r/electricians mostly

I'm an industrial electrician and I don't know a single soul in my life outside of my career who I can shoot the shit about electrical systems. Sometimes I just want to nerd out about it, or discuss UL and NEC codes, or sometimes just removed about old crap from decades ago you have to work on haha

The censor specific words in comments rather than just deleting a whole comment? That's some shit.

r/twobestfriendsplay, the second best subreddit for everything

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

A less specific demographic, which is a little ironic when referring to reddit. But lemmy is even more a subset of a subset of a subset of people than reddit is, and it gets a bit old at times.

Politics everywhere, and most of it is just circlejerking over something trump is doing and everyone agreeing how terrible he / his supporters / his handlers / the broligarchs are. There isn't much discourse to be had when everyone on here already agrees, and I don't mean I miss right wing voices. Just that I don't need to talk about politics with people who think virtually exactly the same as me about these things. And I'm also not an american.

Then there is an annoying flood of trans content, which is great that it has its place here, but for the most part doesn't interest me beyond a general sentiment of support for people to live their life how they wish. I want more diversity in my feed.

Not in necessarily in opinions but in topics

Specific TV show episode threads. I loved reading what people thought, things I'd missed, etc.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Same. The r/severanceappletvplus threads are amazing.

I would generally be watching out of sync so I'd have full threads to enjoy, rich content very often.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 16 points 3 days ago

I miss... the idea of it.

The breadth of the content

[–] auginator@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

My points or whatever. I used to be a huge pot head and made some content people really liked so I had some nice numbers.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

absolutely nothing.

[–] mac@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Subs/communities for actively watched shows. I find myself needing to browser redlib for insights on, most recently, the white lotus and the last of us

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

I still go back to reddit for r/severanceappletvplus.

!severance@lemmy.world is nice, but not the same.

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Diversity. People on R were less uniform.

Maybe because they were more.

When there was only one allowed opinion in a sub, then you could often find another sub with the same topics allowed, but the only one allowed opinion was another one.

r/simpleliving or, more exactly, a more active version of it since the community is there: !simpleliving@lemm.ee. And more people participating in the !journaling@sh.itjust.works community too but hopefully we're slowly getting there.

r/libraryofbabel, r/tragedeigh, and r/everyoneknowsthat. But I can live without them.

Tragedeigh gets depressing sometimes as someone who had a horrible name growing up. Libraryofbabel kinda encourages my maladaptive daydreaming and honestly creating !0x255@sh.itjust.works wasn't the best for trying to break out of my daydreaming addiction.

However I can get my Who's Who updates somewhere else. Everyone knows ~~that~~ it, you've got ulterior motives!

[–] QualifiedKitten@discuss.online 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

The only communities that I still regularly browse on Reddit are the regional communities for the place I live currently and places I've lived previously. Those seem to have little to no activity around here. I no longer participate in them on Reddit, only lurk.

r/notinteresting being everything but not interesting

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

r/countablepixels was pretty interesting too but it looks like all the drama has died out :/

Posting my depraved "performance art" and interacting with my fans in the comments

My woman trolling each other back and forth

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I still browse and almost caught myself commenting recently. I quickly backspaced and exited out and came over here where I feel safe posting comments and interacting.

the OG communities, that were banned in '16-'17 because the gop started labeling alot of platforms as violent. P45 caused so many people to be overly sensitive, that reddit started banning in large numbers to cull the herd.

and most cities subreddits have been taken over by right wingers.
