Anyone here wanting to join a sub similar to a Reddit one, but it's not here and you don't want to make it because you don't wanna be in charge?
Yeah, sorry about the run-on sentence title, but I hope you get what I'm saying

That was me. I don't really feel like modding. I was offered a few mod spots on reddit over the past 11 years, took up one or two, didn't really enjoy it.
But if everyone feels that way, then lemmy can never reach critical mass. SO i bit the bullet, created a community and hopefully someone will be interested in modding if it ever grows big.
If anyone's interested, I created maliciouscompliance (one of my favorite subs to lurk in). Mostly reposts for now, but OC should trickle in slowly.
Try joining from one of the links below:
/c/[email protected]
https://lemmy.world/c/maliciouscompliance
Or type the following in the search bar at the top: ![email protected]
If you need help modding it I'd definitely be willing to help out. It's one of my favorite communities on Reddit
Hey thanks for taking one for the team. I always love maliciouscompliance, so I'm glad we have it here now. Appreciate you!
<3
Oh nice I liked that subreddit too, will join
I really appreciate the work and contribution of everyone here, to make this a great place. :)
<3
Thank you! (One of my favorites so glad it's now here.)
You're welcome!
Yes. 1000% for some of the NSFW subs I used to enjoy
Lemmynsfw.com
Thirsty!
Ew.
You got my first downvote.
Oh, how I've missed seeing the number of downvotes.
That was one of the first changes I disliked that reddit forced down our throats. Seeing the actual totals (without the nonsense "vote fuzzing") is much more engaging.
Exactly. Ok sure, so somebody said something either not popular or a bit stupid, but “filtering” them out is equally stupid, if not more. You promote echo chambers that way.
Man you really forget what you miss after awhile, it's so good to see it back
It's been a while ain't it. That was the first time i knew Reddit didn't care about our opinions.
How dare somebody use adult content.
On this Christian site! The nerve! I need to Investigate it for research purposes
It's times like this I appreciate that Reddit automatically hid low scoring comments
That's also part of what made reddit a huge echo chamber. Enough downvotes and a post disappears from view. Sure it hides toxic posts, but it also hides dissenting opinions.
Honesty! EW!
As a former reddit mod who's made some communities here, so far they are 0% of the work of the reddit ones (not that I was working hard on the reddit communities, I set up automod and let it run). But so far I haven't had to do any mod work here because there's basically no spam and no bots. I'm sure that will change, but I can also just recruit more mods as the communities grow.
how recently were you a mod on reddit? I've been trying to raise discussions on various communities that I follow about a possible migration and I'm receiving a lot of indifference from the userbase. However, I feel like the mod userbase feels differently given the widespread blackout (many of these communities joined the blackout but it seems like a lot of their users are unaware or unconcerned with the changes.)
my question is do you think the mods are more sympathetic to migrating platforms?
I miss my cat subs. The bigger ones like OneOrangeBraincell, StandardIssueCats, and VoidCats.
And some of the specific ones like Sploot, Toolps (reverse of sploot for the unintiated), KittyCankles, ScrungyCat,
NamFlashbacks. Mainly because my I took new pictures of my cats and wanted to post them there.
illegallysmolcats. There are not near enough cat pic subs. I NEED MORE CATS.
edit: FUCK YEAH KITTENS!
My baby Roxie when she was still a nugget: https://i.imgur.com/rFQWMgK.jpg
She's 2 now and still pretty smol at 7 pounds: https://i.imgur.com/00qeUVP.jpg
Sharing mine when they were still illegally smols
when my Zelda was just a kitten
Someone needs to keep those criminals in check!
There's an illegallysmolcats. I subbed to it today. I'm on my phone so I can't easily post the link but if you search for the name, it should come up.
Might have been created since the last time i searched. Thank you.
OneOrangeBraincell was sooo good. Oh those sweet dopey boys
There's one here. Also standard issue cats.
