Lemmy
Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to [email protected].
If you want to see a specific community that doesn't exist, then set it up and post some content! If you want the type of places to hang out that you had on Reddit, you need to create it, nurture it, and grow it. There's no guarantee that Lemmy will be the place to land during the Reddit exodus, but it is a place to land, and a damn fine one at that. Putting my money where my mouth is, if you ever want to talk about calculators head on over to [email protected]
I would like to see r/simracing/
I'm hoping for more medical communities to pop up. So far I haven't found anything that is like r/medicine, r/residency, or any of the specialty of the research subs on reddit.
more animal pic subs
r/PCMasterRace r/GameDeals r/Fitness r/BuildAPC
Subs that have good guides and community info
Cat communities are definitely a rabbit hole that is fun to go down on Reddit. Sport ones like r/NBA and r/Formula1 are some of my most used subreddits.
Some music subs I like to peruse like r/Headphones, HeadphoneAdvice, BudgetAudiophile, Vinyl etc. If anyone has some alts to suggest, let me know!
Yep +1 for subs like /r/vinyl, /r/audiophile and /r/budgetaudiophile
Here are the ones I'd most like to see:
- AskScience
- AskWomenOver30
- auntienetwork
- CozyPlaces
- crowbro
- EarthPorn
- FinancialIndependence
- fitness30plus
- GenX
- greyhounds and longboyes
- Guitar, JustinGuitar, LearnGuitar, and guitarporn
- hyenas
- menopause
- oldhagfashion
- personalfinance
- PetiteFashionAdvice
- Philadelphia
- rance
- retrofuturism
- RStudio
- ShitAmericansSay
- SimpleLiving
- space
- tattoos
- TeenMomOGandTeenMom2 because I love my stupid guilty pleasure trash TV lol
- TheGirlSurvivalGuide
- xxfitness
- And every single animal subreddit
I know we're talking about moving away from Reddit but I don't see this on your list and it sounds like it might be a match for your interests --have you taken a look at /r/badwomensanatomy?
Yes, definitely personalfinance!
Both are a bit new and I still need moderators given the larger scale, but c/EarthPorn is now here, as is c/personalfinance
I need some more sports communities. NFL, CFB, football/soccer, NBA, MLB, Hockey, etc. A lot of the very niche ones like certain anime (r/onepiece, r/kingdom, r/hunterxhunter) or book (r/asoiaf, r/stormlight_archive) or game (r/deadbydaylight, r/stellaris, r/EU4) probably aren't going to get high enough populations to exist here so i don't expect it. But I need the sport specific ones
I just created a OnePiece community and hope it takes off, too. Help out by discussing and posting, please! :)
D&D/TTRPG subs like r/DMAcademy, r/3d6, r/Pathfinder2e, r/dndnext, r/dndbehindthescreen, r/dnd, r/dndmaps, etc.
Subs related to specific games I enjoy like r/Stellaris, r/Rimworld, r/crusaderkings, r/citiesskylines, r/slaythespire
Subs where design and cool information that interests me can be shared like r/vexillology, r/history, r/mapporn, r/dataisbeautiful, r/etymology, r/todayilearned, etc.
Neurodivergence spaces like r/Aspergers, r/AutisticWithADHD, and r/autism
Subs built around a certain kind of joke or humour like r/sbubby, r/expanddong, r/Polandball, r/highqualitygifs, etc.
Neurodivergence spaces like r/Aspergers, r/AutisticWithADHD, and r/autism
definitled!
add r/HSP
Loseit, maliciouscompliance, skincareaddiction, halloween, horror, ladyboners, Microdosing, workreform, truecrime, movies
I thought about creating loseit, but I'm not up for moderating something like that. I can see it getting hairy quickly.
This might be controversial, but I think the TwoX communities need space here. Don’t make them automatically appear on the front page, and hopefully their creators and moderators have the tools to keep them space but yeah, this site needs spaces like TwoXSex, TwoXChromosomes, TwoXPreppers, Beyondthebump, Mommit, Childfree, etc. I’m new here but didn’t find any of those on initial glance and like a great bar, you need women to show up and be seen/heard. Give them a safe space (see my comment on moderation tools) to transition to and I bet Lemmy would get lots of people to switch.
Also, to echo another person, we need a “master” list of communities, at least the umbrella ones. For instance /plants could be the umbrella for /botany, /trees, /gardening, etc.
Lastly, this site needs porn. Hear me out before you start judging. Nothing drives technology usage like porn. VHS and digital video are both huge because of porn driving widespread adoption. PornHub needs to spin up a server for its infinite catalog which ensures they get paid but also that minors aren’t being exploited.
Oh, feature ~~Request~~ request, some kind of incognito mode in the mobile apps which lets people view NSFW media without it being in their history. Also the app should disable built-in messaging options while in that mode to ensure fewer bad decisions and bad outcomes from accidental texts of disabled midget porn to various contacts. Just an idea I had.
Maybe we can skip naming the women's communities after chromosomes this time around. TheGirlSurvivalGuide is another good subreddit to reference as far as nice women's support content. From what I recall, that support group gained in popularity after TwoXChromosomes was made a default subreddit.
Personally, I could do without the porn. I don't think every website needs to include porn. There are lots of other places to go for that content. So much of it features abuse of women and honestly it's quite refreshing when I find a site that doesn't feature it. I really hate unexpectedly coming across someone choking a woman. I wouldn't mind it so much if the bulk of it was adults actually sharing mutual joy together, but that's not generally how it goes and I hate to see so much suffering and exploitation normalized and spread across so many different places.
As a Transfem individual I didn’t necessarily feel excluded from TwoX, but I could see how other transwomen or AMAB transfem people might feel that way.
Edit: I’d love to see Witches V Patriarchy here too.
I dont know if my niche will quite fit the site yet, but I've followed a lot of animal subs ( crestedgecko, aidke, partyparrot, the twenty thousand cat subs... catsbeingcats of course a favorite ) and also a lot of botany style subs ( botany is the obvious one, houseplants, houseplantcirclejerk, savagegarden, mycology ) and then the unusual to pique interest ( unusualvideos, atbge, designdesign, barbarawalters4scale, hmmmgifs )
Special call out to /todayilearned a /awwducational for giving me fun facts to share with my co workers.
I think if there were master communities it would help appeal to a broad crowd.
I would love for r/synthDIY, r/AskElectronics and r/redneckengineering to move over to lemmy.
I think they would all do quite well here.
very much agree about redneckengineering, I'm missing it so much
Be strong ✊️
All the niche communities. I've been here for a couple months now but boy is that what we need.
niche communities are [both] hard AND easy.
some niche communites have a hard time staying active on ordinary reddit. (so therefore what does that mean for lemmy's sucess rate)
on the otherhand:
reddit nich communites are such a horrific failure , in many cases, that literally one active poster would make lemmy versions massively superior to shitty mainstream reddit.
Have you tried reaching out to them to talk to them about Lemmy?
