As someone with CPTSD, OCD and Bipolar + psychosis, definetely mental health subs. Particularly suicidewatch.

Ask Historians had so much high quality content and there strict moderating ensured it stayed that wau
Agreed on this, I love AskHistorians and even contributed a few times. I miss it a lot.
Agreed 100%. One of the few subreddits I really miss.
Local ones. My town, my country,…
What are you waiting for?
If they wanted to do that they would have. Most purely aren’t interested in having to moderate and babysit a community for free lol.
For thing there are few moderation tools available on lemmy!
I just wish all the porn was over here.
lemmynsfw alt account + lemmit.online = both reddit and lemmy content
Divorced birds
Yes! They’re just like us (divorced). Except birds.
It looks like the bird’s wearing a tie!! That makes me so happy for some reason.
/r/liberalgunowners is missed. I could chat about guns and simple gunsmithing, see neat stuff I didn’t know about, all without the toxic right-wing boolshit.
We had sane discussions about laws and responsible ownership, stuff like that. People were kind, no judgement, unless one was deliberately argumentative and/or acting a fool regarding safety. Even then, the mods would shut down the trolls (without the banhammer!) and the community would offer advice.
It was really nice.
I miss that one too. Being a liberal gun nerd in Texas is weird. All the gun shops, ranges, and conventions are more about right-wing politics, police worship, and fetishizing the Confederacy than the hobby.
I buy everything online and have a nice FFL who I meet in his kitchen to do the paperwork. Also, I have a couple of acres of my own personal swamp to go shooting, so I avoid all the nuts.
AskLemmyAfterDark - it’s healthy to have a place to have frank discussions about sexual health and safe kinkery.
Various TV Show subreddits…they just haven’t made it over here yet. Personally, I’d love to see a dedicated instance for TV and movies.
There is a lemmy.film instance as I know.
I just checked them out and it seems to be focused on amateur film production and not necessarily on TV shows.
!futurama@lemmy.world is surprisingly active, but that’s of course only one.
To everyone missing a sub: open it on lemmy and be the first!
That just doesn’t work.
There are many subs I wish they were on here and they aren’t even if there is a community called like that, because nobody is there.
Someone starts, others will follow
It really depends on the topic.
I’m really into a niche of a niche subgenre of books. The Reddit community is the best place to find out about new books and hear people talking about them to get a sense if it’s worth your time to read. I used to spend ~5-10 minutes there every day or two to find out about new books.
There just aren’t enough Lemmy users into my favourite sub-subgenre in total, and what really made the Reddit community special was author engagement, which will only happen with thousands of active users. I could put a lot of work into making it, but it’s just not likely to go anywhere and, without authors, won’t be very good anyway.
Hell, even the Parenting community on Beehaw is barely alive, and that’s a huge topic that like a quarter of the population might be interested in, and Beehaw is one of the biggest Lemmy instances.
So… maybe? For mainstream topics, sure, but niche subreddits needed a unique intersection of conditions to thrive, which Lemmy can’t (yet) replicate.
That’s why !christmas@lemm.ee exists! I realize it’s only me for now, but maybe someday I’ll have people join me.
It is hard to just start conversations on your own but it really is kind of how you have to do it.
What would be the argument? The religious side, the gifts, ornaments or…?
I’m not sure why there would be an argument at all? Most Christmas groups talk about food, music, decorations, other traditions…
Not usually a ton of actual arguing.
Why not just take a minute to look at the community?
How do you create a sub?
You click on ‘Create Community’ in the top bar
Oh, I don’t see that, but that’s probably because I’m using boost.
I did, that’s why !amiga@sopuli.xyz exists!
Justrolledintotheshop
Thanks, but the most recent post was 2 months ago.
r/subredditdrama - hands down one of my favourite sources of reddit content. r/drama isn’t my jam, way too much fascist apologia there.
r/printsf exists already but the reddit community is much more active than lemmy, I’m hoping some of the sf/fiction communities on lemmy can rival it at some point.
Regarding 1, there is !fediverselore@lemmy.ca
Subredditdrama was endlessly entertaining
/r/prisonhooch. Fucking hilarious some of the stuff people came up with. One guy made beer out of non-alcoholic beer. Another guy brewed peas into pea-not grigio. There were several people who brewed Powerade into wine. I really miss that subreddit.
whatisthisthing
New guy here. How do I use that?
It should be a clickable link that takes you to the whatisthisthing@lemmy.world community.
On boost it is not, not yet… Which is weird, it should be one of the first features to code when porting to lemmy.
That’s so strange. Sorry to hear that.
(Move to Voyager… :P)
I guessing I should have checked again before posting! Thank you :)
No worries. Discovery of new places is pretty hard and to some extent that’s the purpose of this post anyway.
Even if there is a community, the pool of people providing answers in these sorts of utility subs is going to be a fraction of what it was.
Well, every now and again, someone needs to post on the reddit one saying “look at them misidentifying a thing on Lemmy”.
They’ll either be genuinely helpful types, and join us to help out, or they’ll be “someone is wrong on the internet” types, and join us to be correct.
Obviously I have no idea if this would work in practice.
Lots of game specific subs have virtually no presence here. Makes me sad
/bonehurtingjuice exists on here, but it’s like 1 post a month instead of an endless stream of stupid bullshit humor that hits just right.
I also miss being on a platform that has the community for whatever game I might be playing at the moment, from popular ones to niche-as-fuck. Even CDDA’s subreddit is still more active on reddit than Lemmy.
HobbyDrama and HighStrangeness were insane rabbit-hole subreddits for me. I miss diving in for hours every few weeks and coming out learning a lot about something obscure. Or the wild conspiracy stuff that isn’t alt-right antisemetic garbage.
Edit: a bunch of the figure/collecting subreddits too. Animefigures, Comicbooks, Resinkits, Graphicnovels, even Lego. General collection/hobby-enthusiast groups are something I’d love to see flourish here eventually. There is an ActionFigures community here though!
Edit 2: !HobbyDrama@lemmy.world actually exists!
There is a HobbyDrama community, but it is rather lacking in content at the moment. !hobbydrama@lemmy.world
Omg thanks! For some reason it didn’t come up when I searched earlier but I think I might have left a “Top 12 Hours” filter on in Voyager. Seeing it now though :)
