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
LGBTQ+ support spaces. Lemmy has some, but not enough.
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.
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.

I’m going through my backlog rn, recently picked reading back up after college killed my voracious appetite. Currently working through my very first few WH40K books, after that I’ll probably read Dune. I’ve heard good stuff about WoT, how is it? I’ve read some fantasy staples but I’d be lying if I said I was a connoisseur. I just know my teachers in school didn’t like the author.
WoT fans love the series and can make fun of some of the styling.
WoT detractors have obviously read the series judging by their criticism.
It’s kinda addictive. When it’s good, it’s great. When it’s bad, it’s tolerable.
You really want to know what happens next…and at least you’re not starting it before it has been finished. You didn’t want to live through THOSE years.
Overall, I’m a fan. Its a LOT lighter than Dune, which I also like, but for different reasons.
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.
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
Missing lots of groups.

Someone posted https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/t/4331/The-growing-list-of-subreddits-going-to-be-dark-but which seems to suggest at least some of these already exist. But when I try to find/subscribe, I get “No results”. I’m trying to find new communities here, is this the right way? https://lemmy.click/search/q/search/type/Communities/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1
I scanned quickly through the comments here so I may have missed any mentions, if there were any… But my suggestion is: there should be a master/stickied list of equivalent subreddits. So in the future, people can just google [subreddit name] + lemmy (or kbin or beehaw etc etc).
Preferably the same exact subreddit name. Or are those subreddit names owned by Reddit? Can they come after us?
Take a look at https://browse.feddit.de/
There’s a auto-updating list showing even the popularity level - helps a ton finding them!
Current communities are popping up like crazy today and the previous couple days, so it’s a bit to keep track of.
There’s a community called New Communities which might be useful for this:
https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities
EDIT, actually Darkfoe’s comment has a much more useful link!
Waiting for the Farming and Gardening subs to move over along with prepping.
Nope, not yet, unfortunately. The majority of them either hasn’t migrated here yet, or has a low amount of subscribers. Hopefully, more of them starts migrating here soon.
The ones I frequently browse that I doubt will migrate here are probably r/characterai, r/choiceofgames, and r/hostedgames.
I haven’t seen r/gamedeals and r/livestreamfail here yet, but their amount of subscribers is pretty high compared to the other subreddit I’ve listed, so I think they’ll probably migrate here soon.
But at least the country I live in has made a community here already. The amount of subscribers is still pretty low, but some people in there have been making a few posts and comments recently, so hopefully it gets more active soon.
I’ve started https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/gamedev (!gamedev@lemmy.blahaj.zone) and it had a much larger influx of members already than I expected. Very nice :)
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?
