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 got very lucky, there is a whole instance dedicated to flight simulation and aviation now! lemmyfly.org if anyone is wondering.

My subreddit list on Reddit was quite long, so it'll be a while until I have a comparable list with silly communities.

i'm trying to "migrate" my favorite subs to kbin. i am getting errors... don't know if i've met a limit or if everything is just overloaded rn

edit: after some hours, i'm allowed to make new "magazines" on kbin. god bless

I've got my politics, I've got my world news, techstuff, gaming & memes. I'd like to see picture subs like earthporn more populated. They're currently pretty empty. Also missing content in my regional Austria sub but that will solve itself if the reddit exodus continues.

None of the No Man's Sky subs have shown indications of moving, which bums me out. I'd much rather get my glyphs, neat screenshots, and wild speculation from a forum rather than Discord.

Not really, but it's not overly surprising really.

Most of my favourite subs are pretty nerdy, niche ones, or kinda based on a stupid joke. So the likes of /headphones /iPod /BicyclingCircleJerk may or may not make it over here.

I did that with metalgearsolid though in all honesty if those mods come over hear I'll just make them mods and let them handle it haha. I just wanted to get the ball rolling while the hype train for the remake is going on.

Some have, some haven't.

Two which haven't are /r/sweden and /r/languagelearning hopefully they'll come soon.

FFXIV, most of the writing subs, Another Eden, I don't think FoundryVTT has moved yet, PF2E, there aren't nearly as many cute-animal communities yet, etc.

I follow a lot of niche hobby and some other communities that haven't come over yet.

A couple have started to shuffle on over but not a lot yet.

I also followed a lot (like a serious amount) of art subs that haven't seemed to come over yet. I basically followed most of the "imaginary[insert niche here]" subs.

Maybe some IT meme subs. I feel like those will be on here soon enough.

I also miss my local subs. I live in a midsized city and it's going to take quite a lot of time for it to migrate. I don't want to start it myself because the community is pretty toxic, but it has helpful information. What I'm saying is, I don't want to be a moderator to that community hah.

[–] TeaHands@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

There's !programmerhumor@lemmy.ml to get us started at least

[–] thegiddystitcher@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago

I'm hoping for some specific craft communities, but for now it makes sense to huddle together in !creative@beehaw.org. We do love to show off pics of all our projects though so I expect it won't be too long before it makes sense to start splitting that up.

It would be kinda nice if /aaaaaaacccccccce made it over. I know there's a lgbt on beehaw but it's not quite the same if that makes sense.

Reddit refugee here - just created !modelmakers@lemmy.ml, one subreddit I will miss after leaving Reddit

[–] Andreas@feddit.dk 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The art sharing subreddits like Imaginary Network, /r/awwnime, /r/patchuu, /r/moescape and similar. I want to start an instance that automatically crossposts from those subreddits to the Fediverse, and users here can also contribute with artwork that fits the community's theme. It'll probably fetch the posts through RSS to avoid the API limits, but who knows if Reddit might shut that down too. So I'll have to wait until this API situation stabilizes.

I just subscribed to my local city of /c/Boston - but there are no posts yet. I just really want a space where I can talk about local current events, news, business openings and closures, infrastructure projects, etc.

I also liked going into other city's subs to see what's going on before travelling. In Reddit, they were always great spaces for restaurant recommendations, helpful tips and tricks, tourist traps to avoid, etc.

Not yet, I made a couple for discussions about whiskey and steam remote play (playing steam games on your phone and stuff). I just realized I should post the massive guide I wrote for the latter in the new community!

I would love if people are intrested is post you english mistaks you find and help build out the community. Im still very new to lemmy but have been loving it.

Mechanicalpencils is missing for me. I don't post there much on reddit, but I love lurking there. I hope they migrate.

[–] hydrospanner@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

r/pens and r/fountainpens too!

Like you, I am not terribly active there but I enjoy lurking on both.

Subreddits to discuss certain bands, or games, or tv shows. Yeah sometimes they got repetitive but it was cool to see memes and discussion about specific pieces of media. Even if r/Metallica has a post every day about how St. Anger is underrated. Or the subreddit for Battlefield 1 just complains about certain weapons in a game from 2015.

It has, but it's quite empty yet. There are some posts, but I can seem to be able to reply sometimes. I see "Jerboa" and I get a "language not allowed" error. Anyone knows how to fix this?