I made this one! https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/cats And then I found this one! https://lemmy.ml/c/aww
The "aww" site can be found/subbed by searching on your account's server for: ![email protected]
**Example: **I'm on lemmy.world so if I go to: https://lemmy.world/search and enter the "!" string above it finds me a link that once clicked presents me with a "Subscribe" button.
I'm subscribed to those, but as per @[email protected] below, I NEED MORE CATS! Lol.
Edit: I tried to post in c/aww but I only have lemmy.world account :(
Ok I figured it out. So from my community blahaj, I subscribed to aww. Then in blahaj I create a new post and search for the aww community. And it worked. Give it a try!
Exactly! You don't need an account on the specific instance, it all federates! You can subscribe to communities on any instance that isn't blocked :D
Punch in ![email protected] in the search bar on lemmy.world, and it will take you there. You can post there no problem.
Those are here!
Yey! Just subbed! Thank you!! @[email protected] you are a star!!
My pleasure!
Average Lemmy user
Yeah, I miss r/Psoriasis, because I have auto-immune, and I miss r/AskDentist and r/AskMechanic and all the learning based subs basically.
They wouldn't let me onto Beehaw with the answer I gave to their question, so I joined the first instance I could find that looked interesting. Now I kind of feel awkward making any new communities that aren't Star Trek related lol.
@Mojo @KahunaDaKine on the same page, was initially bummed out my account didn't get approved, guess my answer was poo lol. But then I remembered I can use my Mastodon account to comment. I just can't create post or downvote them.
Favoriting counts as a upvote though.
So I'm basically a lurker now lmfao! (ʘ‿ʘ)
try lemmy.world - it's big, it allows community creation and downvoting, and allows NSFW. And signups are open.
I joined because I thought it was the most unrestricted and versatile in terms of rules.
Plus the owner seems pretty chill. Keeping us all updated on his server plans and everything. Kinda like that and knowing the fate is in the users handy.
@[email protected]
Fun fact! You can make posts from Mastodon to Lemmy. If you search the community on Mastodon, e.g. [email protected], you can @ the account that should show up with whatever you want to post, and it will show up here!
Ha, that’s kind of funny, and nice instance name. Can make a community over at Lemmy.pro if you like
I miss idiotsincars
https://lemmy.world/c/idiotsincars
Awesome! Subbed
Yes.. like for Plex, 3d printing and other applications. Support via reddit was best around..
But seeing some new stuff would also be nice...
I saw a 3dprinting. Plex and DizqueTV would be nice.
Here's the 3d printing one I found ![email protected]
Following up on this. There is a Plex community that's already pretty well established. So neither of us need make one. (There's a few more as well but it's totally dead)
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
https://lemmy.ca/c/plex
I'm on my phone so I don't want to this second, but will comment as a reminder to myself, I'll start a Plex community if one doesn't exist by the time I get there. The sub on Reddit wasn't very active but was good for small bits of things people figured out or bitching about the newest feature that isn't one everyone wanted lol.
For Plex, the selfhosted community (I don't remember which instance) can probably help.
I miss r/KitchenConfidential. It was a subreddit for people who work in the food industry. I feel like I've lost my support group.
Yes, but then I remember that my account is only 2 days old, and maybe I am just too impatient now.
Bahaha yes! Everytime I feel like things are just not there quick enough , I look at my profile and then i calm down and remember shit just don't happen and i chill out.
I started (like 2 hours ago) a Poetry community in my instance. I modded a few microscopic subreddits that never got any traffic, so I'm used to imposter syndrome as a moderator 😥
Yes. In my two or three days, I've considered making multiple, but then I remember I'd be defacto mod, and I calm down. Maybe later, but probably wait for the actual mods of those subs to make the community here.
I made a community for Dads, I was subbed to a few on the R, but didn't see much on Lemmy. If you are a dad and want to contribute to this community, please check it out!
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
What if I'm not a dad but want a new dad?
