I've found https://lemmy.ml/c/startrek for you :)
Yes to the language-learning one! I really need to have a space to support my goal of learning German. I'm already really missing that resource that I had on Reddit.
r/france was really fun to hang around for language learning reasons! I loved their sense of humour. Their thread about whether the subreddit should blackout (i.e. strike) over what was going on was absolutely hilarious. It went something like:
Mods: Hey r/france we're wondering whether we should strike on... Redditors: Yes.
Here's one sub I found for mechanical keyboards
I'm starting to quite like this whole fediverse thing. I'm linking one community in one instance in another instance, while accessing all that from a third different instance, and it all works seamlessly
hooray my first federated platform comment, spent over a decade on Reddit and happy something else looks to be growing big enough to be a viable alternative.
I tend to love long form text based subs. Ones I particularly enjoy where I can't currently scratch their respective itch anywhere else on the Internet:
/r/changemyview /r/bestofredditorupdates /r/legaladvice (mainly for the (/r/bestoflegaladvice goodies) /r/bestof /r/maliciouscompliance /r/prorevenge /r/amitheasshole and all of the /r/talesfrom[profession] subs
yeah I know half of these are often glorified fiction writing subs but I enjoy the stories regardless
Recreated maliciouscompliance (one of my favorite communities)! Mostly reposts for now, but OC should trickle in slowly.
Try joining from one of the links below:
/c/maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world
https://lemmy.world/c/maliciouscompliance
Or type the following in the search bar at the top: !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world
r/HobbyDrama. Fantastic reading material when you're bored. I actually still have a backlog of saved posts on Reddit that I want to get through from there (preferably sooner rather than later...).
Camping & Hiking related communities. Kind of hit me this morning that it was a major hole I have not yet filled from my time on Reddit.
I ended up making a community for that here, but I’m not sure if there’s already one out there. https://links.dartboard.social/c/campingandhiking
askhistorians
I would like to make a community for Québec City, bilingual at least
Also
You may have already found these two by now, but just in case, there's a fuck cars community on a couple instances:
https://lemmy.world/c/fuckcars
https://lemmy.ca/c/fuckcars@lemmy.ca
Not what I'm missing but what I've already found that you were looking for:
When I click these links it breaks my Lemmy app and doesn't take me to the destination. Do you have any advice, or maybe an ideal app I should be using?
If you're using jerboa then I'd recommend just going to a web browser and following the links their. Linking throughout the fediverse isn't quite optimal yet. I did hear there was a change proposed to the UI to fix that at least on the web, jerboa would need an update after that I imagine.
My niche hobby and snark communities, like AmericanGirl, FundieSnarkUncensored, DuggarsSnark, and HobbyDrama. I hope to see them resurrected elsewhere with just as good of moderation and communities as they had on Reddit. I know a lot of websites say they don't want drama but a well-moderated drama community is a public service that keeps fights contained.
Sorry, do you mean my username sounds like one from reddit or I spelled the sub wrong? 😅
Oh, no! I hadn't even heard that one, I just came up with a random name.
I was wondering if someone was going to create a good fundiesnark community and if there would be enough interest here to keep it up.
I lurked more than posted on those communities because I've seen how toxic they can easily become and was turned away by some of the drama or when the snark started focusing on personal characteristics but, having been raised fundamentalist, there were also a lot of really relatable threads where others would share similar experiences (and the snark communities were always much more active than the survivor/former communities).
I really wish something like /r/Fitness or /r/Bodyweightfitness could gain traction on here! I miss the daily question threads and discussions about exercises, techniques, routines and things like that.
Kinda dumb but some of the "obscure humor" (for a lack of a better term) subreddits I kinda miss, like r/comedyheaven, r/skamteboard, r/oldpeoplefacebook, etc. The meme communities I've found on the fediverse, while totally fine, don't really scratch the same itch for me lol.
The closest we have seems to be !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
r/politics r/WorldNews r/anime_tiddies
Super niche, but
These would need a separate instance due to NSFW and hosting costs.
There are quite a few furry/yiff art on yiffit.net instance.
But, to view nsfw art on lemmy, afaik, you must log into a lemmy account on an instance that supports nsfw (notably, lemmy.ml doesn't supoort nsfw, but beehaw.org does so you're safe), you also need to enable nsfw in your account settings.
There IS an instance specifically for erotica/NSFW, I believe: https://federotica.com/
That's pretty neat! Thanks for sharing. NSFW in general has so much "inertia" in terms of users. If NSFW migrates elsewhere then that's a sure sign of times changing (IMO).
There's actually multiple: https://lemmynsfw.com
Just jumping in to say I love the username
I miss the r/Aerials subreddit. It was a niche for Aerial arts, like trapeze, silks etc. I would do it but I don't know how. That's the one I miss the most really, since the community is quite small as is, and where I live there's no community at all. I just made another account on Reddit for it a couple of weeks ago.
