Anyone here wanting to join a sub similar to a Reddit one, but it's not here and you don't want to make it because you don't wanna be in charge?

That was me. I don't really feel like modding. I was offered a few mod spots on reddit over the past 11 years, took up one or two, didn't really enjoy it.

But if everyone feels that way, then lemmy can never reach critical mass. SO i bit the bullet, created a community and hopefully someone will be interested in modding if it ever grows big.

If anyone's interested, I created maliciouscompliance (one of my favorite subs to lurk in). Mostly reposts for now, but OC should trickle in slowly.

Try joining from one of the links below:

Or type the following in the search bar at the top: !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world

Yes. 1000% for some of the NSFW subs I used to enjoy

As a former reddit mod who's made some communities here, so far they are 0% of the work of the reddit ones (not that I was working hard on the reddit communities, I set up automod and let it run). But so far I haven't had to do any mod work here because there's basically no spam and no bots. I'm sure that will change, but I can also just recruit more mods as the communities grow.

I miss my cat subs. The bigger ones like OneOrangeBraincell, StandardIssueCats, and VoidCats.

And some of the specific ones like Sploot, Toolps (reverse of sploot for the unintiated), KittyCankles, ScrungyCat,

NamFlashbacks. Mainly because my I took new pictures of my cats and wanted to post them there.

Yeah, I miss r/Psoriasis, because I have auto-immune, and I miss r/AskDentist and r/AskMechanic and all the learning based subs basically.

They wouldn't let me onto Beehaw with the answer I gave to their question, so I joined the first instance I could find that looked interesting. Now I kind of feel awkward making any new communities that aren't Star Trek related lol.

Yes.. like for Plex, 3d printing and other applications. Support via reddit was best around..

But seeing some new stuff would also be nice...

I miss idiotsincars

I miss r/KitchenConfidential. It was a subreddit for people who work in the food industry. I feel like I've lost my support group.

Just do it anyway and randomly assign people who post there to be mods.

Yes, but then I remember that my account is only 2 days old, and maybe I am just too impatient now.

I started (like 2 hours ago) a Poetry community in my instance. I modded a few microscopic subreddits that never got any traffic, so I'm used to imposter syndrome as a moderator 😥

I made a community for Dads, I was subbed to a few on the R, but didn't see much on Lemmy. If you are a dad and want to contribute to this community, please check it out!

https://lemmy.world/c/dadsonly@lemmy.world

I've been trying to find an alternative to r/AskPsychology anywhere online because I've been trying to find statistics on how likely people with NPD and ASPD are to be abusive and be abused compared to the general population and have had no luck. Asking on places like Quora just results in dipshits and grifters screeching about how people with personality disorders are actual demons from literal hell (and in the latter case, shilling their blog, books, and webinars). ~Cherri

I made a couple communities that I use to love on Reddit. I def don’t want the control but I’m hoping the fact that the communities exist may attract more people and someone may come along who is better suited to run the show

I wanna make original communities here, I also made some reddit sub clones here to give adminship if needed

Yes. In my two or three days, I've considered making multiple, but then I remember I'd be defacto mod, and I calm down. Maybe later, but probably wait for the actual mods of those subs to make the community here.

I have neither the time, nor confidence to mod; but I have wondered if we should make something like a "lemmy wishlist" for communities we'd like to see ported. Seems like a good way for the lemmy community to vote on and discuss communities they'd like to see, and connect to would-be mods

You can find communities here https://browse.feddit.de/

Not all of them on every instances, but it's a good start

Absolutely, yes. There are a decent number of subreddits I enjoyed, but only as a lurker.

.

Yes!! I’m with you, I’m active but not up for modding. Need Tennessee, My regional area, KidsAreFuckingStupid, and WhatCouldGoWrong.

I have the opposite problem. I have a lot of subs to make and I can't figure out which to start with. Or if this is even the server I'm gonna keep, because there's a certain server I instantly discovered I want absolutely nothing to do with.

I reluctantly created a bunch because I want to have those conversations. I figure with time we can always call for volunteers and appointment help as needed. I’m hopeful that moderating a board on Lemmy will require somewhat less effort than Reddit due to the friendlier atmosphere and lower volume.

At least Trees has been created before those surgeons got here.

Yeah, I am absolutely desperate for a German learning sub, but at A1, I am way too new at it to be moderating one

Totally. I suspect though that over time communities will appear for most things.

I'm just making shit I missed. Hope I'm not annoying with it, but it's like if it ain't there, put it there.