I want to meet that dad!
Also I need a Tim and Eric sub, thanks
What if I'm just a stepdad?
That counts!!
Just do it anyway and randomly assign people who post there to be mods.
But that'll just scare everyone away! :S
But is this not an evil move to do that? force responsibility on others?
Yes. I am mostly joking, but I don't find it to be "that" serious of a crime.
I've been trying to find an alternative to r/AskPsychology anywhere online because I've been trying to find statistics on how likely people with NPD and ASPD are to be abusive and be abused compared to the general population and have had no luck. Asking on places like Quora just results in dipshits and grifters screeching about how people with personality disorders are actual demons from literal hell (and in the latter case, shilling their blog, books, and webinars). ~Cherri
Hi, I'm not /r/AskPsychology but I am a psychologist who likes being asked things!
From a quick literature review, antisocial personality disorder does result in three times higher odds of committing violent offenses in general, and 2.5 times higher odds of being a repeat offender (Yu et al., 2012). Generally, personality disorders do increase the risk of someone committing partner abuse, especially Cluster B symptoms (Ehrensaft et al., 2006) Among men who abuse their wives, personality disorders are present in 50%-90% — especially anti-social, sadistic, and borderline (Hart et al., 2011) — despite personality disorders being only present in 15% of the population (Grant et al., 2004). Throughout, these effects are more pronounced in men, but also present to a rather large degree in women.
Less is known regarding whether people with personality disorders are more often victimised in their relationships. Borderline perdonality disorder in women seems to increase the risk of being abused by a partner by a factor of three though (Gilchrist et al., 2012). We also know that the overwhelming majority of people with personality disorders was abused during childhood (Johnson et al., 2001, etc.) and that victims of childhood abuse are much more likely to become victims of partner violence as adults (Gilchrist et al., 2012).
In summary — there is strong evidence that people with personality disorders are far more likely to be abusers than the average person. There is also evidence that they are also more likely to be victims by a similar factor compared to the average person, but that evidence is more scarce. Also, anti-social, borderline, and sadistic personality disorders are more strongly associated with abusers, and borderline with victims. There's a lot of research still to be done.

I apologize for the late response, I do appreciate the detail in this response. There are a couple things I'm not sure about though, mainly just "what do I say to people who claim that people with cluster B personality disorders are mostly or inherently evil or abusive, especially the ones who claim narcissistic/borderline/psychopathic abuse is a distinct form of abuse from other forms of abuse and/or that basically every evil politician or CEO or whoever secretly has a personality disorder and that's why they're evil?" and what the best ways to accommodate someone with a cluster B personality disorder are if I ever get to know someone with one. Not sure if I phrased all of that particularly clearly, so I apologize if it's confusing. ~Nai
I made a couple communities that I use to love on Reddit. I def don’t want the control but I’m hoping the fact that the communities exist may attract more people and someone may come along who is better suited to run the show
Thats how I am with my skyrim mods community, I even have mod authors of very large and respected mods hanging out over there, its a bit overwhelming
Well I wish you the best of luck. The way I see it, someone’s gotta take the first step, might as well be you if it’s not too much work. The communities I made are niche and small so there not much to be “in charge” of lol. I can figure out the rest later. It’s good to hear you have the right kind of people hanging in the community already
You can find communities here https://browse.feddit.de/
Not all of them on every instances, but it's a good start
This one is better imo https://lemmyverse.net/
Exactly what I needed. MVP.
Woah…
Thank you! <3
Still no PolandBall ಥ╭╮ಥ
This needs to be posted on more places.
Absolutely, yes. There are a decent number of subreddits I enjoyed, but only as a lurker.
I'm in the same boat. I loved subbing to random niche communities just to learn about them, but I know nothing about those topics myself so it doesn't make sense for me to start a new one.
We can scrape every content from those subreddits and put them on lemmy.
