What communities ("subreddits") would you like to see?
Is there anything you'd like to talk about or share but haven't found a place to do so? What communities (or "subreddits" for all Reddit refugees) would you like to see?
This could be a resource for anyone wanting to start a community and find out what people are looking for, and a place to request a community you just haven't found yet.
My local subreddit, but it will sadly never happen, because the overwhelming majority of users there simply don't care about whatever spez or reddit is doing - they didn't even do the 48h blackout, just complete apathy. Oh well, I'll miss it, but not enough to actually go back there, so it's all good.
Well, time for you to create it and hope that a new generation of lemmy users will eventually find their place.
That's not happening either - I would not be a moderator or leader of any community even if it was a paid position :) It's fine though - I can definitely live without it, I'll just need a bit of time to get over the addiction fully - I am surprised at how much I like this place, so it's actually going much smoother than I expected.
What is it?
Talesfromtechsupport and the other tales subreddits were always great.
I will miss Hybrid Animals too.
I play a lot of Stardew Valley and I'm going to miss that community, as there sadly doen't seem to be enough interest for it around here. And the jazz-related communities are also inactive.
I'd love to be part of a stardew Valley community, is there one already on kbin?
Yes, there is one, but there are currently no threads or microblogs there. We have to start somewhere, I guess.
Thank you! I'll try and think of something to post
I really miss my local city sub. It had barely any traffic but it would keep me in touch with certain events abs news.
I tended to use Reddit for smaller niche communities, many of which I do not see here yet. For example Eldin Ring, Ghost of Tsushima, Hot Sauce, Gifrecipes, Rings of Power, PTCGL. It will be nice when these can be created and have enough people to make it interesting but it's not there yet.
Found this yesterday as well
https://sub.rehab
Here the link in a form that doesn't crash Jerboa:
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/lemmy_wishlist
joke subreddits such as /r/pferdesindkacke, /r/breadstapledtotrees, /r/dogswithwings etc.
r/toiletsstapledtotrees
Niche, but I enjoyed Stereograms.
Cosplay, anyone? Like sewing, there's some amazing artists out there.
a new home for r/comics!
HobbyDrama. I wouldn’t have anything to contribute so I haven’t started it myself, but I really enjoyed reading the in depth writings about niche hobby blowouts.
Love that one. Consistently high quality.
The two that I can think of are Justrolledintotheshop and Fitness. I know there are fitness communities, but I miss the Weekly rant, victory posts, and the activity. There was also a circlejerk version of it and I liked lurking there. I understand that the type of person signing up here probably aren’t into some of these things.
I know Justrolledintotheshop didn’t participate in the blackout because it seems like a lot of the posters there didn’t care about the API stuff. They also don’t care about their personal data being harvested, and I’m sure they complain about right to repair and all of that fun stuff too.
Anyways, I always liked the “humorous posts; educational comments” subreddit. Another example would be programmerhumor.
I appreciate the mods for what they do, but I only feel comfortable commenting, lurking, and the occasional posting. Posting content makes me feel too connected to the internet and reminds me to touch grass more often. Hence why I wouldn’t become a mod or create those subs
Programmer humor is alive and well on lemmy world!
Tifu exists:
https://sh.itjust.works/c/tifu
There is also this one: https://lemmy.world/c/tifu it has been active lately.
Yeah, gifrecipes is a cool one that would be nice to have here
In this case it should be called l4l or k4k, depending whether they're on Lemmy or Kbin.
I keep looking out for the lonely lemming subs but nothing yet. They probably need a particular population size (and mix) before they start working. Same for the random acts subs.
A malazan book of the fallen community and a world of tanks blitz one
I feel like for Malazan the only alternatives have been discord servers, and maybe the old forum but I haven’t been there in a long time.
Do you have links to the discords?
I'm listening to HoC on audiobook. Its been kind of hard to follow because I haven't had a pile of time to listen consistently.
If you’re going through the series for the first time, I really recommend listening to the Ten Very Big Books podcast and joining their discord. They have great spoiler-free discussions throughout the whole series.
I thought that I was in another one called Moons Spawn, but I can’t seem to find it anymore.
Awesome! Thanks! I've been putting the pieces together for the most part, but this will certainly be helpful
Oh yeah, it makes a huge difference to have some higher level discussion to follow, and TVBB is very good about not spoiling anything. I used the Tor Reread for the first four books when I first went through the series and it was a big help.
Yeah, the tor re-read's been great, but it's still a shitpile of information to slog through.
