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?

    I’m going to miss the mycology sub, haven’t had any luck in finding something similar yet.

    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.

    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.

      Edit- still getting used to this and my search on jerboa isn’t pulling anything for wheeloftime

      I’m going through my backlog rn, recently picked reading back up after college killed my voracious appetite. Currently working through my very first few WH40K books, after that I’ll probably read Dune. I’ve heard good stuff about WoT, how is it? I’ve read some fantasy staples but I’d be lying if I said I was a connoisseur. I just know my teachers in school didn’t like the author.

        WoT fans love the series and can make fun of some of the styling.

        WoT detractors have obviously read the series judging by their criticism.

        It’s kinda addictive. When it’s good, it’s great. When it’s bad, it’s tolerable.

        You really want to know what happens next…and at least you’re not starting it before it has been finished. You didn’t want to live through THOSE years.

        Overall, I’m a fan. Its a LOT lighter than Dune, which I also like, but for different reasons.

    Most of my intrests are there and have some activity. Mainly the computerstuff and all. But others exist but aren’t active. Take for example kpop, japanese music, horses, the elder scrolls. I wouldn’t mind a community for western style RPGs as those are nearly the only games I play, with a few exeptions. General gaming ones seem too general for me, too little I care about.

    I am trying to post here, but also don’t want to spam a community with only my posts and make it looks like some kind of echo chamber. Feels like a delicate balance on the (nearly) inactive ones.

    Game-specific subreddits (i.e., LegendsofRuneterra, PathofChampions, CustomLoR, MagicArena, leagueoflegends, starcraft, Factorio, LastEpoch, ftlgame). [email protected] looks good.

    Franchise-specific subreddits like Batman. [email protected] looks good.

    Entertainment (i.e., Showerthoughts, oddlysatisfying, interestingasfuck, DesignDesign, EngineeringPorn, OldSchoolCool).

    Niche art (i.e., PixelArt, RetroFuturism, cassettefuturism, TheNightFeeling).

    I expect the first two categories (where I commented most) to be the slowest to move here.

      I too wish the game specific subs migrated. Like Forza subs

      • r/forza
      • r/ForzaHorizon
      • r/ForzaOpenTunes
        GI subs
      • r/Genshin_Impact
      • r/Genshin_Lore
      • r/GenshinImpactTips Destiny subs
      • r/destiny’s
      • r/DestinyFashion
      • r/DestinyLore
      • r/DestinyMemes
      • r/DestinyTheGame DRG sub
      • r/DeepRockGalactic

      Also miss the anime subs. /c/anime looks like it could grow into r/anime. But others like

      • r/absolutelynotanimeirl
      • r/animeirl
      • r/anime_irl
      • r/Animewallpaper
        don’t have lemmy equivalents at the moment.

    Yeah, I was quite disappointed to see that most, if not all, subreddits I follow had already shut down on Reddit. I mean, there’s r/learnjapanese, r/fitness, r/iwanttolearn, r/piracy, r/nootropics… I could go on and on. I’m actually considering creating a Lemmy community in place of r/chineselanguage, since I see nothing of the sort has been created yet here. However I’m quite hesitant, since I don’t really have the time nor interest in moderating a community, so… maybe I’ll just wait for someone else to create it instead?

    If anyone misses /r/chapotraphouse they have their own version of Lemmy they have built for the last 3 years which should be back to being federated soon. hexbear.net for anyone interested.

      It was spun out from the group behind the Discord that was very active when /r/CTH was shut down. I’d say Hexbear is very different from what /r/CTH was back in the day. You could be a succdem and generally feel at home on CTH, Hexbear tends towards full on ML.

      (I say this as a commie who has been on hexbear since day 1)

        You are definitely correct. I forgot about the discord that was a bridge of sorts. The politics definitely have become more principled hence the shedding of the chapo brand.

    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
