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?

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 find there is a tragic lack of transgendercirclejerk here

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

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!

It’s been here already. c/fuck_cars

One of my main subs was /r/cfb, I don't think it has transitioned yet... Hopefully it'll get up and running before football season starts.

Hey fam ,

I created https://lemmydeals.com because most of the reason why I went to reddit was to find deals anyway. Hope you can go take a look!

I'm waiting for someone to re-create r/france here, as it seems you need an engineer degree to understand how to setup your instance :(

[–] klangcola@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In general you don't need to set up your own instance to create a Community /c/France, you can just create it on any existing instance that allows Community creation by users. I notice you're on beehaw who have decided to limit Community creation to Admins for now.

That said, many regional non-english speaking communities have made their own instances (feddit.de, feddit.dk, feddit.ir), maybe it has something to do with limiting language used?

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?

Game specific ones like satisfactory mostly. And AITA is entertaining and infuriating.

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."

We are migrating as we speak onto my local instance, I suspect the larger ones may get overloaded on the 12th

[–] jack@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

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.

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

/r/welding /r/machinists /r/cherokeexj /r/jeep made it though (and some wrangler community... so, yay?)

[–] Cheesewithmold@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Gonna be a long wait until niche communities can even start rebuilding. Probably the worst part about this whole thing.

Looks like it's been here for a while (worldbuilding), just isn't that active.

[–] Acester47@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

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.