I wanna make original communities here, I also made some reddit sub clones here to give adminship if needed
Is that deliberately misspelling “peace of mind”?
not actually but that is an extra too
Hehe cool, I think both ways might actually be a thing, as in “I’d like to give that jerk a piece of my mind”
I was thinking the same but I'm be worried they'd not reach out and feel like they'd have to change the sub name.
I have neither the time, nor confidence to mod; but I have wondered if we should make something like a "lemmy wishlist" for communities we'd like to see ported. Seems like a good way for the lemmy community to vote on and discuss communities they'd like to see, and connect to would-be mods
I decided to make this over at https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/lemmy_wishlist
How do I subscribe to it? I try to type it like this
But it throws me 404. Meanwhile,
works fine.
Try putting the full provided link (as posted, no editing, so: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/lemmy_wishlist) in search bar of your instance. This should prompt this community to start getting federated on your instance and then it should be accessible at https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected]
Ok, now I understand. I was previously pasting it into the community dropdown meanu in the lemmy search page, but not in the search bar.
As in the search bar at the top of your browser window?
I meant search page I guess. There's a magnifying glass Icon at the top of the page. You should see something like this on the Image here. And then you can subscribe to the community from your instance
Aaaah ok gotcha. Cheers, bud.
Most importantly - has it worked for you? If so, I'm glad I could help. If not, I'm sorry, but I'm still pretty new to this and don't know much yet
It worked, thanks a lot. I'll make sure to teach this to 2 or more people at least if I encounter someone struggling with similar problem. That's how we'll learn this new system.
I believe this can happen if your instance (in this case lemm.ee) doesn't yet know about the new community. But if you enter the full url (https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/lemmy_wishlist) into your instance's search, it should look for it and find it. Maybe you have to wait for a couple seconds but for me this usually works.
True, but I don't want the controls in the first place 🫥
Yeah with me at the controls that airplane isn't leaving the gate.
I did exactly that. Founded r/recumbent and handed it off when it involved actual work.
I reluctantly created a bunch because I want to have those conversations. I figure with time we can always call for volunteers and appointment help as needed. I’m hopeful that moderating a board on Lemmy will require somewhat less effort than Reddit due to the friendlier atmosphere and lower volume.
Thanks for doing that! Maybe I’ll do the same. I am such a planner, that I worry about creating monsters I can’t control. 🥸
Yes, someone do a photography one please, where you can post your photos and talk about it
https://lemmy.world/c/photography
There's also https://lemmy.world/c/wildlifephotography
https://lemmy.world/c/blurryphotos ;)
My friend we have Photo Critique! Where we post our own work and critique it ourselves or ask for any guidance from the community and others will put forth a critique of your work and/or offer advice as well! I’m striving for a continuation of the Reddit community where I found a lot of great help on my own photography. We’d love to see your photos!
I have the opposite problem. I have a lot of subs to make and I can't figure out which to start with. Or if this is even the server I'm gonna keep, because there's a certain server I instantly discovered I want absolutely nothing to do with.
I'm still leaving about the different server situation. Can you elaborate please?
Probably lemmygrad. In addition to many people generally not being fans of communists, they have users who think praxis=spamming other communities with garbage.
Yes!! I’m with you, I’m active but not up for modding. Need Tennessee, My regional area, KidsAreFuckingStupid, and WhatCouldGoWrong.
https://lemmy.world/c/whatcouldgowrong
I’m resisting the urge to recreate r/Peloton (a sub about pro bike racing) before someone uses the name for a community based on those dumb exercise bikes.
I do want more bike communities, though I'm much less into the pro scene.
You could always make like Peloton Racing. Imo since all the sub names need the @instance there's not a whole lot of benefit to having the shorter name like Reddit where people just typing r/whatever into the url browser might take them to a relevant sub. Fed communities are going to have long specific names either way lol
Yeah, I am absolutely desperate for a German learning sub, but at A1, I am way too new at it to be moderating one
I'm just making shit I missed. Hope I'm not annoying with it, but it's like if it ain't there, put it there.
