Are there any communities you've not yet seen on kbin that you used to visit on Reddit?

Edit: So a lot of people don't know this, you can search for magazines on kbin here - https://kbin.social/magazines

I miss all my hobby and crafting subreddits lol. Off the top of my head,
Woodworking / Beginners
Sewing / Knitting
Dioramas / Terrain Building
Painting
Survival / Preppers / Camping / OneBag / Travel

Not trying to out myself, but I don't see my Country / Region / City here yet.

Wouldn't mind some health, lifestyle, and research science.

Can we get AskHistorians on here??

[-] Sylvestris@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I miss some of those, too. OneBag exists, but it won’t be useful till people start to really participate.

I think the biggest problem I have is that the magazines exist but have little to no activity.

I and a few other posted in /m/motorcycles but I don't think there's been any activity since.

[-] 000@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah very true, I think the main reason for this is the ratio of lurkers to contributors has always been so high. So until mags start getting more subscribers things might stay that way.

Although, I've found there was no InternetIsBeautiful mag so I went ahead and made it and have started to post on it when I can, attempting to drive some traffic to it and start some discussions at the very least.

I think we'll need to be the change we want to see and just start posting and commenting as much as possible!

Since Lemmy and Kbin are federating now, maybe you’ll find something in line with what you’re looking for, like maybe https://lemmy.world/c/motorcycles would work for you. :)

Edit: As per notation, !motorcycles@lemmy.world or @motorcycles@lemmy.world should be better formatting.

Discoverability is lacking atm. But I'm linking people to subs they seem to be looking for, and helping find the places people are looking for will eventually lead to better and better engagement.

Certain magazines/communities are already very active, and finding good threads, if not specific ones, hasn't been hard.

But a lot of them have only just been started, so even with the users on, they havent been found and subbed to, yet.

[-] Ladyface@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

I kind of miss DIWHY, always some good nonsense on there.

[-] katalaree@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Dundermifflin!!

[-] DontMakeMoreBabies@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Combatfootage, NCD, gundeals, and liberalgunowners.

[-] RheingoldRiver@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

While I spent the most time on /r/fantasy, I miss /r/vexillologycirclejerk the most by far

[-] sincle354@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

The circlejerk subreddits deserve an entire fediverse instance of their own. Not as a bad thing, but it will concentrate the expertise of meme development in a coherent place that encourages it.

[-] RheingoldRiver@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

new instance just dropped

no but seriously, I'm not sure if I agree with this. I really enjoyed seeing a post on either /r/vexillology or /r/vcj and then its corresponding post on the other one, especially if it was on /r/vcj first and then trying to figure out where tf it came from. And similar idea with /r/mapporncirclejerk and /r/geography. I think it would be a very different place if it were an entire instance dedicated to memes, and they'd lose their own identity to a large extent (not that they're not all invaded by /r/anarchychess already).

[-] yungsinatra@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Is there no alternative to r/fantasy here? I've been able to find so many books and get many recommendations from there :(

[-] Eggyhead@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Retroid, or some magazine focused on handheld emulator devices in general.

[-] skellener@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Mountain biking

[-] hihusio@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

more fitness and sports related ones

A handful off the top of my head (not sure if these sub names are case-sensitive in any way or not):
QAnonCasualties
PeopleofWalmart
Engrish
Spokane (the city in WA)
Seattle
Boston
AntifascistsofReddit
Scala
Fsharp
fatlogic

I didn't think to save my subscription list (duh) and I'll be damned if I'm going to log in again to do so. I'm done with Reddit at least until they fire that absolute ass of a CEO and back off on all of his dumbshit money-grubbing schemes. That means 'probably never' and I'm 100% fine with that, fuck them and a hearty hello to the fediverse.

[-] BackwardsMonday@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Subreddit names on Reddit are not case sensitive, but magazine names on kbin are. I'm not sure about Lemmy, but I believe they are case sensitive as well.

I miss r/gardening, r/zero waste, multiple subs about the war in Ukraine and some funny ones like AITA

[-] Kierunkowy74@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago
[-] Kobrah@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Legend, thank you. I just realised I can scroll to the bottom of kbin and click all magazines. This help me find some of my Reddit favourites too. Thanks for your help.

[-] dumples@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I submitted some roses questions to https://kbin.social/m/Plants and https://kbin.social/m/gardening I have gotten a few responses but nothing like I got from Minnesota gardening back on reddit.

[-] Kobrah@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the links

[-] EnglishMobster@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Subscribe to all of them, or just the ones which are just the most active.

Over time people will choose one and that'll be the primary one (just like /r/gaming vs /r/Games). The most active are https://kbin.social/m/formula1@lemmy.ml and https://kbin.social/m/formuladank@lemmy.world.

[-] Njs10@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I'd love to see r/Marvel and r/DCcomics move over. Maybe some of the smaller ones I follow like r/dreamcast. But it'll take awhile I suppose.

[-] AngryRoomba@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Id love to have aviation related magazines. Also metalmemes or memes in general. Computerscience and programming would also be great. The problem is that im not too happy about the tankie infestation of lemmy an thus I try not to interact with it too much...

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

IdiotsInCars

[-] FormallyKnown@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I spent most of my reddit time on video art subreddits.
Like r/stablediffusion r/curcitbending r/mediasynthesis and most of all r/videosynthesis

m/videosyntesis has been made, but is only me and the mod for now. Hopefully we can get people to migrate in time.

r/BlackCountryNewRoad

[-] Jojo-Mcfrost572@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly my most subs would be finance, stocks technology, it's here but it's pretty small currently. More nice ones. Xreal gardening. My cities.

I don't even know since I've taken everything for granted. Mushrooms uncle Ben's. Zero waste.

I just got into it this past February, but I'm really missing /r/wrc and /r/rally.

Also can't forget /r/Simpsonsshitposting

[-] VulcanSphere@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In the meantime, feel free to contribute to /m/Motorsports.

[-] Saturdaycat@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I would love to see some of my niche interests like GrandOrder, Chainsawman, and MTG Finance. I would love just silly amusing content to browse basically

[-] VulcanSphere@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Will love to see someone recreated /m/GrandOrder.

[-] Saturdaycat@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Heck I would do it but I stopped playing last year, I just enjoy seeing content ahh

[-] VulcanSphere@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Hahaha, same. Stopped playing the game but still following the content and fandom.

[-] Raffster@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Technical Death Metal would be the one that I really miss.
