Reddit refugees, has your favorite sub migrated already?
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.
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.
I'm missing witchesagainstthe patriarchy, mommit, and quilting. Everything else is here and I'm going to get more familiar this weekend and maybe start some groups
I wish there was something like AskHistorians but I highly doubt I'll ever find something that good without a solid moderation team and very strict rules.
Feels like it will either be Reddit (and fuck that to be honest) or nothing.
I still can go through rabbit holes on Wikipedia at least so there's that.
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.
I just hope Lemmy becomes huge so niche things will start popping up, I miss specifc band and game subs like r/KGATLW and r/factorio for example. Though I have also found the searching of communities across instances to be somewhat unreliable. I'm also hoping for some good meme communities to flourish.
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.
Most of my intrests are there and have some activity. Mainly the computerstuff and all. But others exist but aren't active. Take for example kpop, japanese music, horses, the elder scrolls. I wouldn't mind a community for western style RPGs as those are nearly the only games I play, with a few exeptions. General gaming ones seem too general for me, too little I care about.
I am trying to post here, but also don't want to spam a community with only my posts and make it looks like some kind of echo chamber. Feels like a delicate balance on the (nearly) inactive ones.
Niche anime communities. So far, it's just Bocchi the Rock that has a separate community from the Anime community in lemmy.ml. I need my Re:Zero, KonoSuba, Kaguya-Sama, Classroom of the Elite, Call of the Night etc. I hope with more people coming in, it would been the flourishing of an entire anime ecosystem here in Reddit (probably one instance for anime solely?)
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.
Nope, not yet, unfortunately. The majority of them either hasn't migrated here yet, or has a low amount of subscribers. Hopefully, more of them starts migrating here soon.
The ones I frequently browse that I doubt will migrate here are probably r/characterai, r/choiceofgames, and r/hostedgames.
I haven't seen r/gamedeals and r/livestreamfail here yet, but their amount of subscribers is pretty high compared to the other subreddit I've listed, so I think they'll probably migrate here soon.
But at least the country I live in has made a community here already. The amount of subscribers is still pretty low, but some people in there have been making a few posts and comments recently, so hopefully it gets more active soon.
Also, some niche ones that aren't there yet (AFAIK):
buildapc : PC building help
SavageGarden / carnivorousplants: subs aimed towards tending bug-eating plants
hardwaregore / firmwaregore / softwaregore / technope : subs based around faulty hardware and firmware, sometimes destroyed hardware, or badly designed software
cablefail : pictures of bad cable management and the chaos of cabling in general
itsaunixsystem : sub based on overly fake or wrong tech in the media
PBSOD : faulty kiosks and such displaying error messages in the open
spicypillows / spicybricks : sub based on the pictures of swollen batteries of any kind, with the "bricks" being UPS batteries
dankpods / battrees : Australian youtuber who yells at several portable music gadgets and headphones, the battrees one being pictures of off-brand batteries, mostly PKCell batteries, but can also be several others as well.
techsupportmacgyver : instances of crazy fixes that ended up working
termux : sub for the Termux project
ITRage (likely a replacement for iiiiiiitttttttttttt) : information technology-related rage posts
headphones : not sure if there's a sub there for headphones and IEM related stuff so I guess there could be one.
justrolledintotheshop : automotive repair shop employee's findings when working on vehicles
Another, much more niche music, streaming and TV-related:
kpop : for Korean music news and updates, discussion (with objective viewpoint)
kdrama : news and updates about Korean drama series, reviews, discussion
kdramarecommends : recommendations for Korean drama series
trigger (or maybe studiotrigger) : discussion and updates on anime made by Studio Trigger
webtoons : webtoon series discussion
animemusic : sharing music featured in anime series
This all I could get from the top of my head currently.
r/diwhy was always one of my favorites :,)
also miss r/Phoenix and r/Tempe for getting to find things to do near me. Maybe once that last wave off reddit hits some more Arizonans will catch the drift
I've got my politics, I've got my world news, techstuff, gaming & memes.
I'd like to see picture subs like earthporn more populated. They're currently pretty empty.
Also missing content in my regional Austria sub but that will solve itself if the reddit exodus continues.
I follow a lot of niche hobby and some other communities that haven't come over yet.