Totally. I suspect though that over time communities will appear for most things.
I'm waffling on making one for parenting.... Moderating that sounds like a terrible idea though.
Somewhat ironic.
Man's a mod irl, no need to do it more than ya gotta lmao
This is one of the ones I'm missing! And there was one specifically for preschoolers. But I have a preschooler, so no time for modding lol
Looking for more parenting communities too. So far, I've just found Dadsplain, which is serving as a replacement for r/daddit.
Do you have a link?
Think they may be referring to this community:
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
Looks like there's a few more that have popped up since they last looked, e.g.
https://lemmy.world/c/dadsonly
https://lemmy.world/c/dadworld
Yeah, that's the one
At least Trees has been created before those surgeons got here.
There was /r/soccerstreams but it was banned, unfortunately. Now it would be a good opportunity to bring it back again.
God I want a Doctor Who community so bad.
Dragon Age would be great too
Good news! They do have a Doctor Who community!
Drat, looks like it isn't working on Aussie Zone, can't subscribe to it
On your Aussie Zone instance, go to "search", and past the url in there. You might have to try this a couple of times, but it will show up eventually. Then you can subscribe to it from your instance.
Mate, you are magic! Took four attempts, but I got there. God, we really are giving this site the hug of death, aren't we?
I'm finding that if I click on a community and there's no "Subscribe" button, there's a text box under it that usually ends with a string of text that begins "!".
Copy that and then in my instance's "Search" field paste it in and search for it. So far that results in a link that I can subscribe to. It's a bit more work than that other place, but it does work.
Cheers!
And one for Mass Effect as well. Actually, elder scrolls as well, I see a lot of love for starfield but not much on their older games.
There's a skyrim mods community already. And a Skywind one just launched today.
https://lemmy.world/c/masseffect
Hard agree, frankly individual subs for a lot of gaming would be amazing
I've made- Artist Lounge, Printmaking, Collage
Not because I want to mod (never done it, and I'm autistic so it could end up becoming a nightmare) I just want to see some of my favourite communities on here
Any ex reddit mods of these subs want to re-adopt them, they're welcome to take them off my hands
edit- needed some commas
I think the trick will be to make more generic subs. There probably aren't enough users to have a dedicated "Zelda Tears of the Kingdom" sub, but "Nintendo" can actually gain traction. Anyone wanting to create a community should see if there's already one that might satisfy the needs.
Don't wanna be in charge
heh
Yes, I'm going to miss r/VXJunkies
I would try to set up a lemmy instance for VX but I can't get the meta-combobulator to flange in sync :/
Yeah, unfortunately that does seem to be the problem. I'm not sure how to fix it without a meta-flange paradox stabilizer on the combobulator's sync couplers. But I've no idea where to begin with that.
You don't get the what to what?
The whole joke of /r/VKJunkied is to pretend everyone is into fiddling with a technology called VX, make up jargon and technical terms, and everybody plays along.
I miss /r/CozyPlaces
& raining, liminalspaces
/r/homeassistant
/r/homelab
/r/pcgaming
/r/smarthome
/r/videosurveillance
R/BuildAPCSales
r/homelabsales
r/hardwareswap
Some exist...
[email protected] [email protected]
r/HermanCainAward. All those stories of antivaxxers biting it are cathartic.
I loved that one!
I miss my r/LiverpoolFC fam but I don't wanna be a mod. RIP.
There's one on lemmy. Search for "Liverpool" (without the FC) and look for Klopp's face in the results.
Also Liverpool has a mastodon acc
Yea, but it looks like a bot that just reposts the official Twitter account. The #Liverpool and #LiverpoolFC aren't really active yet
This one? @[email protected]
Feel the same about Aston Villa’s sub. Luckily we have a discord that was shared in the sub a few weeks ago and a decent amount of people are there but discord is harder to keep tabs on to me
No need to be sad, we're at https://lemmy.ml/c/LiverpoolFC Join us!
