...still waiting for whenthe community to get the ball rolling on Lemmy

[–] lolreconlol@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The average person won't jump through these hoops just trying to subscribe to a community. I can clearly see them on a list, but still not able to join a bunch from my instance (lemm.ee). Are they too small? Nobody from my instance on them? Whatever.

I’m still looking for a true crime / unresolved mysteries community.

I used to browse /psychedelicrock , /krautrock and /nearprog fairly often as a source for new music and I haven't found anything to replace them yet.

Fighting games. I wasn't too surprised not to find communities for specific fighting games (other than Guilty Gear which I don't like) but no general community either?

A non-pornographic femboy and/or femboy discussion community (a pornographic one exists.) I'm still deciding whether I want to go back to Reddit or not and the thing that almost prompted me to go back right then and there was wanting to ask a question about fitting into women's clothes. This I think might be too niche to be useful on anything other than a big site.

Math communities for homework/excercises help.

L4L (or, R4R). It went private on Reddit and is still dark. Probably not enough users on Lemmy for it to be viable here yet though.

I didn't see any communities about manga, though I know there is one about anime.

Specific musician ones. At the moment there's a bunch of Jeff Rosenstock teases happening and right now is when I'd be going to that subreddit to see others discussing them. But it's gone and at the moment there's no replacement.

I also miss the specific opening weekend discussions on r/movies. I think there is a movies community somewhere but I've not seen it pop up on my "active" feed.

It’s the off-season right now, but I’m hoping a successor to /r/icecoast gets established by October or November. (East coast skiing and snowboarding.)

Glad that there is already !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world , but there isn't that much content yet.

PublicFreakout. I love cringing at the worst people in society

The various personal finance related subs. There are some communities with similar names, but the depth of experience is lacking.

/r/fountainpens

I'll see myself out.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, fountain pens are cool.

Scribus. I still use the open source DTP at work even if I have InDesign installed.