A couple have started to shuffle on over but not a lot yet.
I also followed a lot (like a serious amount) of art subs that haven't seemed to come over yet. I basically followed most of the "imaginary[insert niche here]" subs.
None of the No Man's Sky subs have shown indications of moving, which bums me out. I'd much rather get my glyphs, neat screenshots, and wild speculation from a forum rather than Discord.
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.
FFXIV, most of the writing subs, Another Eden, I don't think FoundryVTT has moved yet, PF2E, there aren't nearly as many cute-animal communities yet, etc.
Maybe some IT meme subs. I feel like those will be on here soon enough.
I also miss my local subs. I live in a midsized city and it's going to take quite a lot of time for it to migrate. I don't want to start it myself because the community is pretty toxic, but it has helpful information. What I'm saying is, I don't want to be a moderator to that community hah.
The art sharing subreddits like Imaginary Network, /r/awwnime, /r/patchuu, /r/moescape and similar. I want to start an instance that automatically crossposts from those subreddits to the Fediverse, and users here can also contribute with artwork that fits the community's theme. It'll probably fetch the posts through RSS to avoid the API limits, but who knows if Reddit might shut that down too. So I'll have to wait until this API situation stabilizes.
I'm hoping for some specific craft communities, but for now it makes sense to huddle together in !creative@beehaw.org. 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.
I've had to change my mindset; if I care about it existing, then I have to be the one who makes it. I've already created !smashbros@lemmy.world and I've become a mod for !ukcasual@lemmy.world.
Not yet, I made a couple for discussions about whiskey and steam remote play (playing steam games on your phone and stuff). I just realized I should post the massive guide I wrote for the latter in the new community!
I didn't really have a favourite sub. My reddit activity was mostly in trans spaces, but I've got that covered here on the fediverse, because I admin a trans Hajkey/Calckey instance.
So instead, I find myself using threadiverse communities that I wasn't really active in on reddit
One of my favorite subreddits is r/engrish. Its basically all about funny english mistakes. I couldn't find it anywhere so i just created it here and posted some of my favourites. I would love if people are intrested is post you english mistaks you find and help build out the community. Im still very new to lemmy but have been loving it.
I'm wondering about u/poemforyoursprog. Sam has been a reddit fixture for around a decade now. I remember this one time in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table."
Subreddits to discuss certain bands, or games, or tv shows. Yeah sometimes they got repetitive but it was cool to see memes and discussion about specific pieces of media. Even if r/Metallica has a post every day about how St. Anger is underrated. Or the subreddit for Battlefield 1 just complains about certain weapons in a game from 2015.
I think so. Not sure if it's official - as in, done by the mods - but there seems to be a few people over there already! CasualUK over on reddit was my favourite sub, and https://lemmy.world/c/ukcasual seems to be the place to be now on Lemmy.
I just subscribed to my local city of /c/Boston - but there are no posts yet. I just really want a space where I can talk about local current events, news, business openings and closures, infrastructure projects, etc.
I also liked going into other city's subs to see what's going on before travelling. In Reddit, they were always great spaces for restaurant recommendations, helpful tips and tricks, tourist traps to avoid, etc.
It has, but it's quite empty yet. There are some posts, but I can seem to be able to reply sometimes. I see "Jerboa" and I get a "language not allowed" error. Anyone knows how to fix this?
I'd love to see a Minnesota Vikings subreddit and am thinking about starting one but am intimidated* at being not only a mod but the top mod. I've never been a mod before and don't want to mess it up haha
I mean I mainly spent my time on the UK based subs and we've got United Kingdom and casualuk equivalents here already which is good. They both need a lot more users though.
Mainly what I'm missing are skateboarding, more specific music subs like metal, punk etc., but those will come in time I'm sure.
Nice to be here by the way, still getting used to how the whole fediverse thing works but it seems pretty cool so far!
I scanned quickly through the comments here so I may have missed any mentions, if there were any... But my suggestion is: there should be a master/stickied list of equivalent subreddits. So in the future, people can just google [subreddit name] + lemmy (or kbin or beehaw etc etc).
Preferably the same exact subreddit name. Or are those subreddit names owned by Reddit? Can they come after us?
