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?
Welcome everyone! Just as a PSA, here’s a cross instance community explorer: https://browse.feddit.de/
This is phenomenal, thank you for sharing!
I’m trying to be the change I want to see in the world https://lemmy.ml/c/hydrohomies
A hero among men
truly the hero we need!
You’re doing God’s work
Way to go! Just joined.
I’m missing witchesagainstthe patriarchy, mommit, and quilting. Everything else is here and I’m going to get more familiar this weekend and maybe start some groups
Hi all! I’m a Reddit refugee. This is my first comment here. I think I’m gonna lurk for a while and figure out how this works
Yes but there’s only 7 subscribers and I’m the only post :(
Then again it’s a niche community about a fantasy series, I’m not surprised it doesn’t have much going on yet.
c/WheelofTime
I’m about to go make that 8!
Edit- still getting used to this and my search on jerboa isn’t pulling anything for wheeloftime
See my reply for a clickable link that should work on any instance. I haven’t tested in Jerboa yet. Let me know if it works.
Got an address not found error when I clicked on it
Hmm… That’s a shame. I can confirm that it doesn’t work for me in Jerboa either, but it does work on the website. Looks like Jerboa doesn’t handle URLs in that format correctly and tries to open it in a browser.
Try this: https://lemmy.ca/c/WheelofTime@lemmy.ml
Jerboa is still trying to open it outside of the app for some reason. It’s a different 404 page than last time so some might call it progress.
Edit. Tried the link again and got a 502 bad gateway error
Looks like perhaps Jerboa doesn’t have a way to link to communities in a universal way like the website does. Shame, but I’m sure it will come.
I’m going through my backlog rn, recently picked reading back up after college killed my voracious appetite. Currently working through my very first few WH40K books, after that I’ll probably read Dune. I’ve heard good stuff about WoT, how is it? I’ve read some fantasy staples but I’d be lying if I said I was a connoisseur. I just know my teachers in school didn’t like the author.
It’s my favorite fantasy series. I highly recommend it if you like modern fantasy; you’ll notice that a lot of stuff written in the last 20 years is often heavily influenced by it. It’s also complete, so you don’t need to wait for more books to come out
The hardest part with it, frankly, is that book 1 feels very different from the others because the author hadn’t quite gotten his feet under him. It’s also extremely long at 14 total books, each one over 700 pages. But I think it’s well worth it.
I’ll add it to the list, thanks!
WoT fans love the series and can make fun of some of the styling.
WoT detractors have obviously read the series judging by their criticism.
It’s kinda addictive. When it’s good, it’s great. When it’s bad, it’s tolerable.
You really want to know what happens next…and at least you’re not starting it before it has been finished. You didn’t want to live through THOSE years.
Overall, I’m a fan. Its a LOT lighter than Dune, which I also like, but for different reasons.
Here’s a clickable link to it link
They’re heeeeeeeere…
I’m really pleased by how many are starting anew on Lemmy. I giggled like a little kid when I saw HydroHomies was already up.
Not really. My most visited subs on reddit (fuck spez) were Rimworld, Zomboid, Hunt Showdown and various hobby/profession subs (graphic design, illustration, itap, photography). I’m fairly confident a UX/UI sub will pop up sooner rather than later considering how techie Lemmy’s userbase seems to be. Iirc there is a gaming related comm on beehaw, but the odds those three games will be talked about is rather slim.
Edit: also, Swoleacceptance. Recently got back to the gym due to mental health. Was a gym rat years ago but life got in the way.
Upvoted for the “fuck spez”
Would definitely be keen to see a Rimworld sub (magazine? whatever it’s called lol) on here!
I feel you on the mental health getting in the way of the gym. I’ve recently started getting back into share due to improving my mental health and I’m kicking myself for not going back sooner.
I’m hoping some more niche hobby/profession communities will come over soon. If not I may have to start one and that’s a scary thought.
