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?
Welcome everyone! Just as a PSA, here’s a cross instance community explorer: https://browse.feddit.de/
I’m trying to be the change I want to see in the world https://lemmy.ml/c/hydrohomies
Most of my intrests are there and have some activity. Mainly the computerstuff and all. But others exist but aren’t active. Take for example kpop, japanese music, horses, the elder scrolls. I wouldn’t mind a community for western style RPGs as those are nearly the only games I play, with a few exeptions. General gaming ones seem too general for me, too little I care about.
I am trying to post here, but also don’t want to spam a community with only my posts and make it looks like some kind of echo chamber. Feels like a delicate balance on the (nearly) inactive ones.
Hi all! I’m a Reddit refugee. This is my first comment here. I think I’m gonna lurk for a while and figure out how this works
Try stuff out. Once it clicks, it’s beautiful. Took me a moment, but now I’m mostly flying.
I’m missing witchesagainstthe patriarchy, mommit, and quilting. Everything else is here and I’m going to get more familiar this weekend and maybe start some groups
I’d love to see WitchesAgainstThePatriarchy again! Looks like communities on Lemmy.ca are fairly easy to create. I’ll play around with it for a bit and see what it’s like.
I created mine at /c/guitars , I’m not sure if the reddit community at large will join though. I’m hesitant to push it anywhere, it feels like sleazy self promotion. I just wanna talk about my hobbies with other hobbyists, and leave all the corporate greed back at reddit.
Yeah, I was quite disappointed to see that most, if not all, subreddits I follow had already shut down on Reddit. I mean, there’s r/learnjapanese, r/fitness, r/iwanttolearn, r/piracy, r/nootropics… I could go on and on. I’m actually considering creating a Lemmy community in place of r/chineselanguage, since I see nothing of the sort has been created yet here. However I’m quite hesitant, since I don’t really have the time nor interest in moderating a community, so… maybe I’ll just wait for someone else to create it instead?
Yes, actually. r/programmerhumor and r/anarchychess although on different instances are just like they were over at reddit.
Can you share the links to those? Thank you
Not sure about chess, but !programmerhumor@lemmy.ml
Yes but there’s only 7 subscribers and I’m the only post :(
Then again it’s a niche community about a fantasy series, I’m not surprised it doesn’t have much going on yet.

For r/soccer there’s !soccer@lemmy.ml although I’m hoping !football@lemmy.ml takes off instead.
It doesn’t look like there’s enough sports related content so something like !sports@beehaw.org might have more engagement.
One has, but there are no posts yet I’ve created another, created a post and am waiting to see if others move over. I plan on giving up modship ASAP because I’m not built for that. Yet another has and there’s a bit of activity.
I’ve wondered how hard it would be to write a bot that, for each new link-post in a particular sub in Reddit, it creates a corresponding link-post in a matching community in Lemmy. Intrinsically I feel like it would be easy, and might make the switch for users from there to here easier as it is already seeded with ‘the content’.
Someone actually did that!

That’s so cool. I might spin up a test community to have a play with that.
Yea I’m considering using it for the two communities I’ve created. But I’m afraid people won’t like it.
Oh, do give it a go, though. It’ll seed the culture on Lemmy until the latter gets going. Like a sourdough.
Will we get in trouble if the bot posts the lemmy generic link to the article on the reddit article once it’s synched it over? It’d let people know when their stuff lands.
I’ve had to change my mindset; if I care about it existing, then I have to be the one who makes it. I’ve already created !smashbros@lemmy.world and I’ve become a mod for !ukcasual@lemmy.world.
Haven’t seen anything CSGO or CSGO2 related yet. :(
I really want a csharp (C#) one. I know there is one but no one has posted there yet. XD And more game/Indie dev.
And something equivalent to the aww subreddit (does anyone know one?).