As a non American user, I recently struck gold finding r/USDdefaultism. It'd be nice if the need for this kind of sub doesn't migrate to Lemmy as well though.
It's not much but it's honest work... I remember finding this sub the first time and was blown away that I wasn't alone! So I started it. !futuramasleepers@thesimplecorner.org
One has, but there are no posts yet
I've created another, created a post and am waiting to see if others move over. I plan on giving up modship ASAP because I'm not built for that.
Yet another has and there's a bit of activity.
I really like the poker subreddit. It's a really strange place, there's always some kind of shit post, tons of sarcasm.. people are dicks to eachother. And yet it can be a very helpful resource when the facade drops and people become genuinely helpful. Also lots of great clips from world poker events. I'm not sure Lemmy is the place for this tbh, there are many other established poker forums.
We've got !ukcasual@lemmy.world already which makes me very happy, !gamedev@lemmy.blahaj.zone is taking off nicely, now all I need is Eurovision and fantasy football if anyone has a lead on any such communities.
One of my most visited lately is for a reality TV show, Vanderpump Rules. It’s not here, but I suspect the crossover between early adopters here on the fediverse and trashy reality TV shows is very low lol.
I just started !beatsaber@lemmy.ml hoping to see the Beat Saber subreddit migrate over but I'm not sure of the future direction. Be the change you want to see!
I'm missing r/Succulents, r/elite Dangerous, r/bisexual and r/watercooling. And r/MTB too. I hope some or all of those come over. Not having r/Succulents is distressing because they are a font of good information on rare plants.
Mostly communities for specific games. Like Destiny, Forza, Deep Rock Galactic, and that taboo anime game. I also miss the fanart communities. Hopefully these will grow here too over time, but who knows.
For the most part yes, I would say anything mainstream is generally made its way to lemmy, however some niche subs like r/hamradio r/gmrs and some gaming subreddits like r/fireemblem and r/finalfantasy seem to be missing. Honestly I'm surprised even 90+% of the communities I follow are on here, I'm quite hopeful that it'll continue to get better.
I think the subs I am going to miss the most are mostly gaming subreddits, I dint have high hopes they'll move. /r/bindingofisaac will be most missed and /r/196 for the hilarity. I am sort of surprised that the list is so small, I feel like reddit communities have been going down in quality faster than usual lately. I like this place and tildes, if it could grow a bit more so 100+ comment threads could happen daily that would be perfect.
My beloved Manchester City (Football / Soccer team)are playing in the UEFA Champions league final tonight, I understand the mods may be a bit preoccupied yet hope the sub makes it over here. Right now though, I doubt there will be any moves yet for atleast a few days.
Not fully. Some are but nothing that I've found like consolerrepair or any of the console hack community's. The main thing I liked from those was the resources you could find from the wikis or from old post.
I’ve found a lot of replacements. There’s just some very niche subreddits that I follow that haven’t had equivalents made yet unfortunately. Also some subs for some of the franchises/properties I like. Those will hopefully get some equivalents soon.
Re Soccer - there's one called Football (soccer). I've literally just joined so need to work out the correct way to link, but will edit in if/when I work it out.
EDIT - don't know if this will work, but here's a link to a thread on there in case you want to join: https://lemmy.world/post/28823
I brought !paintball@midwest.social over, although I'm not expecting a large turnout. While they are participating in the blackout, I don't know that many will seek an alternative and will probably just want to play more...
Not really. I'm mainly waiting for some motorcycle communities, telescope/astrophotography ones, Silmarillion/LOTR/StarWars/StarTrek memes, along with some other minor ones. Some of these technically exist but they are low on member counts FOR NOW, literally growing by the minute though.
Also the search function seems to be a little off so sometimes it doesnt always list the correct number of active users for a community if its a community from an external instance. Also not all communities show up/are indexed quickly. But im sure that will improve relatively quickly
I am still missing r/TrueFilm (in-depth discussions about film) and r/TheOverload (unconventional electronic music). Are there any communities about those subjects yet?
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 quite but slowly either finding people who have or else solving that issue myself. MirrorsEdgeAesthetics isn't working no matter what I try, but just about everything elseiI'm slowly getting started with here, at least for the SFW stuff anyway.
