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?

    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.

      It was spun out from the group behind the Discord that was very active when /r/CTH was shut down. I’d say Hexbear is very different from what /r/CTH was back in the day. You could be a succdem and generally feel at home on CTH, Hexbear tends towards full on ML.

      (I say this as a commie who has been on hexbear since day 1)

        You are definitely correct. I forgot about the discord that was a bridge of sorts. The politics definitely have become more principled hence the shedding of the chapo brand.

    Game-specific subreddits (i.e., LegendsofRuneterra, PathofChampions, CustomLoR, MagicArena, leagueoflegends, starcraft, Factorio, LastEpoch, ftlgame). Warframe@dormi.zone looks good.

    Franchise-specific subreddits like Batman. !star_wars@lemmy.world looks good.

    Entertainment (i.e., Showerthoughts, oddlysatisfying, interestingasfuck, DesignDesign, EngineeringPorn, OldSchoolCool).

    Niche art (i.e., PixelArt, RetroFuturism, cassettefuturism, TheNightFeeling).

    I expect the first two categories (where I commented most) to be the slowest to move here.

      I too wish the game specific subs migrated. Like Forza subs

      • r/forza
      • r/ForzaHorizon
      • r/ForzaOpenTunes
        GI subs
      • r/Genshin_Impact
      • r/Genshin_Lore
      • r/GenshinImpactTips Destiny subs
      • r/destiny’s
      • r/DestinyFashion
      • r/DestinyLore
      • r/DestinyMemes
      • r/DestinyTheGame DRG sub
      • r/DeepRockGalactic

      Also miss the anime subs. /c/anime looks like it could grow into r/anime. But others like

      • r/absolutelynotanimeirl
      • r/animeirl
      • r/anime_irl
      • r/Animewallpaper
        don’t have lemmy equivalents at the moment.

    I’m going to miss the mycology sub, haven’t had any luck in finding something similar yet.

    Missing: r/liberalgunowners, r/libertarian without the hard-right Mises Caucus flavor, r/reloading, r/longrange

    Happy to see: r/iowa, r/SocialistRA

    Happy to not see: r/politics, r/whitepeopletwitter and their… unique dogpiling

    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.

      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.

        Start it, it helps with the user migration when potential new sign ups visit lemmy for the first time, someone will probably offer to moderate it on your behalf in the future

        I’m not sure I’m feeling the mental health benefits yet (today I did get an endorphin rush however, first time in a while), but I’ve been back for a very short time. Dealing with some injuries and post covid symptoms now, mostly endurance related, as well, which hasn’t been fun but eh, I’ve been worse. At the very least I’ve gone down a few sizes and look okay in most of my wardrobe. Though I will say, I did miss pull day.

        Agree on the scary thoughts. I’m not much of a social person and have committment issues, I’d be a terrible mod, lol.

          Yeah it took a little while to feel the mental health benefits, basically once I also fixed my sleep schedule. But the hardest part was sticking to it earlier on.

          I’ve only been working out again for a couple months and I usually focus on body weight stuff and cardio. I’ve never been big on getting swoll just filled out of that makes sense.

          I’ve definitely got some old injuries that like to make things tough but I just remember the physical therapy I had to do for them and add those exercises back into the mix.

    I’d like to have a logo edit / sbubby sub.

    Also, some niche ones that aren’t there yet (AFAIK):

    buildapc : PC building help

    SavageGarden / carnivorousplants: subs aimed towards tending bug-eating plants

    hardwaregore / firmwaregore / softwaregore / technope : subs based around faulty hardware and firmware, sometimes destroyed hardware, or badly designed software

    cablefail : pictures of bad cable management and the chaos of cabling in general

    itsaunixsystem : sub based on overly fake or wrong tech in the media

    PBSOD : faulty kiosks and such displaying error messages in the open

    spicypillows / spicybricks : sub based on the pictures of swollen batteries of any kind, with the “bricks” being UPS batteries

    dankpods / battrees : Australian youtuber who yells at several portable music gadgets and headphones, the battrees one being pictures of off-brand batteries, mostly PKCell batteries, but can also be several others as well.

    techsupportmacgyver : instances of crazy fixes that ended up working

    termux : sub for the Termux project

    ITRage (likely a replacement for iiiiiiitttttttttttt) : information technology-related rage posts

    headphones : not sure if there’s a sub there for headphones and IEM related stuff so I guess there could be one.

    justrolledintotheshop : automotive repair shop employee’s findings when working on vehicles

    Another, much more niche music, streaming and TV-related:

    kpop : for Korean music news and updates, discussion (with objective viewpoint)

    kdrama : news and updates about Korean drama series, reviews, discussion

    kdramarecommends : recommendations for Korean drama series

    trigger (or maybe studiotrigger) : discussion and updates on anime made by Studio Trigger

    webtoons : webtoon series discussion

    animemusic : sharing music featured in anime series

    This all I could get from the top of my head currently.

      Oh man I LOVE sbubby, I’m crossing all my fingers and toes that we get an equivalent here!

      I think I saw a headphones community when I was browsing earlier. I’ll have another look for it when I’m back at my pc

      edit: !headphones@lemmy.film - looks like it’s just started up, maybe you can help it along?

    I scanned quickly through the comments here so I may have missed any mentions, if there were any… But my suggestion is: there should be a master/stickied list of equivalent subreddits. So in the future, people can just google [subreddit name] + lemmy (or kbin or beehaw etc etc).

    Preferably the same exact subreddit name. Or are those subreddit names owned by Reddit? Can they come after us?

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

        Yeah – its gonna be a while. Gonna post in some of the ones that do exist and see if I can help develop them.

          I’ve been a thousand times more active on here than I ever was on Reddit. I just want this to succeed. Lemmy seems really cool. I love that it’s decentralized and open source.
