Personally i’m looking forward to seeing twobestfriendsplay, arkhamasylum, whowouldwin, and respectthreads, on here.
Waiting on r/linuxmasterrace tbh
If any sub can truly 100% move over it’d be one of the Linux subs, maybe then they’ll stop posting memes about how they’re posting memes on a closed source platform
Agreed. The irony is strong there lol
Non ironically, r/fossdroid would easily find a way into the fediverse
A couple of my hobbies that I’ve seen barely getting started here… photography and mycology. There’s a lot to explore in both without getting wrapped up in religion or politics.
mander.xyz is an instance with a bunch of science based communities, and they have a mycology one.
I’m actually subscribed to Mycology@mander.xyz, it’s the only community I’ve found so far. However it sounds like I need to check out the other communities at mander.xyz to see what they offer!
r/liveaudio r/mixingandmastering r/bitwig r/ableton r/ethereum
all of the Linux subreddits I browse + r/selfhosted, r/homelab, r/datahoarder.
all of these seem like easy fits for the fediverse.
There are already similar communities for the last three ones:
Not that they are the only ones, but the ones I’ve seen.
Please can we have a “BuyNothing” or “Freecycle” Comunity? One for each city/region/area would be better but If needed we could have just one where post titles contain the location (SacramentoCA) before anything else. Then sorting / Searching would weed out the unwanted due to distance items.
I feel it probably makes more sense for location-specific instances to have their own communities for these things. So for example, have a Lemmy instance for London, e.g. london.lemmy.uk. Then have ~Freecycle@london.lemmy.uk community, which is for Freecycle posts in London.
Of course anyone from other instances can join, it just seems to make sense that something so location specific should be in a location specific Lemmy instance (of which there are a growing number).
This seems way too unlikely to happen, but r/askhistorians. It’s an exceptionally well moderated (if a bit overzealous) community that allows for both the average person to ask seemingly impossible, very specific questions as well as academics to express their knowledge and passion for those very same super specific topics they find fascinating; but have difficulty finding an audience to listen to them in their day to day lives.
I’m hoping that some of the writing and image sharing subreddits make their way on here. Specifically: r/AbandonedPorn/, r/AccidentalRenaissance/, r/ImaginarySliceOfLife/, and r/LetsNotMeet/
The whole imaginary network is gorgeous. I wonder if we could convince them to work here as well.
Honestly its just my local city subreddit, and the community for my favorite 2nd tier sports team. It has barely enough users even on reddit though, so it probably won’t survive with a smaller overall user base.
I’ve seen a few people mention fighting games on here (e.g. Street Fighter). I’d be interested in that. The number of gameplay clips people would be sharing make me think it ought to be its own instance, though.
Also:
- pens, fountain pens
- mechanical keyboards
- watches
Some communities have been created for those, but don’t seem to have gained much popularity.
I’ve created https://kbin.social/m/mechanicalkeyboards, but there’s nothing there yet
How would you access this from Lemmy? Does there need to be explicit federation?
I’m on lemmy.one, and I’ve tried https://lemmy.one/c/mechanicalkeyboards@kbin.social, but it doesn’t seem to do anything but give me a 404
EDIT: Never mind, it seems something happened in the background, and the link now works for me.
Oh shit, am I a niche communities redditor already feeling anxious about losing all my anonymous internet peeps.
r/vxjunkies - Although that sub is most fun when randos stumble onto it and get confused. Which might not work as well in Federation world.
r/worldbuilding, r/loremasters
r/TolkeinFans. Discussing the legendarium on a scholarly level.
r/nsfwworldbuilding (which is a great place for thoughtful, mature, intellectual conversations about really creative ideas like quantum pregnancy and all male Orc societies … and THEN pictures of nude bee women leaking honey from their boobs).
r/magicthecirclejerking, r/linuxcirclejerk, r/whowouldcirclejerk - these subs are my go to “I need to laugh” subs.
r/AskHistorians. What can replace this awesomeness… like ever?
r/ShermanPosting. Make this angry leftist feel like a burning patriot.
r/LateStageCapitalism. I need my angry leftist anticap memes.
r/StableDiffusion
r/Swahili? It’s a beautiful language.
r/ImaginaryDerelicts… Here is a hauntingly beautiful rabbit hole for you to fall down.
r/PrintSF… it’s literally how I find new books to rea…listen to. I consume audiobooks at a terrifying rate.
r/Podcasts because see above.
r/Qubes. I like my linux like I like my lovers, paranoid and with DID.
r/HomeNetworking
r/AskNetSec and r/OpSec
r/FifthWorldProblems and it’s multiverse of affiliates, including r/MadMudMen and r/EnglightenedBirdMen
r/Daddit. I posted my “Here we are at a playground for the first time” pictures 12 years ago… I was looking forward to reposting those alongside the graduation pictures in 4 years.
r/WitchesVsPatriarchy. Yes, I’m a cishet white man, fuck the patriarchy and fuck toxic masculinity.
r/ChaoticGood. This sub makes me happy.
Is there seriously no r/WhoWoulWin equivalent? That boggles me.
We also REALLY need something like r/findareddit, if there isn’t such a thing yet.
r/worldbuilding
we have that here https://lemmy.ml/c/worldbuilding@lemmy.ml you can search communities using this link https://lemmy.ml/communities
now the only problem bring people to using lemmy
Since I posted this I’ve found that and some of the others. But man… I’m gonna miss VX Junkies.
i will miss noncredibledefence, stellaris and buttcoin too if reddit drop free api for third-party apps. and i also dont think people on that sub care about reddit drama currently
Conlangs!
A couple, I think. WoTshow is one I really liked. And exatheist is a tiny sub where a bunch of people who were once atheists of all different religions talk religious philosophy.
It’d be great to have an actual place that isn’t just Christians screaming that LGTBQ+ people are of the devil and need to burn, and at the same time not have edgelord atheists decrying that they have figured out everything and are smarter than everyone else
Bingo. That’s what r/exatheist is for me. Both extremes usually get talked down by the mods who tend to be fairly even-keel. Slightly undermoderated (both sides get away with just enough to not feel like anyone is getting stifled… as long as they don’t go full-insult)
The other sub I like (but only lurk) is radicalchristian. I’m not Christian, but I love the way they look at the world and their religion.
In that regard, /r/radicalchristianity would be a good one, as they’re lefty Christians (you know, like Jesus himself!)
Yes! WotShow and LOTR_on_Prime. I feel like I’m the only one who liked both shows haha
And exatheist does sound interesting
r/NixOS
Forgot about Hydrohomies too
Great call! Just made one @Tardigrades
Star trek and startrekmemes
Also r/DatalsBeautiful
