### About Community Tracking and helping #redditmigration to Kbin and the Fediverse. Say hello to the decentralized and open future. To see latest reeddit blackout info, see here: https://reddark.untone.uk/
I miss all my hobby and crafting subreddits lol. Off the top of my head,
Woodworking / Beginners
Sewing / Knitting
Dioramas / Terrain Building
Painting
Survival / Preppers / Camping / OneBag / Travel
Not trying to out myself, but I don't see my Country / Region / City here yet.
Wouldn't mind some health, lifestyle, and research science.
Can we get AskHistorians on here??
I miss some of those, too. OneBag exists, but it won’t be useful till people start to really participate.

If you go up top to Magazines you can search by keyword, which is how I found these.
There are currently some duplicate communities across instances; over time people will settle into one or the other. You can subscribe to any of them, or just the most active one.
AskHistorians will likely need to have a dedicated instance (for verification) and more robust mod tooling than currently exists. It may be a while.
I think the biggest problem I have is that the magazines exist but have little to no activity.
I and a few other posted in /m/motorcycles but I don't think there's been any activity since.
Yeah very true, I think the main reason for this is the ratio of lurkers to contributors has always been so high. So until mags start getting more subscribers things might stay that way.
Although, I've found there was no InternetIsBeautiful mag so I went ahead and made it and have started to post on it when I can, attempting to drive some traffic to it and start some discussions at the very least.
I think we'll need to be the change we want to see and just start posting and commenting as much as possible!
Since Lemmy and Kbin are federating now, maybe you’ll find something in line with what you’re looking for, like maybe https://lemmy.world/c/motorcycles would work for you. :)
Edit: As per notation, [email protected] or @[email protected] should be better formatting.
Interesting, that community doesn't show anything when I browse to it from kbin.
What I'm doing is clicking the magazines button at the top of the kbin page and searching for motorcycles. I see kbin.social/m/motorcycles which is where I've posted and commented. At the end of the search list I see the lemmy.world/c/motorcycles community, but it shows no activity and only 1 subscriber. When I click on it, I get a message saying "The magazine from the federated server may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance."
When I click the link to browse more, it takes me to the actual lemmy.world page where there is a bit of content and I can see that there are roughly 250 subscribers.
Maybe I'm not understanding how federation works, because I was under the impression that I was supposed to be able to interact with communities from lemmy.world (or other federated instances) from within kbin.social. I must be missing something and I consider myself somewhat technical so I imagine this is extra confusing for someone non-technical.
Things have been hit and miss for the last day or so in terms of viewing other communities on other instances. You may find that in a few hours it's showing posts when browsing from kbin, I'm seeing other ones that were empty now starting to show posts and comments.
Maybe there are issues with the data being synced back and forth not happening as expected and what I'm observing is unintended behavior.
I'm quite new to all of this so don't take my word as gospel but I agree with you. Earnest, the 'admin' of this instance has said he's working on getting the stability of kbin taken care of so it's only going to get better as time passes.
It's having an explosion of new users, magazine creation and general activity so it's probably going to take some time to catch up and upgrade accordingly.
Hey I'm new too! We're all figuring this out together, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Dundermifflin!!
While I spent the most time on /r/fantasy, I miss /r/vexillologycirclejerk the most by far
The circlejerk subreddits deserve an entire fediverse instance of their own. Not as a bad thing, but it will concentrate the expertise of meme development in a coherent place that encourages it.
new instance just dropped
no but seriously, I'm not sure if I agree with this. I really enjoyed seeing a post on either /r/vexillology or /r/vcj and then its corresponding post on the other one, especially if it was on /r/vcj first and then trying to figure out where tf it came from. And similar idea with /r/mapporncirclejerk and /r/geography. I think it would be a very different place if it were an entire instance dedicated to memes, and they'd lose their own identity to a large extent (not that they're not all invaded by /r/anarchychess already).
Retroid, or some magazine focused on handheld emulator devices in general.
A handful off the top of my head (not sure if these sub names are case-sensitive in any way or not):
QAnonCasualties
PeopleofWalmart
Engrish
Spokane (the city in WA)
Seattle
Boston
AntifascistsofReddit
Scala
Fsharp
fatlogic
I didn't think to save my subscription list (duh) and I'll be damned if I'm going to log in again to do so. I'm done with Reddit at least until they fire that absolute ass of a CEO and back off on all of his dumbshit money-grubbing schemes. That means 'probably never' and I'm 100% fine with that, fuck them and a hearty hello to the fediverse.

Subreddit names on Reddit are not case sensitive, but magazine names on kbin are. I'm not sure about Lemmy, but I believe they are case sensitive as well.
Kbin has an open pull request to fix the case sensitivity IIRC.
The main focus of the past couple days has just been trying to stop the site from collapsing. ;)
Mountain biking
I miss r/gardening, r/zero waste, multiple subs about the war in Ukraine and some funny ones like AITA
I submitted some roses questions to https://kbin.social/m/Plants and https://kbin.social/m/gardening I have gotten a few responses but nothing like I got from Minnesota gardening back on reddit.
Thanks for the links

Subscribe to all of them, or just the ones which are just the most active.
Over time people will choose one and that'll be the primary one (just like /r/gaming vs /r/Games). The most active are https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] and https://kbin.social/m/[email protected].
I'd love to see r/Marvel and r/DCcomics move over. Maybe some of the smaller ones I follow like r/dreamcast. But it'll take awhile I suppose.
Id love to have aviation related magazines. Also metalmemes or memes in general. Computerscience and programming would also be great. The problem is that im not too happy about the tankie infestation of lemmy an thus I try not to interact with it too much...
I just got into it this past February, but I'm really missing /r/wrc and /r/rally.
Also can't forget /r/Simpsonsshitposting
In the meantime, feel free to contribute to /m/Motorsports.
Honestly my most subs would be finance, stocks technology, it's here but it's pretty small currently. More nice ones. Xreal gardening. My cities.
I don't even know since I've taken everything for granted. Mushrooms uncle Ben's. Zero waste.
I would love to see some of my niche interests like GrandOrder, Chainsawman, and MTG Finance. I would love just silly amusing content to browse basically
Will love to see someone recreated /m/GrandOrder.
Heck I would do it but I stopped playing last year, I just enjoy seeing content ahh
Hahaha, same. Stopped playing the game but still following the content and fandom.
Technical Death Metal would be the one that I really miss.
I spent most of my reddit time on video art subreddits.
Like r/stablediffusion r/curcitbending r/mediasynthesis and most of all r/videosynthesis
m/videosyntesis has been made, but is only me and the mod for now. Hopefully we can get people to migrate in time.
