Communities for people with rare disorders or illnesses. And plant communities for specific plant groups, so not plants in general. But most of all, i miss the fact that i could search for very specific content to see what creative ideas other people had on how to do certain things. Or people who shared many years of experience and experimenting.

r/WritingPrompts. The !writingprompts@lemmy.ml community here only has a few posts.

I think in general we just need more people… There are communities that exist in Lemmy which are basically empty / inactive that used to be active in Reddit (i.e. Datatabases, Postgresql, FreeBSD subreddits). Perhaps as more people discover Lemmy those smaller / niche communities will see more traffic.

Certain informative, niche communities like /r/neovim, /r/prequelmemes, and er, um /r/sex. I know there are comparable communities here, but the volume is missing. OTOH, everyone is much friendlier here. And, a smaller user base means our comments don’t get buried among thousands. Also, I’m really enjoying new-to-me communities /c/risa.

I miss having large and active subreddits for the sports teams I follow. They were my primary source of news for the teams and games at threads were great.

I miss the idea of /r/outside. A kind of role play in a fun , not too abstract context.

I miss communities that I can ask a question to. When I have a problem with a plant, or a legal issue in Japan, or a question about bike brakes… It’s nice to have someone to talk to about it that knows more than I do.

Centralized tv show discussions with episode discussion threads. That hasn’t happened yet :/

Communities for specific consoles, like r/PS3, r/3DS, r/Vita, very helpful for keeping up to date with new plugins and stuff

The ones here either don’t exist, or do but isn’t active at all

I mostly miss my niche subreddits. If the subreddit only has 20-30 active users, that means 1-2 people hopped to Lemmy who might be interested in it.

Doesn’t seem like there are many economy/financial/stock focused communities here yet

A lot of country- or city-specific subreddits either aren’t on here or are quite inactive. To be honest they were mostly cesspits on Reddit so maybe it’s no bad thing but you occasionally found useful information there.

Other than that, there were a few subreddits that were good for recipe ideas, like /r/EatCheapAndHealthy. /r/ZeroWaste was good too, on occasion.

In general, non-tech related communities don’t seem to have migrated over as much. Most of the subreddits I followed were related to technology in some way and now have pretty active communities on Lemmy.

surreal memes

I don’t miss the exact opposite of a question being posted about five minutes after the preceding post

The sad, basically abandoned subs for tv shows that I never got around to until after they were canceled (shout out to Hello Tomorrow).

Some of the more niche support communities for various reasons, the ones that really only had a dozen or so regs. I hope they’ve found something equivalent to do on the toilet at work.
