I'm genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?

Subs that have good guides and community info

[-] JakeSparkleChicken@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

If you want to see a specific community that doesn't exist, then set it up and post some content! If you want the type of places to hang out that you had on Reddit, you need to create it, nurture it, and grow it. There's no guarantee that Lemmy will be the place to land during the Reddit exodus, but it is a place to land, and a damn fine one at that. Putting my money where my mouth is, if you ever want to talk about calculators head on over to !calculators@midwest.social

I created and mod two subs on reddit, and I'd love to see them make their way over here, but I've had a child since creating those subs, and I just don't think I have the time to do it anymore, sadly. Both subs seem on-board with the blackout on the 12th though, so maybe some of their members will find their way here. Maybe I'll even point them here with a sticky on the 12th...

The NSFW ones.

I should make a whole instance dedicated to that. Alas, I can't afford it and I lack the knowledge.

[-] knova@links.dartboard.social 1 points 2 years ago

I can give you a push in the right direction as long as you are comfortable running commands in a terminal. After the initial 15-30 minutes of technical setup, it becomes easy. But other than that I have no desire to run an NSFW community.

Let me know - I could even set it up w/ you and hand you the keys, per se. I just don’t want lack of tech knowledge to be a barrier to entry for anyone.

[-] raccoon@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

You sound like a pretty great person and I really appreciate the offer. The biggest issue is money sadly, a fedi instance takes a lot of bandwidth and one dedicated to nsfw content will also take a lot of storage, both are things that in a vps would take a good bit of money and I'm already spending some, even if not A LOT, on my raccoonden.moe

The most band and storage heavy part of it is my radio which I host on a raspberrypi along with a mumble server, but there's only so much the poor thing can handle on it's own. Today I installed some neovim plugins and I already noticed using nvim feels a little slower, so I doubt a lemmy instance is a possibility.

[-] knova@links.dartboard.social 2 points 2 years ago

Lemmy is very lightweight in terms of RAM and CPU, but I agree storage would be a primary concern. Bandwidth TBD - I’ve only run my instance for about 24 hours

[-] raccoon@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I wonder if another raspberrypi could handle it all on it's own if it's lightweight. But then again, it might need the same door that goes to the pi I already use and in that case things wouldn't work.

It would be very cool to host it but I think I'm gonna limit myself to modding a sub for something I like.

[-] knova@links.dartboard.social 2 points 2 years ago

Well, whatever you do, what matters is you are here and engaging and building the community. That counts for something.

[-] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Can the images not be hosted on redgifs? Is there an option for external hosting?

[-] jax@lemmy.cloudhub.social 1 points 2 years ago

My understanding is that a lot of VPS hosts have rules against hosting NSFW content, and they have to be strictly moderated (hopefully for obvious reasons…).

[-] MyNameIsIgglePiggle@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm surprised to find there are no adult subs popping up.

I hit up my brother in law who is involved in the adult industry and he is going to spin up an instance that's super ok with adult content in the next day or so.

Let's face it, without porn tumbler disappeared, and I think Reddit will too when it bans anything nsfw

[-] ayye@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Cat communities are definitely a rabbit hole that is fun to go down on Reddit. Sport ones like r/NBA and r/Formula1 are some of my most used subreddits.

  • AskScience
  • AskWomenOver30

  • CozyPlaces
  • crowbro

  • fitness30plus
  • GenX
  • greyhounds and longboyes

[-] leftylibra@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Happy to report that r/menopause has moved to c/menopause@lemmy.world

[-] WandererLagomorph799@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Both are a bit new and I still need moderators given the larger scale, but c/EarthPorn is now here, as is c/personalfinance

[-] autumnplains@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I'd be keen for RStudio!

[-] worldcitizen101@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

I know we're talking about moving away from Reddit but I don't see this on your list and it sounds like it might be a match for your interests --have you taken a look at /r/badwomensanatomy?

[-] klemptor@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Yep, that one's good too!

[-] Fly4aShyGuy@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, definitely personalfinance!

[-] Clav64@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Some music subs I like to peruse like r/Headphones, HeadphoneAdvice, BudgetAudiophile, Vinyl etc. If anyone has some alts to suggest, let me know!

[-] Nightfall74@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Yep +1 for subs like /r/vinyl, /r/audiophile and /r/budgetaudiophile

[-] codebam@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

more animal pic subs

[-] Stweaner@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I'm hoping for more medical communities to pop up. So far I haven't found anything that is like r/medicine, r/residency, or any of the specialty of the research subs on reddit.

[-] xhenon@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I would like to see r/simracing/

[-] fluffy_rabbit@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I’d like to see more fluffy friends! /r/rabbit, /r/furby

[-] robcee@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

games, mechanicalkeyboards, fountainpens, boardgames, music, indiemusic, audio, audiophile, headphones, ....

so many!

edit: photography (how’d I forget that one?)

[-] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I would love for r/synthDIY, r/AskElectronics and r/redneckengineering to move over to lemmy.

I think they would all do quite well here.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

D&D/TTRPG subs like r/DMAcademy, r/3d6, r/Pathfinder2e, r/dndnext, r/dndbehindthescreen, r/dnd, r/dndmaps, etc.

Subs related to specific games I enjoy like r/Stellaris, r/Rimworld, r/crusaderkings, r/citiesskylines, r/slaythespire

Subs where design and cool information that interests me can be shared like r/vexillology, r/history, r/mapporn, r/dataisbeautiful, r/etymology, r/todayilearned, etc.

Neurodivergence spaces like r/Aspergers, r/AutisticWithADHD, and r/autism

Subs built around a certain kind of joke or humour like r/sbubby, r/expanddong, r/Polandball, r/highqualitygifs, etc.

[-] DivergentHarmonics@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Neurodivergence spaces like r/Aspergers, r/AutisticWithADHD, and r/autism
