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?

Waiting for the Farming and Gardening subs to move over along with prepping.

I would like a CitiesSkylines community on Lemmy.

One of my main subs was /r/cfb, I don't think it has transitioned yet... Hopefully it'll get up and running before football season starts.

Mechanicalpencils is missing for me. I don't post there much on reddit, but I love lurking there. I hope they migrate.

[–] hydrospanner@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

r/pens and r/fountainpens too!

Like you, I am not terribly active there but I enjoy lurking on both.

Hello fellow rice lover.

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

It's not much but it's honest work... I remember finding this sub the first time and was blown away that I wasn't alone! So I started it. !futuramasleepers@thesimplecorner.org

There's a bunch of creative writing type subreddits that I lurked on; hfy, writingprompts, fanfiction, that sort of thing.

[–] jerry@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

/r/welding /r/machinists /r/cherokeexj /r/jeep made it though (and some wrangler community... so, yay?)

[–] Cheesewithmold@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Gonna be a long wait until niche communities can even start rebuilding. Probably the worst part about this whole thing.

I just started !beatsaber@lemmy.ml hoping to see the Beat Saber subreddit migrate over but I'm not sure of the future direction. Be the change you want to see!

[–] sprocket@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (6 children)

I mean I mainly spent my time on the UK based subs and we've got United Kingdom and casualuk equivalents here already which is good. They both need a lot more users though.

Mainly what I'm missing are skateboarding, more specific music subs like metal, punk etc., but those will come in time I'm sure.

Nice to be here by the way, still getting used to how the whole fediverse thing works but it seems pretty cool so far!

I really want a csharp (C#) one. I know there is one but no one has posted there yet. XD And more game/Indie dev.

And something equivalent to the aww subreddit (does anyone know one?).

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.

[–] CaptainAlchemy@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For the most part yes, I would say anything mainstream is generally made its way to lemmy, however some niche subs like r/hamradio r/gmrs and some gaming subreddits like r/fireemblem and r/finalfantasy seem to be missing. Honestly I'm surprised even 90+% of the communities I follow are on here, I'm quite hopeful that it'll continue to get better.

Mainly specific game subs, but I could always make them myself I suppose.

[–] XanXic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Same, my favorite subs to actually engage with are the game specific subs but they don't exist here. But idk if what the responsibilities of making a community is just yet. I don't want to be sole moderator of a sub I traditionally loved just shit posting in.

Yes, actually. r/programmerhumor and r/anarchychess although on different instances are just like they were over at reddit.

Esoteric one for all of you … r/faceting used to discuss faceting gemstones. Also r/gemstones … what can I say it’s a hobby I enjoy. 😁

[–] Acester47@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

I really like the poker subreddit. It's a really strange place, there's always some kind of shit post, tons of sarcasm.. people are dicks to eachother. And yet it can be a very helpful resource when the facade drops and people become genuinely helpful. Also lots of great clips from world poker events. I'm not sure Lemmy is the place for this tbh, there are many other established poker forums.

[–] lynny@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

No. I would really like /r/AskLemmy to happen though.

No and I doubt they will, I'll have to look for an alternative to get my mexican memes and news.

One of my most visited lately is for a reality TV show, Vanderpump Rules. It’s not here, but I suspect the crossover between early adopters here on the fediverse and trashy reality TV shows is very low lol.
