anarchychess although on different instances are just like they were over at reddit.

    Yeah, I was quite disappointed to see that most, if not all, subreddits I follow had already shut down on Reddit. I mean, there’s r/learnjapanese, r/fitness, r/iwanttolearn, r/piracy, r/nootropics… I could go on and on. I’m actually considering creating a Lemmy community in place of r/chineselanguage, since I see nothing of the sort has been created yet here. However I’m quite hesitant, since I don’t really have the time nor interest in moderating a community, so… maybe I’ll just wait for someone else to create it instead?

    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 really want a csharp (C#) one. I know there is one but no one has posted there yet. XD And more game/Indie dev.

    And something equivalent to the aww subreddit (does anyone know one?).

    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.