I really want a chainsawman community but I cannot handle that fandom at all
I want a video game multiplayer community for the Oceania region. Similar to 4chan's /vm/ board where people post a thread for a specific game and in the comments people organise times to play together.
The reason I dont make it is because I will be the first person and I am not an interesting leader person. I am better when someone else is the organizer and I follow.
I did make a Guinea pig community https://lemmy.nz/c/[email protected] I dont want to fill it with pictures of my two guinea pigs and I am also not sure if I can repost stuff from /r/guineapigs
@Puffymumpkins @Fizz You might just have to search for [email protected] I tried the link it worked on the website but not on my instance. I do see it, it has 4 followers
Definitely, although it's exciting to see new communities popping up.
I'm in a short-term crunch right now and don't have time to start something, but in a week or so I will probably create at least one if no one beats me to it.
feels, did these kinds of communities before centralization, im pretty physed to run a topical instance. find a small server and make a spot you can put your links for now, eventually there will be community aggregators
There's already browse.feddit.de if that's what you mean by community aggregator. On my instance one of the things I'm experimenting with is a simple bot that auto-subscribes to popular communities on different servers. It seems like the easiest way to populate a small community instance that intends to browse and not just communicate amongst themselves, almost like the "default subreddits" back on Reddit.
I need a list like browse.feddit.de that you can actually subscribe from. If theres a way to do that, i dont see it.
https://lemmyverse.net/communities it’s new and much easier to copy paste from
Where do you copy and paste it to though? If i copy, for example, the first one listed, Announcements, then go back to lemmy.world and paste it into the community search, it comes up as ![email protected], and the searrch comes up blank. If I manually type just "announcements" and search, I get results, but that's what I'm already doing.
You copy any community address such that it looks like this, a community at our instance for example:
![email protected]
And return to being back on your own instance (Lemmy.world it seems) and are logged in.
In your main menu there is a small search icon, tap that and enter the address like above and hit search. It can take some time to appear these days, but eventually the community link will show up, maybe at the bottom under posts that included it.
This hit sidebar, and then can find join and comment
Thank you! I don't know what I was doing before, but you got me there!
Hehe cool, great to hear :-)
@[email protected] says he's gonna work on that for his lemmy explorer: https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer/issues/5
Personally, I'm planning to try and integrate that lemmy explorer directly into our instance to do this automatically, but there's some changes I think I want to make first regarding how lemmy works.
Nice! Thanks for the link.
Great resource, thanks!
I keep mulling around the idea of a TV sub to discuss the long list of cozy murder shows I love. Most are on Acorn TV or Britbox for US audiences. I don’t mind helping start discussions and contributing, but don’t want to do it alone. Here are my list of favorites (in no order): Midsomer Murders, Death in Paradise, Brokenwood Murders, Shakespeare and Hathaway, McCormick and Dodds. There are more!
I think having one sub for this type of show could end up being a good start for more subs if one show starts to dominate, but could stay as a hub for those of us who like them all and want to discuss.
I wouldn’t mind starting, but am sporadic in my online time so would want help. Anyone else interested? Any ideas for making it a fun place to hang out and discuss the odd passion for laughing at (totally fictional) murders?
I'm not really one who has the inclination to moderate, but I might consider setting up the Lemmy equivalent of r/the_wire if one doesn't come up in the next few weeks.
Yes
Same but I made a ukulele community because I figure if I want something, it's my job to make it
I want a sub thats never really existed in any substantial form. There really dont seem to be any solid communities for cartoons that has any decent foot traffic. I still have /co/ bookmarked cuz its the only place on the internet i've seen that will discuss just about any kinda cartoons that are not anime.. Granted that site is full of a bunch of awful people so I dont really engage, but its nice to see an active place where people care about non-anime animated content and I always wanted a sub for it. I actually tried to make one my self but there obviously wasnt enough intrest in it, not really sure how one would grow a sub and didnt really want to put in the work in my self anyway
As in shows like Archer or Rick and Morty? Or more like Adventure Time and Infinity Train?
