Just curious. I miss mainly language stuff, some video game communities (like RoN, KCD) and some local communities like for Arabs (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?

There was a sub i think called r/daily3d that offered a daily prompt for users to create in 3d modeling software like blender. It became inactive years ago when the moderator who offered the prompts stepped down and set up a bot to come up with it instead. It was never huge, usually 10 entries a day at its peak, but that was a fun sub to check in on every so often. Some users were really good, and before the bot took over, the mod offered prompts that encouraged user interpretation and creativity.

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

  • Niche committees for random movies, TV shows, games, or whatever form of entertainment. It was pretty cool having communities for The Crow, Hellraiser, iZombie, Xena, Due South (who here even knows Due South?) and basically just whatever the hell you can think of. Even specific bands, to throw music into the entertainment mix.

  • Fashion based communities like Alt Fashion, Goth Fashion etc. I think communities like that would thrive here because NSFW is kept pretty much separate from most instances, so it would help keep away the porn brain commenters and OnlyFans bots. Also things like hair and skincare style communities. You could find really niche shit like even communities for advice specific to hooded eyes.

  • Feminist slanted communities with active discussion. There are a couple of communities where probably the moderators are keeping the lights on by posting articles occasionally but beyond that, they're ghost towns. I'm honestly surprised that more people from these sorts of online communities haven't come here yet because Reddit in general likes to "both sides" this kind of conversation. While it seems generally more acceptable here to get off the fucking fence and walk around on the left hand side.

Lemmy is very poor in gay communities. There are some, but very inactive.

Couldn't Lemmy create a 'Replicate Reddit' bot that copies new posts from specific communities on Reddit and recreates them under similar communities on Lemmy?

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago (3 children)

lemmit.online does that already actually, if you're interested in it

Writing prompts. It's here, but it's unpopulated. Tbf the Reddit one wasn't super populated either, but that's where I did a lot of my reading.

r/morbidquestions. I don't think it's coming here any time soon as it's a moderation hell and lemmy doesn't seem very into morbid stuff.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I started one here, told the folks on the discord about it, and nobody ever switched.

Mind you, I abandoned the sub a ways before reddit shit the bed in '23, but it had a warm and bloody place in my heart, and some of the people there were/are genuinely great folks.

Tbh, I think here moderation would be easy enough for now. Lemmy runs higher to people that actually read community rules. And, since there's a lot less limits to what can be discussed overall, a small team could handle it as long as they aren't all in the same time zone.

But, over on reddit, automod could handle most of it anyway. Throw in some keywords, set it to filter for mod review, and you're good to go. Without that, if it got as big as the subreddit did, it could get to be a serious job.

[–] MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I was actually wondering if you're the same southsamurai from there. Your comments were always super detailed and informative. I also haven't visited the sub in a while but it did have a culture of low/more chaotic moderation which I guess attracted similar users. Maybe we could do without that here.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

That's me :)

I always tried hard to be as accurate and honest as I could be without crossing lines. I still do, though it's rare to run across stuff here that draws on the same set of experiences and reading that morbidquestions did.

The moderation actually improved a bit, imo. Reddit screwed up a lot of things, but they wiped out mods that had disappeared and got new ones in place that actively moderated. Or, that was my impression from conversations on discord and irl. I burnt out hard on the sub because of the spotty moderation, and then the api thing happened and I left reddit.

I still believe that forums like that are important. Not just as a safety valve for people, but to demystify some of the less pleasant subjects that people aren't willing to talk about irl, and when they do, it's hard to find good information. I'd love for a spot on lemmy to be active the way the sub was, and the way the discord sometimes is.

r/amogus - To this day I absolutely love this meme. I’d have posted some stuff myself but lemmy is uncool and amogus posts would get downvoted. >:c

Are you sure? It would probably work

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I would be willing to do it if the community was on the instance with disabled downvotes otherwise nah.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Reddthat seems like the better fit. I didn't knew this instance had downvotes disabled, cool. It's not something that would fit on blahaj imo because it's just shitposting unrelated to LGBT stuff.

That said I'm waiting for post scheduling feature before I commit to posting lots of stuff because the lemmy schedule site feels very unpleasant to use to me and I want something native. The lemmy v1 is still few months off so it will be a while. I'm also unsure if creating a new community would make sense because it's a very niche and old meme so I would be the only one that posts things there from time to time. Someone would need to be willing to mod that as well and it wouldn't be me. I don't think it's worth the trouble to set things up anew tbh. :x