I've made- Artist Lounge, Printmaking, Collage

Not because I want to mod (never done it, and I'm autistic so it could end up becoming a nightmare) I just want to see some of my favourite communities on here

Any ex reddit mods of these subs want to re-adopt them, they're welcome to take them off my hands

edit- needed some commas

I’m resisting the urge to recreate r/Peloton (a sub about pro bike racing) before someone uses the name for a community based on those dumb exercise bikes.

I've been waiting for a c/nurses or c/nursing pop up but I dare not want to take the lead on that

I'm waffling on making one for parenting.... Moderating that sounds like a terrible idea though.

Yes, someone do a photography one please, where you can post your photos and talk about it

There was /r/soccerstreams but it was banned, unfortunately. Now it would be a good opportunity to bring it back again.

/r/homeassistant

/r/homelab

/r/pcgaming

/r/smarthome

/r/videosurveillance

God I want a Doctor Who community so bad.

Dragon Age would be great too

I think the trick will be to make more generic subs. There probably aren't enough users to have a dedicated "Zelda Tears of the Kingdom" sub, but "Nintendo" can actually gain traction. Anyone wanting to create a community should see if there's already one that might satisfy the needs.

r/HermanCainAward. All those stories of antivaxxers biting it are cathartic.

I miss my r/LiverpoolFC fam but I don't wanna be a mod. RIP.

I miss /r/CozyPlaces

I keep mulling around the idea of a TV sub to discuss the long list of cozy murder shows I love. Most are on Acorn TV or Britbox for US audiences. I don’t mind helping start discussions and contributing, but don’t want to do it alone. Here are my list of favorites (in no order): Midsomer Murders, Death in Paradise, Brokenwood Murders, Shakespeare and Hathaway, McCormick and Dodds. There are more!

I think having one sub for this type of show could end up being a good start for more subs if one show starts to dominate, but could stay as a hub for those of us who like them all and want to discuss.

I wouldn’t mind starting, but am sporadic in my online time so would want help. Anyone else interested? Any ideas for making it a fun place to hang out and discuss the odd passion for laughing at (totally fictional) murders?

Yes

Fr, r/collapse and r/Genz need to hurry tf up

Yes, I'm going to miss r/VXJunkies

feels, did these kinds of communities before centralization, im pretty physed to run a topical instance. find a small server and make a spot you can put your links for now, eventually there will be community aggregators

I want a video game multiplayer community for the Oceania region. Similar to 4chan's /vm/ board where people post a thread for a specific game and in the comments people organise times to play together.

The reason I dont make it is because I will be the first person and I am not an interesting leader person. I am better when someone else is the organizer and I follow.

I did make a Guinea pig community https://lemmy.nz/c/guineapigs@lemmy.tf I dont want to fill it with pictures of my two guinea pigs and I am also not sure if I can repost stuff from /r/guineapigs

I really want a chainsawman community but I cannot handle that fandom at all

Same but I made a ukulele community because I figure if I want something, it's my job to make it

Definitely, although it's exciting to see new communities popping up.

I'm in a short-term crunch right now and don't have time to start something, but in a week or so I will probably create at least one if no one beats me to it.

I'm not really one who has the inclination to moderate, but I might consider setting up the Lemmy equivalent of r/the_wire if one doesn't come up in the next few weeks.

I've made lotrmemes@midwest.social for those who want it. We just need more posts!

I started a couple of communities as placeholders but don't really have time to mod. There hasn't been any activity yet but if / once people start posting we'll figure it out.

I've only made one community on my instance !hhkb which is a super niche group that I was a part of on reddit.

The subs that I mostly miss are OSCP, navyblazer, and the_pack. I recall seeing that all of these were archived on some site that I don't recall at the moment. I'm sure someone will find a way to import all of that data here sooner or later.

yeah absolutely

I want a sub thats never really existed in any substantial form. There really dont seem to be any solid communities for cartoons that has any decent foot traffic. I still have /co/ bookmarked cuz its the only place on the internet i've seen that will discuss just about any kinda cartoons that are not anime.. Granted that site is full of a bunch of awful people so I dont really engage, but its nice to see an active place where people care about non-anime animated content and I always wanted a sub for it. I actually tried to make one my self but there obviously wasnt enough intrest in it, not really sure how one would grow a sub and didnt really want to put in the work in my self anyway

Forza Horizon video game had a nice community on Reddit, I'd love to have it here

I wanted one for Art but didn't want to be in charge so my husband started it.

