    I miss women centric subs, especially thes ones with a mix of posts that foster discussion, memes, and support such as witchesvspatriarchy

    Best of redditor updates because I want my stories lol

    Specific subs for shows because I like reading episode discussions, often someone catches something I missed that gives more context or they catch clues and foreshadowing. Theories too. Or just seeing if anyone else had same thoughts I did! I think it will be a long time before lemmy is big enough to be close to that, and will probably only be newer shows.

    Also just the sheer volume of content produced every day. I’ll hold strong though and not give reddit any traffic. Reddit was fantastic as a lurker, posting most anywhere large felt like whispering into a void. Lemmy is great for actually participating, I think it will be a long time yet until it’s as fun for lurking.

      Same here - I hope more female-oriented communities get going. WitchesVsPatriarchy, TrollXChromosomes, and all the chaos of the Netflix Cinematic Universe reality shows were a blast on Reddit.

      I have found !witchymemes@lemmy.world so far!

        Thank you that is a great start! I have quite a few saved memes to start contributing as well. It doesn’t seem quite the same so I hope we have something else soon. I would be a terrible mod and still confused by most of this fediverse thing otherwise I would make what I want to see.

      You aren’t the first to mention the women-central communities. I did start !heronebag@wayfarershaven.eu but I’m not sure what else to start and even if I’m the right person to mod it - it would probably need a team. Any ideas or suggestions? What kind of community would you like to visit?

    A lot of the broader interest subs I followed have either migrated over or have local equilvalents.

    I had a couple niche ones I miss. I work in hospitality so talesfromthefrontdesk is definitely one I miss, and I haven’t seen a good version here as of yet.

    Specific game subs are not as popular here yet, but honestly I am not sure how much I really need that. Rimworld is probably the only game I keep coming back to often enough to justify it, and I largely use discord for that. Only thing I use discord for really.

    r/wicked_edge, r/nosurf, r/meditation

    WickedEdge already exists on this platform, but it’s not active and doesn’t have the same community. These niche communities will not be the same as those on Reddit since many of the people are normies and don’t care at all about Reddit’s shitty platform. I would open some communities on my own, but I’m not an expert in these fields, like for example in shaving, and I couldn’t be of any help for other people.

      Yup. The only thing I am still doing on Reddit is following the Ukraine threads. So far the only discussions I’ve found on Lemmy have been about 90% Tankie brain rot.

    Yes, I absolutely loved listentothis. I think it was sort of losing user interaction towards the end but it was so great to comb through previous years to find great music.

    We should definitely get another one up and running!

    I’ll really miss the location specific subreddits, those were super useful when travelling to find stuff only local redditors knew about. It helped get you off the beaten path.

    Health-related communities, particularly those for specific medical conditions. Those are the communities that really become a lifeline for people, help them through diagnoses or just difficult times, and can serve as an excellent resource. I was active on r/diabetes_t1 on Reddit and am trying to get a community started here on Lenny.world (!T1diabetes).

      Same thing for every single-game community. Dota’s deserted. Also things like patientgamers is lowering in activity.

        Most game communities sucked anyway. They just got filled with useless self highlight clips and not actual content.

          Not every community is as garbage as Overwatch’s. Stardew Valley’s and Hollow Knight’s are super chill.

    Some of the smaller subs I used to frequent don’t see as much traffic as I would like. Like cycling and edc. I just have to be the change I want to see. I will I swear, just need to fine some spare time.

      There’s 2 smaller instances specifically for musicians. I would keep an eye on their communities.

      lemmy.studio

      waveform.social

      Both have an Ableton /c, but not much content yet

      yes add to the list: r/musicmaking, r/headphones, r/audiophiles, r/indieheads, r/WeAreTheMusicMakets, r/drumkits, r/bandcamp, r/vintageobsecura and I’ll be the happiest kid lurking around here

        I simultaneously want a headphones comm because I love headphones, and don’t want a headphones comm because I need to stop fucking buying headphones.

      I completely agree. It makes sense though that the first communities are mostly tech-oriented, since the first users who migrated to lemmy was probably tech-oriented.
