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?

twobestfriendsplay has begun to spin up, so now all I need is my gacha shit and my TTRPG shit.

I'm looking into Nostr protocol based apps like https://stacker.news and https://coracle.social

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.

Mainly specific game subs, but I could always make them myself I suppose.

Esoteric one for all of you … r/faceting used to discuss faceting gemstones. Also r/gemstones … what can I say it’s a hobby I enjoy. 😁

Not all of them. I might try setting up a fountain pen community some time soon!

[–] worldcitizen101@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, that wasn't there last I checked! I'm so glad the Fediverse is growing so quickly!

[–] CaptainAlchemy@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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'm gonna miss furry_irl tbh. I didnt post that much tbh, but I liked that community. Fortunately there is a furry instance here.

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?).

[–] caffeineplease@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

No, but all things in due time.

[–] Suoko@feddit.it 3 points 1 year ago

Fydeos, chromeos, brunch toolkit, azzurro zcs owners.

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.

No and I doubt they will, I'll have to look for an alternative to get my mexican memes and news.

[–] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 3 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Not really, and I have low hopes of that happening, tbh.

Most communities are very low-tech, so users might have a hard time adapting to the environment.

[–] Admetus@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like for example the default search for communities should be All due to the confusion of search results only popping up with internal instance communities. I worked it out noticing no @ but most newbies will get confused and see jangled messes of community and instance addresses.