Other than that, I miss:
I'd love to see some art stuff; some of my favorite subreddits were:
You can subscribe to the main one by using: !worldbuilding@lemmy.ml
I want to know what do you guys think of national/local subreddits? I found it pretty interesting to see the different national subs on Reddit like the German one or the swedish one or the french one, I found that my own nation's sub would sometimes give me information about something before it hit the local news.
We already have some regional instances with the various feddits, so I guess we're covering that niche from that angle. Granted, I don't know of any city-level communities, but lemmy as a whole would need to be bigger for such communities to be really viable.
Some of the ones I’ll be looking for replacements for:
3d6, or equivalent discussion of DND/RPG builds and mechanics.
something like AskHistorians, which I know will be hard to replace considering the verification and moderation around it.
local city subreddits, I really liked having one for my home town or places I might visit.
honestly, I could see Chat taking the place of something like AskReddit.
I did notice someone started nocontract@lemmy.ml.
There's the Lemmy Community Browser, of course. Getting that functionality INSIDE Lemmy should really be high on the to-do list for the devs - that, and making it easier to subscribe to communities that aren't in your instance.
Lemmy or at least Beehaw tends to favour more general communities; I wouldn't mind seeing a general notetaking/pkm/digital garden community where we can share our high-level methods and philosophies without getting too deep into specific software issues.
I created https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/pkms but I honestly don't know what I'm doing yet 😆
Probably niche, but /r/skyrimmods. Nexus is a toxic hellhole, but that sub was relatively chill (although had the occasional bit of drama, admittedly).
Oh, man. Thanks for this. Just subscribed.
DcComics and the marvel subreddit would be my biggest likes to see. I just don't have the knowledge to do it myself otherwise I would.
I'll miss all the "spooky" communities, they are what brought me to Reddit in the first place way (way, way...) back in the day. Nosleep, creepy, aliens, thetruthishere, etc. There's lots of them, of varying quality these days but I regularly enjoyed the discussions and theorizing over the years.
Shout out to unresolved mysteries, that was a long term favorite of mine. At its best it was a respectful and helpful community of true crime researchers working to bring attention to cases. I am truly fascinated in evaluations of cases of misadventure, as well.
I might miss the movie discussions most, though. I love nothing more than picking apart an interesting story and getting under the obvious themes. I would regularly go directly to the official movie discussion threads after watching something I enjoyed, then search posts about it as well. I hope to find others here with the same interest because I'm sure that is something that can continue in the fediverse.
I miss r/Coffee and r/TaylorSwift. Maybe I'll start them and moderate.
twobestfriendsplay, batmanarkham, hydrohomies, me_irl, adhdmeme, all the LoL subs, casual conversation, whowouldwin, repectthreads, handful of specific game subs.
All the spanish speaking subs. I hope that this will be better place to build our corner. Also r/mylittlepony.
I'd like a mobile gaming sub, something for psp, 3ds fans etc
Magic, card tricks, and judo. I didnt participate much but I'd love to see what they would be like in the Fediverse
good ol takeitorcirclejerk
Yep! Guess I can just follow him on Medium..
r/Kitchenconfidential, r/CulinaryPlating, and r/dishwashers.
I miss my work peeps.
bodyweightfitness - it was a great community, but I don't know if it is a great fit here. The community was really supportive of people working on their form for movements and offered great critique without being mean, so that would fit, but it is very fitness focussed and I don't know if that is a good fit.
keto/carnivore/zerocarb/ketoscience - this was a set of communities all centered around the dissemination of information on very low carb eating, low enough to ensure ketosis rather than glucosis for energy. It is interesting to look at the resources they had and what sorts of problems you could solve by searching, but without that long term backlog of other people's problems it would be hard to start up again. Maybe also a single community rather than 4 or more, but I don't know.
I feel like there's a lack of communities dedicated to specific games. Sure, I can see communities for Pokemon and Zelda right now, albeit on lemmy.ml
But somehow, we don't have any major Minecraft communities? I liked the subreddits for modded Minecraft and Hermitcraft. Apart from that, the Terraria sub had its moments as well.
There's !moddedminecraft@sopuli.xyz. It's not massive, but it's a start!
Fighting games/fighting game shitposting
Gamedev
Lancer RPG
-drums -cfb -collegebasketball -state and city subs -THEPACK
thanks for using Leebra!
go to feed...
At first I read "would not like to see replicated" and I almost got upset, haha.
For me:
I definitely second BIFL, Antiwork, and different communities for U.S. states, as I don't often get to connect with other people from Texas on the Fediverse.