A league of legends community would be nice
I wish for TheIsle to become a Sublemy
For the racing enthousiasts, I created c/wec . Feel free to join, I'm lonely over there :D
I would love to see a disc golf magazine
There is one over on lemmy.world. only 10 members right now.
Thanks for the heads up!
None really, got all my crafts here already and my other account has all kinds of gamedev communities to follow. Now that Star Trek is here and a couple of people have set up Eurovision communities, not to mention UKCasual is here, I'm pretty sorted!
Just need more people to join in with the ones that exist, now.
Do you have any gamedev communities to recommend?
Sure! [email protected] (Lemmy link) / (Kbin link) has become the most active general gamedev one although there are others, if you visit this one you'll see there's a pinned thread with links to all kinds of related communities you might like. Engine specific ones as well as other general gamedev ones and so on.
[Kinda random yapping] Hopefully some day the link stuff gets sorted >.<; Here on kbin the "local link" points at c/[email protected], but kbin uses m/ instead of c/ so it doesn't work. Switching to m/ is doable enough but it'll be nice for that (and general inter-instance fussness) to be no longer necessary :-\
This is perfect thank you I was going to add a Kbin version but wasn't sure exactly what would work. Imma start doing that for everything now!
Where is VexillologyCirclejerk? Is it safe? Is it all right?
I want a kitchen confidential magazine. As a cook, I found a lot of comfort visiting that sub at the end of a long day and seeing everyone else experiencing the same stuff I was. I miss that content
Another vote for justrolledintotheshop.
NoLawn, Cycling
I'd like to see a community like r/cabinporn (nothing nsfw, just pics of cabins) ans r/overlanding
i enjoy reading /r/comics. the creators are still posting in reddit so the /c/comics here is not active. Maybe we can create a bot that will scrap data from reddit and post it in lemmy? Just make sure to tag or mention the OC
A lastfm community that is active
What I liked about reddit was that there was seemingly a sub for everything, no matter how ultra specific. Like r/master returns for vids of dogs happily greeting their owners, or a sub for wolfs eating watermelons etc. As far as I can tell, there are substitutes for the basic, most known subs here but ultra specific stuff lile this will probably take time.
I also miss communities for specific games I play. There are some, but even those are not super active and only for some bigger games.
What would be supper useful though is to have a place where you can ask what communities you could join based on what you want - like r/findareddit (edit: nvm, just found [email protected]!)
I’d love to see
M/Sonos
M/hometheater
M/smarthome
M/NYC
I would love for [email protected] to get some attention :)
Want something like r/hardware.
They're up now but continuing to participate in Reddit leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
[email protected]
Terraria, Perfectlycutscreams but that would require video embedding, Minecraft, a lot of the chaotic comedy subs from reddit but again, video embedding. I'm sure there's more but that's what comes to mind right now.
This one is a hard one, but so many of my favorite podcast subreddits aren't available here for sending in memes and OC. Miss those communities.
Do you have examples?
I'm holding out for a College Football community (or, really, an FCS football community). We're coming up on the season, and I'm gonna miss the shit talking and Game Day threads, not to mention general CFB news and updates.
Celiac/gluten free, Natureismetal, Animalsbeinggenius'
2latinoforyou
I'd love to see a cryptology and/or decoding community over here
Some game communities still come to mind. Snowrunner doesn't exist yet. And many others.
No Man's Sky does, though.
r/AndroidGaming r/4kbluray r/CrackSupport r/CrackWatch r/LaptopDeals r/MemeFormats r/MemeRestoration r/MemeTemplatesOfficial r/RepackWatchers r/SceneReleases r/Wallpaperland
So far a couple of big ones (askreddit) and an unnamed one I used to occasionally go on using teddit on my PC browser are here, but I'm hoping that garfieldminusgarfield and imsorryjohn migrate if they already haven't.
To add to that, I would wish for "calvinandhobbes". 😊
Sublemmys
subLeminals
sublemation
I want to see the see silly story subreddits: TIFU, AITA, Am I the Devil, things like that. And I'll miss Best of Reddit updates.
I'm one of those guys that was really sad when WatchPeopleDie closed down. I learned a lot from that sub, and especially just how fragile a human can be...
I don't think we're bringing back watchpeopledie
What about WatchPeopleDieInside?
Probably for the best, I'm sure. I still miss it though. There were some other subs that tried to replicate it, but it was murder after murder etc. WPD was mostly accidents etc
It'll probably be on one of the more 'questionable' instances that gets blocked a lot.
I think there already is a "The Trump" or smth for your m*sturbation needs