Yeah man, all of the above.
yeah absolutely
Fr, r/collapse and r/Genz need to hurry tf up
I made them
Forza Horizon video game had a nice community on Reddit, I'd love to have it here
It's these specific game communities that I am really missing. Beam.NG is another one.
there is a general simracing community, not much activity so far
probably need a more general approach before super specific communities branch off
![email protected]
All the niche home media film label communities like r/Criterion, r/BoutiqueBluRay, r/ArrowVideo, etc.!
Also r/SupermanAndLois
Hope someone can mod a bodyweightfitness community here
I've made [email protected] for those who want it. We just need more posts!
Personal preference: Memes are a big turn-off for me. But if people have a serious discussion about the books (themes, word usage, overlooked patterns, etc.) I'm all in. Not that you asked.
Yea, as we get people to sign up for mods I'm asking their preference if we should allow non-meme posts. Thanks for your personal feedback!
All good. I'm just some crusty old guy that remembers before the Silmarillion was published. Don't take me too seriously. I'm NOBODY'S target audience.
The subs that I mostly miss are OSCP, navyblazer, and the_pack. I recall seeing that all of these were archived on some site that I don't recall at the moment. I'm sure someone will find a way to import all of that data here sooner or later.
I am on some really tiny subs that I would like to see here. R/biathlon is a big void in my life right now.
I also like to see some of the bigger Subs like 2x chromosomes, troll X chromosomes, and witches versus the patriarchy.
I've only made one community on my instance !hhkb which is a super niche group that I was a part of on reddit.
Nice, HHKB crew 4 lyfe
I loved my HHKB!
All the niche home media film label communities like r/Criterion, r/BoutiqueBluRay, r/ArrowVideo, etc.!
Also r/SupermanAndLois
I guess we gotta be the change we want to see. . . https://lemmy.world/c/crafting_fails
I want to make a support group for a health condition I have, but idek how moderation works here...
Yeah, I’m kind of in the same boat. I’m so new to lemmy, I’m just trying to figure that out. Im definitely going to miss a few of the women specific subs I was on, and the running ones.
Neither do I but I started two communities anyway. If modding gets hard I’ll ask for help; can’t be much worse than policing a FB group.
I started a couple of communities as placeholders but don't really have time to mod. There hasn't been any activity yet but if / once people start posting we'll figure it out.
I was searching for a sub about Japanese Metal, couldn't find one and made it myself. Maybe, some day, the community will grow enough to hand it over to someone with mod experience, but right now, I don't have anything to moderate anyway, which is cool. Metalheads are civilized anyway ;)
yeah 😭
I'm a huge sci-fi fan and love the idea of a sci-fi server with communities for books, tv shows, etc to rehouse places like r/scifi, r/TheExpanse and r/SiloSeries. But as dev as I am I don't fancy running a server and being a super mod.
The Orville, and its less I refuse to be a mod for it, and more that I do not think that putting it on my instance would be the best place for it . That being said I keep thinking about doing that.
I miss r/singing.
I've been trying to find an alternative to r/AskPsychology anywhere online because I've been trying to find statistics on how likely people with NPD and ASPD are to be abusive and be abused compared to the general population and have had no luck. Asking on places like Quora just results in dipshits and grifters screeching about how people with personality disorders are actual demons from literal hell (and in the latter case, shilling their blog, books, and webinars). ~Cherri
Well, if you start one I'd join.
I am not qualified to start one. ~Cherri
For now, I decided to make it myself. If anything to start gathering the useful resources I learned back on reddit. If anyone later on wants to take over ill happily give them the entire thing cause I dont wanna mod.
