What communities ("subreddits") would you like to see?
Is there anything you'd like to talk about or share but haven't found a place to do so? What communities (or "subreddits" for all Reddit refugees) would you like to see?
This could be a resource for anyone wanting to start a community and find out what people are looking for, and a place to request a community you just haven't found yet.
My local subreddit, but it will sadly never happen, because the overwhelming majority of users there simply don't care about whatever spez or reddit is doing - they didn't even do the 48h blackout, just complete apathy. Oh well, I'll miss it, but not enough to actually go back there, so it's all good.
That's not happening either - I would not be a moderator or leader of any community even if it was a paid position :)
It's fine though - I can definitely live without it, I'll just need a bit of time to get over the addiction fully - I am surprised at how much I like this place, so it's actually going much smoother than I expected.
I tended to use Reddit for smaller niche communities, many of which I do not see here yet. For example Eldin Ring, Ghost of Tsushima, Hot Sauce, Gifrecipes, Rings of Power, PTCGL. It will be nice when these can be created and have enough people to make it interesting but it's not there yet.
I play a lot of Stardew Valley and I'm going to miss that community, as there sadly doen't seem to be enough interest for it around here. And the jazz-related communities are also inactive.
HobbyDrama. I wouldn’t have anything to contribute so I haven’t started it myself, but I really enjoyed reading the in depth writings about niche hobby blowouts.
The two that I can think of are Justrolledintotheshop and Fitness. I know there are fitness communities, but I miss the Weekly rant, victory posts, and the activity. There was also a circlejerk version of it and I liked lurking there. I understand that the type of person signing up here probably aren’t into some of these things.
I know Justrolledintotheshop didn’t participate in the blackout because it seems like a lot of the posters there didn’t care about the API stuff. They also don’t care about their personal data being harvested, and I’m sure they complain about right to repair and all of that fun stuff too.
Anyways, I always liked the “humorous posts; educational comments” subreddit. Another example would be programmerhumor.
I appreciate the mods for what they do, but I only feel comfortable commenting, lurking, and the occasional posting. Posting content makes me feel too connected to the internet and reminds me to touch grass more often. Hence why I wouldn’t become a mod or create those subs
I keep looking out for the lonely lemming subs but nothing yet. They probably need a particular population size (and mix) before they start working. Same for the random acts subs.
None really, got all my crafts here already and my other account has all kinds of gamedev communities to follow. Now that Star Trek is here and a couple of people have set up Eurovision communities, not to mention UKCasual is here, I'm pretty sorted!
Just need more people to join in with the ones that exist, now.
Sure! [email protected] (Lemmy link) / (Kbin link) has become the most active general gamedev one although there are others, if you visit this one you'll see there's a pinned thread with links to all kinds of related communities you might like. Engine specific ones as well as other general gamedev ones and so on.
I want a kitchen confidential magazine. As a cook, I found a lot of comfort visiting that sub at the end of a long day and seeing everyone else experiencing the same stuff I was. I miss that content
What I liked about reddit was that there was seemingly a sub for everything, no matter how ultra specific. Like r/master returns for vids of dogs happily greeting their owners, or a sub for wolfs eating watermelons etc. As far as I can tell, there are substitutes for the basic, most known subs here but ultra specific stuff lile this will probably take time.
I also miss communities for specific games I play. There are some, but even those are not super active and only for some bigger games.
What would be supper useful though is to have a place where you can ask what communities you could join based on what you want - like r/findareddit (edit: nvm, just found [email protected]!)
i enjoy reading /r/comics. the creators are still posting in reddit so the /c/comics here is not active. Maybe we can create a bot that will scrap data from reddit and post it in lemmy? Just make sure to tag or mention the OC
I'm holding out for a College Football community (or, really, an FCS football community). We're coming up on the season, and I'm gonna miss the shit talking and Game Day threads, not to mention general CFB news and updates.
Terraria, Perfectlycutscreams but that would require video embedding, Minecraft, a lot of the chaotic comedy subs from reddit but again, video embedding. I'm sure there's more but that's what comes to mind right now.
So far a couple of big ones (askreddit) and an unnamed one I used to occasionally go on using teddit on my PC browser are here, but I'm hoping that garfieldminusgarfield and imsorryjohn migrate if they already haven't.
I'm one of those guys that was really sad when WatchPeopleDie closed down. I learned a lot from that sub, and especially just how fragile a human can be...
Probably for the best, I'm sure. I still miss it though. There were some other subs that tried to replicate it, but it was murder after murder etc. WPD was mostly accidents etc