LGBTQ+ support spaces. Lemmy has some, but not enough.
I can’t find any of my outdoor communities such as r/campingandhiking, r/backpacking, r/hikingcanada, r/wildernessbackpacking, r/nationalpark
Come to mander.xyz and make them. ;)
Was going to say, I joined meander.xyz as it seems to have a good mix of tech, science, and environment / nature stuff as well. When I scrolled through it was the instance that most resembled my subreddit list (except for the cats. Is there a cats instance?!)
I haven’t found one but there’s a few cats and aww like subs that have already popped up. Speaking of which, are they called subs here or lemmings or …? 😅
I think they’re called communities here but I LOVE your “lemmings” idea!
Same, looking for those, will try to make some too
Still looking for a r/writingprompts replacement
Even if only to read
Tell us, what is missing for you?
Niche anime communities. So far, it’s just Bocchi the Rock that has a separate community from the Anime community in lemmy.ml. I need my Re:Zero, KonoSuba, Kaguya-Sama, Classroom of the Elite, Call of the Night etc. I hope with more people coming in, it would been the flourishing of an entire anime ecosystem here in Reddit (probably one instance for anime solely?)
I’ve started https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/gamedev (!gamedev@lemmy.blahaj.zone) and it had a much larger influx of members already than I expected. Very nice :)
is it blocked on lemmygrad? i dont see it in the community list
It should not be! But it can be that you need to search for for it on your communities page by the full name first (sometimes multiple times, or wait a bit) and then you can try following the link again.
For example: https://lemmygrad.ml/search/q/!gamedev%40lemmy.blahaj.zone/type/Communities/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1 (and hit search)
This happens if the instance you’re a member of has never indexed the instance that it is hosted on before.
Some of the small things to improve still in the Lemmy experience :)
thanks! subscribed. is there some bigger blahaj zone community i should know about?
I’m just a member of the instance and I think mine has accidentally become the biggest one! But feel free to browse around on https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/communities :)
Here’s a clickable link that should work on everyone’s instance as long as it’s not blocked. /c/gamedev@lemmy.blahaj.zone
I created mine at /c/guitars , I’m not sure if the reddit community at large will join though. I’m hesitant to push it anywhere, it feels like sleazy self promotion. I just wanna talk about my hobbies with other hobbyists, and leave all the corporate greed back at reddit.
!guitars@lemmy.world? neat!
yep, that’s the one :)
awesome!
Subscribed! Please, push it and be sleazy. I know I’ve seen others asking about a fretted community. Are you ok with banjos, bass, uke, etc visiting?
We welcome fretboards of all shapes and sizes
You can’t change comm names right? Cus I propose fretbros as a name.
Lol nice, no I don’t think you can change community names, but I chose what I did to directly mirror the subreddit it was modeled from.
Excellent! Thank you!
If anyone misses /r/chapotraphouse they have their own version of Lemmy they have built for the last 3 years which should be back to being federated soon. hexbear.net for anyone interested.
Nope, not yet, unfortunately. The majority of them either hasn’t migrated here yet, or has a low amount of subscribers. Hopefully, more of them starts migrating here soon.
The ones I frequently browse that I doubt will migrate here are probably r/characterai, r/choiceofgames, and r/hostedgames.
I haven’t seen r/gamedeals and r/livestreamfail here yet, but their amount of subscribers is pretty high compared to the other subreddit I’ve listed, so I think they’ll probably migrate here soon.
But at least the country I live in has made a community here already. The amount of subscribers is still pretty low, but some people in there have been making a few posts and comments recently, so hopefully it gets more active soon.
I’m willing to make a ChoiceScript community, only problem is that - if Discord has taught me anything - I should never, ever be a mod for anything.
Edit: y’know what fuck it, i’ll just pass the baton to whoever is willing to be a mod !choicescript@lemmy.world
looks like !gamedeals@lemmy.world is starting up!
