What Reddit communities do you want most to see "migrate" to Lemmy?
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.
AmitheAsshole. That place provided so much idle entertainment
Disagree, I hope all those creative writing and "I did the sex" subs stay over there.
Very true. https://lemmit.online/c/AmItheAsshole seems to be a relatively up and coming one?
Side question, what's the nomenclature for referencing communities/instances? c/AmItheAsshole@lemmit.online seems a bit wordy, but the most specific
Edit: actually looks to just be bots posting there for now
Prefixing it with an exclamation mark automatically converts it into a link.
r/AskHistorians, r/FrugalFemaleFashion, r/linux_gaming, r/oldhagfashion, r/rabm, r/SkincareAddiction, r/WitchesVsPatriarchy
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
Bestofredditorupdates would be great since they contain all the relevant quotes so you wouldn't need to click back to Reddit.
https://sub.rehab/ has a list of a lot of popular subs that have moved to the Fediverse!
Solid tip, thanks mate!
You're welcome! 🤘
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.
BestofLegalAdvice always had funny commentary on LegalAdvice
HFY. I just love the idea. The genre I guess? I also would love to see the old content archived. There are some treasures in there, I would hate to get lost.
Yeah...hoping something comes out to archive all(?) of reddit and still be easily searchable/linkable if needed.
HFY is a must have!
IdiotsInCars was always an interesting time
That was my favorite sub. Probably the only one I'll actually miss
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.
Would love to see /r/dota2 move, but the mods there are overwhelmingly against it, and the people are split 50/50. !dota2@lemm.ee is almost exclusively populated by me
You're doin' good work B)
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'm honored.
Damn I miss r/math, also there are r/opendirectories and r/datahoarder
Would love if the geopolitics people of anime_titties could move over, a lot of them were supporting the protests and may have considered making the jump. Right now, the only geopolitics community that I have found has 3 subscribers... Also wouldn't mind at some point to have a meta community aggregator like SubredditDrama, HobbyDrama or BestOfRedditorUpdates. It makes for excellent reading material while on the toilet.
https://lemmy.world/c/anime_titties has just under a thousand subscribers
r/Writingprompts, I loved many of the short stories people posted there.
All of them :)
NaturelsFuckingCute.
I need my dose of cuteness every day.
Loved all the circlejerk subs that existed for the communities I liked on reddit, often even moreso than the main sub lol
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.
I'd like to see the smaller fan communities for podcasts populate over here. r/blankies is the one I miss most, but we also need a Futurelings community for Omnibus podcast listeners.
Wallstreetbets
Nah
BlackPeopleTwitter had everything. News, laughs, wholesome stuff.
Book of Norman.
The sub mod got it published and everything. The idea was to write a series of short stories involving the same character. This could easily be done here as well. It's one of the only OC subs that I ever saw. Like the Reddit community managed (without any help from Reddit) to put a book together. I still couldn't find a hardcopy to be delivered, but at least it made me a published author theoretically.
I also miss the makemeavideogame sub, which was only active for a a few months. The idea is great, but extremely difficult to do. It was fun though.
Let's create stuff.. not just links.
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.
Self hosted: https://lemmy.ml/c/selfhost
r/trees <- weed lol
Also definitely
r/weed <- trees lol
I loved The Dirt Bike Kid when I was younger lol
It's a gem of a movie. A wonderful train wreck of a film.
I miss r/VXJunkies and r/ThePack… I saw a community over here called VX Junkies but it seems more about hacking.
DankChristianMemes used to be pretty banger, I'm not sure if Lemmy attracted much of the religious crowd from Reddit though.
I'll miss the breaking mom / broken mom communities
There's already some pretty established and active communities over here:
/c/Linux /c/archlinux /c/kde
Nice, I also use archlinux
NaturelsFuckingCute.
I need my dose of cuteness every day.
r/selfhosted Seems like they should be on board with moving to something open, but hasn't happened yet
Posted this in another comment a minute ago: https://lemmy.ml/c/selfhost
tiktokdrama and some of the snark subreddits I used to follow. i hate tiktok and don't watch it, but i love knowing what all the insane personalities are up to 😂
Correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen Lostgeneration on here
Right now I wish all my game subs would recreate on Lemmy. I used Reddit mostly for entertainment, and getting info on games that I'm currently playing is actually what got me into Reddit for the first time.
Vinyl Releases and Vinyl Deals. My wallet wants both of them to stay behind though.
The community I use most and the only one I still visit reddit for is r/hockey. There are a couple of hockey communities here, but they aren't active enough for them to even show up in my home page.
Unfortunately they were very vocally against a blackout, and they seemed to think all the complaints against reddit were stupid/overblown. So I doubt the users will move here.
I miss starterpacks, Hydro homies and the steam deck subs. Some of these are set up but the communities aren’t very active yet
Redneckengineering, unket, middlyinteresring, odly satisfying, swedish problems,
I'd love to see r/techsupportgore, r/spicypillows, and r/redneckengineering
ShittyFoodPorn, AbandonedPorn, DIWhy, PallasCats, CurlyHair…
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.
r/linux r/linuxquestions
More than migrate, I want to see the content build. Much of my browsing was looking through obscure threads (in askreddit for example creepiest things online, scariest this, etc. ) and reading comments.
yessssss
i was always on r/hubposts, which was a sub where every post would be like "Spooky and Paranormal Threads" and then it would have like 50 links categorized into stories from truck drivers, or maybe hospital staff, or just camping stories, home alone stories, and each of those links was an AskReddit thread with TONS of comments.
I could get lost in hubposts truly for hours. I really do miss that sort of back log of content.
I want to see PoliticalCompassMemes here, but we need user flairs for communities before that can really happen
If it does, I hope it comes over as the original version of the sub when there was a good balance of people from all over the political spectrum and everyone made fun of themselves. These days it feels like a right wing meme sub for the most part where they just make fun of the left, so it kind of lost what made it unique and fun to engage with.
TBH, none of them. Reddit has has a lot of time to make sure the communities have been culled to the most acceptable to reddit's advertisers. I don't want any of that.
