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?

    Yes, actually. r/programmerhumor and r/anarchychess although on different instances are just like they were over at reddit.

    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.

    I wish there was something like AskHistorians but I highly doubt I’ll ever find something that good without a solid moderation team and very strict rules. Feels like it will either be Reddit (and fuck that to be honest) or nothing.

    I still can go through rabbit holes on Wikipedia at least so there’s that.

    Not really. My most visited subs on reddit (fuck spez) were Rimworld, Zomboid, Hunt Showdown and various hobby/profession subs (graphic design, illustration, itap, photography). I’m fairly confident a UX/UI sub will pop up sooner rather than later considering how techie Lemmy’s userbase seems to be. Iirc there is a gaming related comm on beehaw, but the odds those three games will be talked about is rather slim.

    Edit: also, Swoleacceptance. Recently got back to the gym due to mental health. Was a gym rat years ago but life got in the way.

    I hate to say it but shitposts and circlejerks are a bit part of my reddit browsing to lighten the mood.

    Otherwise, trash like terriblefacebookmemes and idiotsincars was great entertainment for some reason…

    I don’t know why I am like this.

    Edit: to extend on this, seeing a post about some crazy shit play out and then reading everyone react to it is so much fun.

    I’m still waiting for an SBC Gaming/handheld community and more fashion communities.

    I would start them myself but ive been super busy recently :(

    Not really. It’s incredibly frustrating and I’ve def lost some faith in humanity.

    I thought /r/selfhosted would be ready to jump but everyone is like “but there’s no users on lemmy” and “you’ll split the community” and “we’re going to go dark for two days - that will teach them!”

    Consequently there’s been no support for any single refuge.

    Additionally people have set up several communities here with similar names in the past but now mods aren’t responding so it’s all a bit of a mess.

    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.
