Which communities you feel lemmy is lacking?
Which communities you feel lemmy is lacking?
as a reddit refugee i mostly use lemmy, but sometimes i go back by a lack of alternative to some subreddit, which one you feel there is a need ?
There are enough communities, there just aren't enough posts and comments.
Most posts on the communities I see are just links with one or two comments.
r/HumansBeingBros is what I miss a lot... or am I missing something...
I look at it as Lemmy isn't large enough to support smaller communities unless they come here as is.
come July 1st, i think you'll find a lot of people making that final push to come over here, try to figure out what the fediverse is, and moderate (or create from whole cloth) the communities they used to have. i certainly don't have the time nor expertise to moderate any community, but i know lots of folks will come over here. July is gonna be huge.
now fix the bot problem and we're gonna be ok.
Something I think is genuinely useful about Reddit that I don't know if Lemmy has replicated yet is the whole genre of "The entire world is here, someone will recognize what you're talking about" subs. What is this thing, what is this bug, tip of my tongue, tip of my joystick, ask historians, ask mechanics...I'm not sure we've established that brain trust here.
I miss some dedicated meme subreddits:
- prequelmemes
- sequelmemes
- lotrmemes
They were always good for a laugh.
Oh! And highqualitygifs.
Intellectually, I think lemmy already has a good grasp on topics...but I do miss the daily video content of r/crazyfuckingvideos, r/publicfreakout, and r/idiotsincars.
For me economics, finance, and investing subs are the ones that I got back for. Other than that most of the subs that I liked are mostly here
I think I've found most of the communities here that I subscribed to when I left reddit. There are a couple I wish were here or more active.
Daddit was a great group of dads that were supportive and welcoming where we could vent, share memes, and just have general discussions about being a dad. They were really welcoming of moms too, as there's not always a dad present for the kids.
Someone did make goblincore, but it’s still mostly empty and I’m not talented enough to contribute lol
I loved looking through all the mossy green nature pics, tiny ecoscapes, mushrooms, frogs, and forest-witch style craftsmanship from people much more creative than myself
If anyone is missing curly hair content, I have a community at !curlyhair@lemmy.world.
Someone did make goblincore, but it’s still pretty empty and I’m not creative enough to meaningfully contribute.
I loved looking through all the happily amateur mossy green nature pics, tiny ecoscapes & terrariums, all the mushrooms, frogs, and foresty crafts & creations from people much more talented than myself.
The issue isn’t that the rooms don’t exist in this house, but more that the smaller niche ones are still just a couple shy people early to the party, waiting for the extroverts to show up lol
/running /bikewrench & /cycling /askscience & /science /autisticwithadhd /onguardforthee /ontario /kingstonontario /ontariogardeners /canadianinvestor /cozyplaces /ifyoulikeblank /notthebeaverton /oddlysatisfying /plantclinic /renovations
Also Select a Set was a very cool little music themed sub that I enjoyed participating in.

/scrungycats!
The average person won't jump through these hoops just trying to subscribe to a community. I can clearly see them on a list, but still not able to join a bunch from my instance (lemm.ee). Are they too small? Nobody from my instance on them? Whatever.
...still waiting for whenthe community to get the ball rolling on Lemmy
L4L (or, R4R). It went private on Reddit and is still dark. Probably not enough users on Lemmy for it to be viable here yet though.
I’m still looking for a true crime / unresolved mysteries community.
Math communities for homework/excercises help.
Specific musician ones. At the moment there's a bunch of Jeff Rosenstock teases happening and right now is when I'd be going to that subreddit to see others discussing them. But it's gone and at the moment there's no replacement.
I also miss the specific opening weekend discussions on r/movies. I think there is a movies community somewhere but I've not seen it pop up on my "active" feed.
Edit: they have been added, I'm thrilled r/lockpicking or room porn if they haven't been added.
Fighting games. I wasn't too surprised not to find communities for specific fighting games (other than Guilty Gear which I don't like) but no general community either?
A non-pornographic femboy and/or femboy discussion community (a pornographic one exists.) I'm still deciding whether I want to go back to Reddit or not and the thing that almost prompted me to go back right then and there was wanting to ask a question about fitting into women's clothes. This I think might be too niche to be useful on anything other than a big site.
prorevenge stories.
Glad that there is already !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world , but there isn't that much content yet.
But at least it exist 😁
The various personal finance related subs. There are some communities with similar names, but the depth of experience is lacking.
I do not miss the circle jerk subs. I admit some were funny, but most were just mean-spirited and ended up becoming worse than whatever it was they set out to make fun of. For example, the books circle jerk sub was full of snobs who snarked at people in the books sub for...gasp... liking popular books.
There's just something inherently pathetic in using a platform to make fun of others on the same platform. It's like going to a dance party solely to stand on the side and make fun of the way people dance.
I hope that sort of thing doesn't catch on here. But the "asshole filter" could creep in if lemmy reaches a high user population.
I used to browse /psychedelicrock , /krautrock and /nearprog fairly often as a source for new music and I haven't found anything to replace them yet.

ramimemes and okbuddychicanary are two i miss
I want even more animals! Rat, rabbit, mouse, everything!
PublicFreakout. I love cringing at the worst people in society
r/writingprompts
DepthHub & RBI were good at times.
Although the obvious answer for me is the already niche subs on Reddit for software/TV shows which have just a few hundred people there. There'd be 10 people at absolute max on here and the community would not last.
Scribus. I still use the open source DTP at work even if I have InDesign installed.
I'm missing pretty much all the "League of Legends Mains" communities, especially ADCMains and SamiraMains. They were one of my absolute go-to subreddits and the only reason I haven't fully deleted my account yet.
Other then that it's mostly niche things, especially very niche wholesome fem-oriented NSFW subs
It's the lack of really small, niche, but still relatively active communities that is the biggest loss for me (so far). For example, I want to to talk about Brentford FC, a tiny English football club which was only promoted to the Premier League a couple of years ago. But we're a million miles away from that when there are exactly two communities for general soccer and one community for Liverpool FC, all three with exactly one subscriber.
Any other Bees fans out there? This Flekken guy seems pretty promising, even if I had hopes for Alban Lafont.
I miss /r/opensuse and an active Java community. There are a few Java communities on several servers, but they are all basically dead.
