Just curious. I miss mainly language stuff, some video game communities (like RoN, KCD) and some local communities like for Arabs or Saudis (tbf those were always cesspits but I miss talking to other Arabs on Lemmy)

I’ll try to be the change I want to see. How about you?

    3d communities like blender, vfx were active, I was getting back into webdesign (for local businesses freelancing) so wordpress was interesting (for the drama not helpful lol), comicbooks was wayyy more active there (I stopped reading when reddit permabanned me, i liked discussing with the ppl reccomending me stuff), fantasy for books, all the drug related ones, rave related ones, nootropics, supplements, etc. Adhd and adhdmemes there was good, thats okay here.

        Yeah I just prefer to see posts and comments from ppl who know what they’re talking about, specialists, im a hobby hopper, I never get that far lol, I lose interest and generally never get past intermediate

        Ain’t that the truth, a lot of them partially moved here sadly but it’s easily blockable.

      Niche communities for colonysims, or the communties for the games themselves, that was always divided between there and discord tho, any niche community in general, like valiant comics has a subreddit, robinhobb has one, the cosmere has one, etc.

      It was very effective at keeping me interested in games, like being subbed to tenkaichi 4 is the only reason I remembered the game existed just now opening reddit

        Yeah i missed game communities. I think i’m going to create kingdom come / ready or not comms here, though will there be a lot of users? Probably not.

      Was also getting into dropshipping, reddit helped me remember my hobbies because I get distracted easily but it also constantly gave me new distractions, miss seeing flightsim stuff, hotas, etc. but it was all very repetitive and I dont play flight sims rnow. The indiedev, vrgaming, etc. subreddits were pretty active, ue and unity, all of those types of subs I like there. You constantly see the cool stuff people are working on, it’s motivating.

      Sbcgaming is another good one, would’ve never known android/linux handhelds are so good now.
