      Please PLEASE get this one up and running! That place is a treasure trove of information. So much so, they should have their own website while maintaining a lemmy domain. That info should be disseminated across multiple platforms so it isn’t lost.

        The mods seem to not like Lemmy specifically but I don’t know what their plan is. It seems like they’re just gonna be in this restricted mode forever. Makes it easier to leave Reddit though.

          Maybe the Ask history mods don’t understand how to use it yet? This platform does take a bit of learning, but every update seems like it increases the end user experience

    I miss women centric subs, especially thes ones with a mix of posts that foster discussion, memes, and support such as witchesvspatriarchy

    Best of redditor updates because I want my stories lol

    Specific subs for shows because I like reading episode discussions, often someone catches something I missed that gives more context or they catch clues and foreshadowing. Theories too. Or just seeing if anyone else had same thoughts I did! I think it will be a long time before lemmy is big enough to be close to that, and will probably only be newer shows.

    Also just the sheer volume of content produced every day. I’ll hold strong though and not give reddit any traffic. Reddit was fantastic as a lurker, posting most anywhere large felt like whispering into a void. Lemmy is great for actually participating, I think it will be a long time yet until it’s as fun for lurking.

      Same here - I hope more female-oriented communities get going. WitchesVsPatriarchy, TrollXChromosomes, and all the chaos of the Netflix Cinematic Universe reality shows were a blast on Reddit.

      I have found [email protected] so far!

        Thank you that is a great start! I have quite a few saved memes to start contributing as well. It doesn’t seem quite the same so I hope we have something else soon. I would be a terrible mod and still confused by most of this fediverse thing otherwise I would make what I want to see.

      You aren’t the first to mention the women-central communities. I did start [email protected] but I’m not sure what else to start and even if I’m the right person to mod it - it would probably need a team. Any ideas or suggestions? What kind of community would you like to visit?

    I just want to see enough folks from some of the gaming communities move over: (Most of these have small communities already, I just want growth!)

    2007scape for the memes

    Satisfactory for the incredible creativity

    Nomanssky for the same reason ^

    Forzahorizon for the weekly challenge discussions and screenshots

    FFXIV for the community ‘vibe’

    Really any game with a fun online community, these are just a few of the ones I enjoy.

    /r/resume was great, as well /r/cscareeradvice, and really any career centric subs. Being able to bounce career questions off of others is an absolute gold mine of information that only serves to forward the field.

      I’d hope they come here but get a refresh. /r/cscareeradvice was basically just a circlejerk of you have to grind leetcode and work at faang or you’re useless.

        Very true, pretty indicative of the whole industry though. I’m glad I’m already in it, especially in a good position as a software engineer, but after $1k spent in certifications, ~600 resumes sent out, and completely revamping my LinkedIn, etc. It almost feels like you really do have to have worked at FAANG as a senior engineer to even be noticed.

        It’s all way too gatekeepy as a whole.

    Slightly related: someone needs to organize a celebrity AMA on Lemmy to let people know that there’s a new sheriff in town (or something like that).

    Non-English subs. They are starting but it will take a while to catch up.

  • RBWells@lemmy.world

    Normalnudes

    IntermittentFasting

    NoSleep

    Written erotica, any of them.

    The general “Music” and “Movie” threads because I did discover stuff on them as well as being able to suggest stuff.

    But have been satisfied with some of these that are still small but growing - curlyhair, science fiction, cocktails (mine now), fermentation and sourdough. And overall happy to give up the faster moving subs and be here for the beginning time.

    Health-related communities, particularly those for specific medical conditions. Those are the communities that really become a lifeline for people, help them through diagnoses or just difficult times, and can serve as an excellent resource. I was active on r/diabetes_t1 on Reddit and am trying to get a community started here on Lenny.world (!T1diabetes).

      Second this! It was great hearing the different treatments people tried, doctor recommendations… having that safe space to feel sorry for oneself about the side effects or symptoms. I could see it happening here when Lemmy grows in numbers a bit.

      Agreed. I found an asthma one so I’m trying to be active there every day. I need to find endometriosis, bunions, gastric surgery 😂. I’m a total crock health wise and these chats help

      Yes! Also kinda related, I liked r/SocialAnxiety and r/Dyslexia. It’s a place where we can go and help/encourage eachother.

      So much this! Plus being able to discuss a free agent pickup or trade. I need that back.

      The other communities i miss were my local state and city.

    The anime and manga communities are totally silent on Lemmy. Would be great if we can have some weeb juice flowing here as well.

    The women’s communities. Everything from trollx to girlgamers to tallgirls

    I also miss femdomcommunity because it’s one of the few sensible kink communities on the internet

      yes add to the list: r/musicmaking, r/headphones, r/audiophiles, r/indieheads, r/WeAreTheMusicMakers, r/drumkits, r/bandcamp, r/vintageobsecura and I’ll be the happiest kid lurking around here

        I simultaneously want a headphones comm because I love headphones, and don’t want a headphones comm because I need to stop fucking buying headphones.

      There’s 2 smaller instances specifically for musicians. I would keep an eye on their communities.

      lemmy.studio

      waveform.social

      Both have an Ableton /c, but not much content yet