Literally in the same boat. I wanted the place to exist over here but I've never been a mod and don't really have interest but for now I'm happy with me and my dead community. If it's ever not dead I'll have to figure out what to do.
I wouldn't mind starting up something like dankchristianmemes bur don't want to keep the hateful types from trying to colonize it
I wanted one for Art but didn't want to be in charge so my husband started it.
I also want to start one for the disease I have but again - don't really want to be in charge of it.
Maybe I think it's going to be more work than it will be?
Punks seem to be very present in the fediverse. I am sure you will find them.
Punks, trans persons, furries, chronic masturbators, anime enthusiasts, metal heads, antisocial gamers, and other generally well to do groups are usually the foundational prerequisites for starting large communities
Hoping a small business sub pops up soon. I learn so much from that one on reddit
You are just describing all of us lurkers and occasional commenters
The world is lacking a space simulation sub in Lemmy.
Maybe c/[email protected] would be a good stop.
I agree. You can always just go for it though, and atleast grab a place holder. Then advertise and hand of the topic to a better qualified team. That's what I did for a lot official gaming discords I set up, but didn't really want to continue moderating.
Yes! I want someone other than me to start a ZeroCovid group here.
Sorta, Got a bunch of the more niche communities I was in made, with only two exceptions. I believe in being the change I want made, but I"m hardly experienced as a moderator so it's a new adjustment. They're also existing communities so some mods usually have issues with that, though I'm always open to give mod status when relevant.
Yeah there's quite a few niche communities I'd like to have here that aren't around yet, but even if I created them, I don't think we're at a userbase large enough to populate them. They were kinda slow even on Reddit.
Yeah, the local ones like New Jersey or AITAH, but more importantly AskHistorians, AskScience, badHistory, etc
All this made me realize I only used reddit to not deal with boredom and having to just sit there alone with my thoughts.
Maybe it is time to start taking mindfulness seriously.
Definitely don't beat yourself up over it, every social media site evolves its own psychologically-optimum methods to hold our attention and keep us coming back.
This happens to be a golden opportunity for us to consider what exactly we want to get out of these services.
badly need one for valorant/competitive valorant
/r/dailyprogrammer New challenges on there pretty much came to a halt. It would be great if it could be archived at least. I would browse through the challenges and pick one out.
/c/TitleGore
But really though, are you asking if anyone has any communities they want to make so you can moderate them? I’m so confused
I'm asking if there are subreddits people wish were on here but aren't and don't feel like making them.
I absolutely do not want to make any or moderate anything.
If you can think of a more concise way to phase the question, please let me know.
“What are communities you want to see, but don’t want to moderate?”
Probably all I'm interested in lol.
I still don't get how this works. Are there sub-reddit equivalents? Is there an app I can use to subscribe to feeds or topics across multiple Lemmy servers?
Each Lemmy instance (server) has its own communities, which are like subreddits. But instances can read and post in other instances communities seamlessly. For example, there's a [email protected] and a [email protected]. They're both separate communities, but you can participate in both regardless of which instance you're a part of.
As for apps, on Android there's Jerboa and on IOS there's Mlem.
This is Lemmys biggest downfall.
The whole "instances" and technical terms are confusing my idiot reddit brain
yeah absolutely
yeah, some of the local ones, like New Jersey and AITAH and askreddit stuff
Is it easy to hand over control to someone else?
That's what I am planning to do. I made 2 subs on lemmy.ca, but if moderation becomes a hassle, I will hand it over to someone else.
I miss r/AMD, there's a couple around on here but they're pretty much dead.
/r/jrpg
you could start the community and then sticky a post asking for mod applications/assistance
I was considering making one for r/airraidsirens, seeing as that's my main hobby with a decent community. But moderating it sounds like it could become a real pain, so I have second thoughts, lol
D
Tbh i'm thinking of making the lemmy version of r/2latinoforyou but i'm terrible at moderating...
Yes
There’s a new subreddit for peri and menopause. It’s called r/menopausemavens
