I, being someone who works with computers, have had some luck with most of my favorite subs being here already.
Despite that, some of my hobby ones still aren’t here. NFL exists, but it’s the same as nothing so far. Soccer I couldn’t find at first, maybe today it already does? Also, no sign of fantasy football.
I also followed a bunch of History subs, but looks like most people in Lemmy only care about science and technology.
Tell us, what is missing for you?
Welcome everyone! Just as a PSA, here’s a cross instance community explorer: https://browse.feddit.de/
I’m trying to be the change I want to see in the world https://lemmy.ml/c/hydrohomies
Not really. It’s incredibly frustrating and I’ve def lost some faith in humanity.
I thought /r/selfhosted would be ready to jump but everyone is like “but there’s no users on lemmy” and “you’ll split the community” and “we’re going to go dark for two days - that will teach them!”
Consequently there’s been no support for any single refuge.
Additionally people have set up several communities here with similar names in the past but now mods aren’t responding so it’s all a bit of a mess.
Hi all! I’m a Reddit refugee. This is my first comment here. I think I’m gonna lurk for a while and figure out how this works
I wish there was something like AskHistorians but I highly doubt I’ll ever find something that good without a solid moderation team and very strict rules. Feels like it will either be Reddit (and fuck that to be honest) or nothing.
I still can go through rabbit holes on Wikipedia at least so there’s that.
I didn’t think about how sad it will be to lose askhistorians 😞
Even with solid moderation I feel like it’d be harder than for other subs just because you really need to have a decent population of people who really know what they’re talking about for it to work
I suspect that if Reddit got that bad, centralised alternatives such as the Hive would mop up a lot of the userbase. Yes they might not come over to Lemmy, but they could be enticed if Lemmy gets a bit of a split up of beginner/advanced levels of control.
I’m missing witchesagainstthe patriarchy, mommit, and quilting. Everything else is here and I’m going to get more familiar this weekend and maybe start some groups
I’d love to see WitchesAgainstThePatriarchy again! Looks like communities on Lemmy.ca are fairly easy to create. I’ll play around with it for a bit and see what it’s like.
That was always one of my favorites in my reddit feed. I hope atheist some sliver migrates.
Commenting as that was one of my favourite subreddits and would love to join a similar community on Lemmy!
!witches@lemmy.ml is a thing now!
Thank you!! Subscribed!
Yes but there’s only 7 subscribers and I’m the only post :(
Then again it’s a niche community about a fantasy series, I’m not surprised it doesn’t have much going on yet.

I created mine at /c/guitars , I’m not sure if the reddit community at large will join though. I’m hesitant to push it anywhere, it feels like sleazy self promotion. I just wanna talk about my hobbies with other hobbyists, and leave all the corporate greed back at reddit.
Not really. My most visited subs on reddit (fuck spez) were Rimworld, Zomboid, Hunt Showdown and various hobby/profession subs (graphic design, illustration, itap, photography). I’m fairly confident a UX/UI sub will pop up sooner rather than later considering how techie Lemmy’s userbase seems to be. Iirc there is a gaming related comm on beehaw, but the odds those three games will be talked about is rather slim.
Edit: also, Swoleacceptance. Recently got back to the gym due to mental health. Was a gym rat years ago but life got in the way.
I just hope Lemmy becomes huge so niche things will start popping up, I miss specifc band and game subs like r/KGATLW and r/factorio for example. Though I have also found the searching of communities across instances to be somewhat unreliable. I’m also hoping for some good meme communities to flourish.
NFL exists, but it’s the same as nothing so far
Be the change!
Lemmy.ca has a hockey sub now.
Not everybody wants to moderate a community.
Don’t have to moderate, just being active and posting already makes a difference
Yes I know. But there’s a couple of NFL communities already they just need more people actually making content in them
At the same time, some people just wanna lurk. Hell, like 85% of people just wanna lurk.
Totally understandable and fine. But then you can’t complain about there being no content, that’s all.
This is all just part of being an early adopter on a platform that relies on user-generated content.
Yea, not really complaining. I knew there will be stuff that would be missing stuff by adopting it so early.
This post is aimed more to encourage people to do exactly what you said, btw. See shared interests, engage in the same discussions and all.
Absolutely! Didn’t read your post as a complaint I’m just clarifying for the other commenter 🙂
The main problem with recreating /r/NFL is it relies on news from places like Twitter, and the sort of people moving to Lemmy are likely to have also left Twitter…
They’re heeeeeeeere…
I’m really pleased by how many are starting anew on Lemmy. I giggled like a little kid when I saw HydroHomies was already up.
nahh. my favourite subs are the braindead shitposting ones so
Need this
https://sh.itjust.works/c/braindeadmemes brand new, let’s shit some post
Create a community and let’s get to shitposting
LGBTQ+ support spaces. Lemmy has some, but not enough.
