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?

I follow a lot of niche hobby and some other communities that haven't come over yet.

A couple have started to shuffle on over but not a lot yet.

I also followed a lot (like a serious amount) of art subs that haven't seemed to come over yet. I basically followed most of the "imaginary[insert niche here]" subs.

r/historymemes for me

[โ€“] thegiddystitcher@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago

I'm hoping for some specific craft communities, but for now it makes sense to huddle together in !creative@beehaw.org. We do love to show off pics of all our projects though so I expect it won't be too long before it makes sense to start splitting that up.

One of my favorite subreddits is r/engrish. Its basically all about funny english mistakes. I couldn't find it anywhere so i just created it here and posted some of my favourites. I would love if people are intrested is post you english mistaks you find and help build out the community. Im still very new to lemmy but have been loving it.

I'm waiting for someone to re-create r/france here, as it seems you need an engineer degree to understand how to setup your instance :(

[โ€“] klangcola@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In general you don't need to set up your own instance to create a Community /c/France, you can just create it on any existing instance that allows Community creation by users. I notice you're on beehaw who have decided to limit Community creation to Admins for now.

That said, many regional non-english speaking communities have made their own instances (feddit.de, feddit.dk, feddit.ir), maybe it has something to do with limiting language used?

It's not much but it's honest work... I remember finding this sub the first time and was blown away that I wasn't alone! So I started it. !futuramasleepers@thesimplecorner.org

So far almost none of mine are on here. May have to change that.

[โ€“] sunspider@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I've had to change my mindset; if I care about it existing, then I have to be the one who makes it. I've already created !smashbros@lemmy.world and I've become a mod for !ukcasual@lemmy.world.

[โ€“] jerry@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] Cheesewithmold@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Gonna be a long wait until niche communities can even start rebuilding. Probably the worst part about this whole thing.

Game specific ones like satisfactory mostly. And AITA is entertaining and infuriating.

[โ€“] TeaHands@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

We've got !ukcasual@lemmy.world already which makes me very happy, !gamedev@lemmy.blahaj.zone is taking off nicely, now all I need is Eurovision and fantasy football if anyone has a lead on any such communities.

No and I doubt they will, I'll have to look for an alternative to get my mexican memes and news.

We are migrating as we speak onto my local instance, I suspect the larger ones may get overloaded on the 12th

[โ€“] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I didn't really have a favourite sub. My reddit activity was mostly in trans spaces, but I've got that covered here on the fediverse, because I admin a trans Hajkey/Calckey instance.

So instead, I find myself using threadiverse communities that I wasn't really active in on reddit

I'm wondering about u/poemforyoursprog. Sam has been a reddit fixture for around a decade now. I remember this one time in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table."

I think so. Not sure if it's official - as in, done by the mods - but there seems to be a few people over there already! CasualUK over on reddit was my favourite sub, and https://lemmy.world/c/ukcasual seems to be the place to be now on Lemmy.

There's a bunch of creative writing type subreddits that I lurked on; hfy, writingprompts, fanfiction, that sort of thing.

[โ€“] Trollivier@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

It has, but it's quite empty yet. There are some posts, but I can seem to be able to reply sometimes. I use the "Jerboa" app and I get a "language not allowed" error. Anyone knows how to fix this?
