Just curious. I miss mainly language stuff, some video game communities (like RoN, KCD) and some local communities like for Arabs or Saudis (tbf those were always cesspits but I miss talking to other Arabs on Lemmy)

I'll try to be the change I want to see. How about you?

Bit on the niche side but some relating to posting cute animal pics or some more hyper specific niche ones for some games. I actually run a few on Lemmy but real life issues alongside less activity overall means I'm lookin for some mods on that end.

I saw your post on comm_revival before this comment, aint this the truth. I miss some of these communities. For cute pics there are !superbowl@lemmy.world by the way.

Feel free to advertise some of your communities on !comm_revival@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

One for my model of car. One for native plants in my area

Native plants doesn't mean much if it just means native to the US. Theres a lot of weird stuff in CA, TX, and other regions found nowhere else, and a lot fewer plants that are found across regions. Ideally we'd have the users to have discussion about specifically CA-native plants but I'm not that passionate or knowledgeable enough to lead that effort.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

True, in this case, it would actually be beneficial to eventually have multiple communities based on region, e.g. !nativeplants@feddit.uk, !nativeplants@lemmy.nz, !nativeplants@lemmy.ca, etc.

Not sure if Lemmy quite has the numbers for that yet, though. Thoughts?

I would probably put everything in the same community at first, then split when userbase is sufficient

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

The second one should probably closed

Investment or stock communities.

Personally I'm boring and just invest in broad market indices, but I still enjoyed the discussions.

There is a Saudi community on Lemmy as it just popped up in my feed.

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

All arab related communities are modded by the same person, panarab and he's a PTB, so.. (Also an asshole in general so i'd steer clear)

I think of running a saudi/arab community here on lemmy but i think it may be too tiring, especially since i'm one of the more westernized arabs (despite not living in the west lol)

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

and he's a PTB

He's a public test build?

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah, of course, that makes much more sense.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 2 points 1 week ago (3 children)

There are some great communities of obsessive hobbyists here like !Selfhosted@lemmy.world, and if you throw a brick in any direction you'll hit two Linux nerds, but reddit has /r/sysadmin and other infosec groups that have large numbers of industry professionals - and no amount of enthusiasm can substitute for real-world experience. I miss the conversation from people who spend time writing system security plans, reading NIST documentation for guidance, thinking about remote management for networks that support thousands of end users, and who have to actually deal with the cybersecurity incidents that get reported in the news.

Yeah, they're just not nearly as big.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

Indeed, there's only so much activity you can expect from 47k monthly active users

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

r/collapse

Full of the most pessimistic possible interpretation of climate change events and news possible.

It's here too, but quite dead.

I miss there being a lot more Swedes around in the Swedish community. There's >100k+ on Reddit, !sweden@lemmy.world has far less active users and a large chunk of the posts are from me.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

I feel like it's quite common for smaller countries to be honest. What is the stance of the subreddit mods about promoting it? I've had bad experiences in the past about trying to promote Lemmy on geodefault subs.

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

I miss tankporn, there aren't enough images of vehicles that can kill me in my Lemmy feed.

[–] Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Tbf, most I use especially since I started ignoring news and politics... Chinese, Buddhism, art, yoga, poetry etc. Local city subreddit. Everything "humanities" is sparsely populated here even though I try my best to get the ball rolling. I still use reddit for some of this.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago
