Welp it’s July 1st, and I actually had to move from lemmy.world over to lem.ee because that instance is being verryyy overloaded right now, lol.
I’m very new to Lemmy too and I already adore it. I’m really hoping to see lots of the Linux related subs become more prominent over here.
r/AskHistorians, r/FrugalFemaleFashion, r/linux_gaming, r/oldhagfashion, r/rabm, r/SkincareAddiction, r/WitchesVsPatriarchy
https://sub.rehab/ has a list of a lot of popular subs that have moved to the Fediverse!
That’s a great website. I wonder what the deal is with all the Discord communities. Not only is Discord horrible for forum based discussion, it’s probably next on this list to do a rug pull on its users.
r/Writingprompts, I loved many of the short stories people posted there.
ShittyFoodPorn, AbandonedPorn, DIWhy, PallasCats, CurlyHair…
I need specialized communities for specific types of cat pictures. The Internet is a series of tubes and they should be filled with cats like they’ve always been.
Also game-specific subs. Those two categories were the majority of my Reddit usage.
Redneck engineering
Boring dystopia, lost generation, anti-money memes, class consciousness memes itp.
Surreal memes, void memes, deepfried surreal memes, 5’th world pics itp.
Furry_irl, yiff
2visegrad4u
I miss starterpacks, Hydro homies and the steam deck subs. Some of these are set up but the communities aren’t very active yet
I know it’s unlikely but ask historians, the moderation required is unreal. More realistic would be bestofredditorupdates for all the mindless drama reading.
Would be nice to have historyporn migrate as well
r/badmovies <- home of truly bad cult films (think movies like The Dirtbike Kid, and not just “I just turned 14 and watched Starship Troopers for the first time and don’t understand satire or who Paul Verhoeven is,” which is what the sub has basically become on reddit over the past 2 years)
r/r9k <- random gay leftist memes
r/animecirclejerk <- Anime is great, but what’s even better than anime is hating anime and the people who watch it for being degenerate pedophiles with poor media literacy (which is what most of them are).
r/trees <- weed lol
r/politics <- so that people who are too young to vote can share their political opinions while skimming the headlines and not reading the articles posted.
r/manga <- specifically links to new one shots and updates on when new chapters have posted, with discussions
r/selfhosted <- this one probably already exists in a few different places, I just need to find it.
r/comicbooks <- so people can complain about comic books while never actually reading any of them
r/todayilearned <- so people can spam mundane trivia from wikipedia you already know
r/amitheasshole <- so people who are assholes can try and convince other assholes online that they’re not the asshole in their relationship.
r/leopardsatemyface <- for schadenfreude
r/EnoughMuskSpam <- a place for people who hate Elon Musk and other annoying billionaires to gather.
r/trees <- weed lol
Also definitely
r/weed <- trees lol
Redneckengineering, unket, middlyinteresring, odly satisfying, swedish problems,
I’d love to see r/techsupportgore, r/spicypillows, and r/redneckengineering
A lot of fandom-specific subs! With the typical main sub/meme sub/nsfw sub trinity, I’ve seen the main subs show up here with minimal activity while the meme and nsfw subs are nowhere to be seen. A lot of the big default subs have come here, but the fandom-based subs just exist as tiny communities with several thousand times less subscribers and nowhere near enough content to regularly show up on my subscribed feed.
I miss:
r/abrathatfits - those folks took it to 11 for helping people find the best fitting bras - no matter your shape, size or orientation.
r/makeupaddiction - as someone who constantly feels like they’re putting on greasepaint and not makeup, the sub was great for helping people get their cosmetics game on
r/skincareaddiction. - a great sub for anyone struggling with skin issues
r/haircarescience - another great sub to help people with all their hair struggles
r/loseit, r/cico, r/1200isplenty, and the more discrete offshoots - great for helping me structure dietary goals.
r/hysterectomy, r/diabetes - because support groups matter (and I didn’t find the Hystersisters very supportive when I first went there, years ago).
r/volumeeating, r/eatcheaply and healthfully - lovely food “hacks”
r/criticalrole (I do hope that we regenerate with Lemmy.world as I believe there is a community of Critters there).
r/aquariums - I used to have an aquarium when I was younger. I always wanted one as an adult, but I have to suffice by living vicariously through other enthusiasts.
r/superbowls - because: owls and because it’s fun to watch the American football enthusiasts get “lost" in January.
There are others (I subscribed to almost 250 subreddits), but I can’t remember them off-hand.
Loved all the circlejerk subs that existed for the communities I liked on reddit, often even moreso than the main sub lol
There’s already some pretty established and active communities over here:
/c/Linux /c/archlinux /c/kde
Nice, I also use archlinux
