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.

[-] plum@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

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!

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

/r/resume was great, as well /r/cscareeradvice, and really any career centric subs. Being able to bounce career questions off of others is an absolute gold mine of information that only serves to forward the field.

[-] presumably_wrong@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I'd hope they come here but get a refresh. /r/cscareeradvice was basically just a circlejerk of you have to grind leetcode and work at faang or you're useless.

[-] osmn@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Very true, pretty indicative of the whole industry though. I'm glad I'm already in it, especially in a good position as a software engineer, but after $1k spent in certifications, ~600 resumes sent out, and completely revamping my LinkedIn, etc. It almost feels like you really do have to have worked at FAANG as a senior engineer to even be noticed.

It's all way too gatekeepy as a whole.

[-] Kaymorak@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I just want to see enough folks from some of the gaming communities move over: (Most of these have small communities already, I just want growth!)

2007scape for the memes

Satisfactory for the incredible creativity

Nomanssky for the same reason ^

Forzahorizon for the weekly challenge discussions and screenshots

FFXIV for the community ‘vibe’

Really any game with a fun online community, these are just a few of the ones I enjoy.

[-] Zdvarko@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, Satisfactory for sure and satisfactoryporn for the incredible builds

I haven't seen Photoshopbattles yet in my community perusing. Def one of my faves.

[-] lorax@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

Non-English subs. They are starting but it will take a while to catch up.

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Normalnudes

IntermittentFasting

NoSleep

Written erotica, any of them.

The general "Music" and "Movie" threads because I did discover stuff on them as well as being able to suggest stuff.

But have been satisfied with some of these that are still small but growing - curlyhair, science fiction, cocktails (mine now), fermentation and sourdough. And overall happy to give up the faster moving subs and be here for the beginning time.

[-] NippleFarts@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

For me, sports communities. Game day threads are a blast.

[-] d_cent@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So much this! Plus being able to discuss a free agent pickup or trade. I need that back.

The other communities i miss were my local state and city.

[-] blazarious@mylem.me 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Slightly related: someone needs to organize a celebrity AMA on Lemmy to let people know that there’s a new sheriff in town (or something like that).

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

The women’s communities. Everything from trollx to girlgamers to tallgirls

I also miss femdomcommunity because it’s one of the few sensible kink communities on the internet

[-] Porcupine@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

This! Lemmy feels like such a sausage party right now.

The anime and manga communities are totally silent on Lemmy. Would be great if we can have some weeb juice flowing here as well.

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I miss it too. There is https://lemmy.world/c/cptsd@lemmy.ml

It's not as active, of course, but that will come with time. The best thing you can do is help build the community.

Also, just to throw this out there for anyone who isn't aware; some fine folks have made a site where you can search for communities across all instances. Check it out!

browse.feddit.de

I wish there there were more parenting comms. You have a few low activity general parenting comms and a surprising amount of healthy dad comms (go dads!), but you don't have the break outs. I guess I'll shill my instance where I'm hoping more parents will pop up to

There are some more, but those are the ages I have kids in lol.

[-] Trainzkid@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I don't mean to be a Debbie downer but even I have trouble enjoying Lemmy because of some of it's problems/quirks. I don't think it'll be anywhere near as popular as alternatives with those problems present. I hate it but that's how I feel. I hope it gets better

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).

/r/CombatFootage and specifically the Ukraine War subs.

[-] socsa@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] ruck_feddit@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yes! Those are the only way I've been able to get real-time info!

[-] mr_sparkle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The music production ones r/ableton r/audioengineering r/mixingandmastering r/maschine

[-] sma3in@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

Lemmy needs more comics

[-] void_wanderer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Arts (Printmaking, Graffiti, sculpture, calligraphy, typography, design), and all the SFW porn subs.

Also, I'm really amazed that https://lemmy.world/c/sourdough is already quite active.

[-] lobelia581@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

they do have some good starters in that sub

[-] Ladiira@vlemmy.net 4 points 1 year ago

r/babyelephantgifs

[-] averageshade@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

If there is something you want, create it. Lemmy is new, and there are not a ton of people posting. Someone will need to do it first.

r/hardcore, r/bodybuilding, and r/steroids are the ones I'm missing the most. Instagram is my only source for hardcore punk now. I second r/hiphopheads too! I wish I had the time to moderate so I could start them myself.

[-] nonearther@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

LinkedinLunatics, IAmTheMainCharacter for time wasting

Jobs, UKJobs for job search

Recrutinghell to know I'm not the only one in the hellhole

Soccer (activities are non existent here), BoxOffice, Entertainment, etc. for fun

[-] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I sorely miss /r/PCGaming.

I know there are a few on here and I am going to try to post on them to try to get it going. Still a long way to go though.

It'll take time.

[-] igetzerobread@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

r/therewasanattempt

[-] Dieal@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] ComradeR@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Tip of my tongue.

[-] Jay_RnR@vlemmy.net 3 points 1 year ago

I fail to comprehend why there's no community dedicated to "Rock" music. This network, after all, was named after one of the most iconic rock stars of our era...

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

r/jeopardy, especially if former contestants are involved in the community like they are on Reddit.

[-] garamasala@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

r/intp. Also miss the active python and data analysis subs, I know there are python communities here but they seem quiet.

[-] Porcupine@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

My ultimate guilty pleasure -- gossip and snark communities.

[-] End0fLine@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

I loved AmItheAsshole. I know 99% of them are fake, but it was a great way to pass the time. Though, maybe I need less of that snap-judgement type content in my life.

[-] Anonymoose@infosec.pub 4 points 1 year ago

Towards the end, the ones I read felt blatantly obvious just from the title. "Hey guys I said, "That's not ok!" to my MIL because she drop kicked my toddler in the face for crying, AITA?"
