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. [email protected]

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.
There's a ffxiv one on my home instance! Let's see if I can write a link to it. [email protected]
Hope that helps!
I'm a sucker at using the kbin / Lemmy search. I am still looking for these communities:
/r/atbge
/r/justfuckmyshitup
/r/catsareassholes
/r/thecatdimension
/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
/r/cologne or / r/koeln
/r/parents or /r/eltern
/r/djs or /r/beatmatch
/r/house or /r/deephouse
There are probably more... If noone knows where these communities exist on Lemmy or kbin, I will create them! Maybe you can help me deciding on which instance it would be best. I can do lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, feddit.de and kbin.
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.
It feels like the mods on the subreddits don't want to switch because that woul mean they might risk not being moderators anymore. Sad to see. Every sub should migrate. The only major thing that makes reddit unique is the awards and customizable avatars which no person over the age of 12 should care about.
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!
If Iβm on Beehaw, how do I subscribe to other websites? Is that possible?
Yup. Thats possible. Just need to search from your original community and subscribe from search results. Its pretty clunky but it works.
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.
A user migrated one, I migrated another. Neither have had activity worth mentioning.
There's a handful of others I used heavily that haven't though. I'm missing r/metalmemes in a bad way lol.
How can I create a community? I am trying to on Lemmy.ml but I keep getting an error βMatch the requested formatβ
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.
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.
It has, but it's quite empty yet. There are some posts, but I can seem to be able to reply sometimes. I use the "Jerboa" app and I get a "language not allowed" error. Anyone knows how to fix this?
I'd like to have a logo edit / sbubby sub.
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.
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 :(
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.
Mainly specific game subs, but I could always make them myself I suppose.
I thought it did, but it is currently bit reposts, I guess that makes sense though.
Itβs been here already. c/fuck_cars
FTFY
(Lemmy uses [email protected] for links, ~~and your instance will interpret it so you stay on your instance~~)
edit: Nvm, apparently links are relative on lemmy-ui? (Is that a security risk?)
Just paste [email protected] into your search bar to go there, regardless of your instance.
