I personally can’t wait to see communities like r/hiphopheads, r/internetisbeautiful, r/listentothis, r/battlestations… join lemmy and become as active as they are on reddit. what are some of y’all fav?
I’m surprised nobody mentioned my absolute fav /r/askhistorians
Please PLEASE get this one up and running! That place is a treasure trove of information. So much so, they should have their own website while maintaining a lemmy domain. That info should be disseminated across multiple platforms so it isn’t lost.
The mods seem to not like Lemmy specifically but I don’t know what their plan is. It seems like they’re just gonna be in this restricted mode forever. Makes it easier to leave Reddit though.
Maybe the Ask history mods don’t understand how to use it yet? This platform does take a bit of learning, but every update seems like it increases the end user experience
r/AskScience too
Ask Science exists! It’s on the lemmy.world instance
Excellent, thank you.
A lot of the broader interest subs I followed have either migrated over or have local equilvalents.
I had a couple niche ones I miss. I work in hospitality so talesfromthefrontdesk is definitely one I miss, and I haven’t seen a good version here as of yet.
Specific game subs are not as popular here yet, but honestly I am not sure how much I really need that. Rimworld is probably the only game I keep coming back to often enough to justify it, and I largely use discord for that. Only thing I use discord for really.
Some of the jokes were nice - with the best laughs coming from the replies and the bad puns.
Interesting, one of my least favorite things about reddit was all of the low-effort joke replies. I could happily go the rest of my life without seeing another pun.
Over obsessing with puns is a recognised psychological issue…
At school, I remember the time I was jealous of our ‘class clown’ who was genuinely pretty hilarious every time he opened his mouth and extremely popular (especially with the girls). The worst thing to do is to try to emulate that (go home, study a ton of jokes… I’m sure everyone did that at some stage).
I think one of the lessons I worked hard to teach my son is that you shouldn’t make an effort to be funny, because that’s mostly just four-king annoying. Since then, his jokes come less frequently - but with higher hit-rates.
But for sure, Reddit seems to have an average mentality of 6 to 12.
The worst trap to get into is to try to make jokes about unemployed people - because they never work.
Also, just to throw this out there for anyone who isn’t aware; some fine folks have made a site where you can search for communities across all instances. Check it out!
Normalnudes
IntermittentFasting
NoSleep
Written erotica, any of them.
The general “Music” and “Movie” threads because I did discover stuff on them as well as being able to suggest stuff.
But have been satisfied with some of these that are still small but growing - curlyhair, science fiction, cocktails (mine now), fermentation and sourdough. And overall happy to give up the faster moving subs and be here for the beginning time.
r/jeopardy, especially if former contestants are involved in the community like they are on Reddit.
Lemmy needs more comics
humor
r/tekken is sorely missed. Same applies for r/starcraft. I guess there is a com for StarCraft, but it seems quite dead.

Edit: also
/r/fixit or alike[email protected]/r/FindAReddit
/r/WowThisSubExists[email protected]/r/ActLikeYouBelong !!
I miss it too. There is https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
It’s not as active, of course, but that will come with time. The best thing you can do is help build the community.
Aw yes, thankyou! :)
I’m going to do my best to get /r/AcademicBiblical over in some fashion.
I liked to browse /r/cd_collectors and /r/fragrance
I liked seeing /r/witchesVSpatriarchy on /r/All, but I never really followed them.
Edit: spelling.
r/babyelephantgifs
r/hardcore, r/bodybuilding, and r/steroids are the ones I’m missing the most. Instagram is my only source for hardcore punk now. I second r/hiphopheads too! I wish I had the time to moderate so I could start them myself.
The anime and manga communities are totally silent on Lemmy. Would be great if we can have some weeb juice flowing here as well.