I also want to start one for the disease I have but again - don't really want to be in charge of it.

Maybe I think it's going to be more work than it will be?

All the niche home media film label communities like r/Criterion, r/BoutiqueBluRay, r/ArrowVideo, etc.!

Also r/SupermanAndLois

Hope someone can mod a bodyweightfitness community here

I was searching for a sub about Japanese Metal, couldn't find one and made it myself. Maybe, some day, the community will grow enough to hand it over to someone with mod experience, but right now, I don't have anything to moderate anyway, which is cool. Metalheads are civilized anyway ;)

I am on some really tiny subs that I would like to see here. R/biathlon is a big void in my life right now.

I also like to see some of the bigger Subs like 2x chromosomes, troll X chromosomes, and witches versus the patriarchy.

All the niche home media film label communities like r/Criterion, r/BoutiqueBluRay, r/ArrowVideo, etc.!

Also r/SupermanAndLois

The Orville, and its less I refuse to be a mod for it, and more that I do not think that putting it on my instance would be the best place for it . That being said I keep thinking about doing that.

I wouldn't mind starting up something like dankchristianmemes bur don't want to keep the hateful types from trying to colonize it

/c/TitleGore

But really though, are you asking if anyone has any communities they want to make so you can moderate them? I’m so confused

I miss r/singing.

I guess we gotta be the change we want to see. . . https://lemmy.world/c/crafting_fails

Hoping a small business sub pops up soon. I learn so much from that one on reddit

For now, I decided to make it myself. If anything to start gathering the useful resources I learned back on reddit. If anyone later on wants to take over ill happily give them the entire thing cause I dont wanna mod.

I made one, https://lemmy.world/c/crtgaming, because I missed it on reddit and was worried that enough people had the same reservation. I’m hoping that by making it, other people will post there if they hadn’t otherwise been willing to start their own sub.

I’m not interested in moderating, but I’m also hoping that smaller communities like this are simple to mod.

yeah 😭

I want to make a support group for a health condition I have, but idek how moderation works here...

Sorta, Got a bunch of the more niche communities I was in made, with only two exceptions. I believe in being the change I want made, but I"m hardly experienced as a moderator so it's a new adjustment. They're also existing communities so some mods usually have issues with that, though I'm always open to give mod status when relevant.

Yes! I want someone other than me to start a ZeroCovid group here.

I agree. You can always just go for it though, and atleast grab a place holder. Then advertise and hand of the topic to a better qualified team. That's what I did for a lot official gaming discords I set up, but didn't really want to continue moderating.

Maybe c/findacommunity@lemmy.ml would be a good stop.

You are just describing all of us lurkers and occasional commenters

I'm a huge sci-fi fan and love the idea of a sci-fi server with communities for books, tv shows, etc to rehouse places like r/scifi, r/TheExpanse and r/SiloSeries. But as dev as I am I don't fancy running a server and being a super mod.

The world is lacking a space simulation sub in Lemmy.

Yeah there's quite a few niche communities I'd like to have here that aren't around yet, but even if I created them, I don't think we're at a userbase large enough to populate them. They were kinda slow even on Reddit.

you could start the community and then sticky a post asking for mod applications/assistance

yeah absolutely

I still don't get how this works. Are there sub-reddit equivalents? Is there an app I can use to subscribe to feeds or topics across multiple Lemmy servers?

/r/dailyprogrammer New challenges on there pretty much came to a halt. It would be great if it could be archived at least. I would browse through the challenges and pick one out.

This is Lemmys biggest downfall.

The whole "instances" and technical terms are confusing my idiot reddit brain

/r/jrpg

badly need one for valorant/competitive valorant

All this made me realize I only used reddit to not deal with boredom and having to just sit there alone with my thoughts.

Maybe it is time to start taking mindfulness seriously.

There’s a new subreddit for peri and menopause. It’s called r/menopausemavens

Yeah, the local ones like New Jersey or AITAH, but more importantly AskHistorians, AskScience, badHistory, etc

There’s a new subreddit for peri and menopause. It’s called r/menopausemavens

D

yeah, some of the local ones, like New Jersey and AITAH and askreddit stuff

Is it easy to hand over control to someone else?

I was considering making one for r/airraidsirens, seeing as that's my main hobby with a decent community. But moderating it sounds like it could become a real pain, so I have second thoughts, lol

I miss r/AMD, there's a couple around on here but they're pretty much dead.

Yes

Tbh i'm thinking of making the lemmy version of r/2latinoforyou but i'm terrible at moderating...
