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.
I miss women centric subs, especially thes ones with a mix of posts that foster discussion, memes, and support such as witchesvspatriarchy
Best of redditor updates because I want my stories lol
Specific subs for shows because I like reading episode discussions, often someone catches something I missed that gives more context or they catch clues and foreshadowing. Theories too. Or just seeing if anyone else had same thoughts I did! I think it will be a long time before lemmy is big enough to be close to that, and will probably only be newer shows.
Also just the sheer volume of content produced every day. I’ll hold strong though and not give reddit any traffic. Reddit was fantastic as a lurker, posting most anywhere large felt like whispering into a void. Lemmy is great for actually participating, I think it will be a long time yet until it’s as fun for lurking.
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.
Lemmy needs more comics
Some of the jokes were nice - with the best laughs coming from the replies and the bad puns.

Slightly related: someone needs to organize a celebrity AMA on Lemmy to let people know that there’s a new sheriff in town (or something like that).

I miss it too. There is https://lemmy.world/c/cptsd@lemmy.ml
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! :)
r/tekken is sorely missed. Same applies for r/starcraft. I guess there is a com for StarCraft, but it seems quite dead.
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.
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!
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.

I already formed the !disneyvacation@lemmy.world a while ago but it really isn’t that active unfortunately.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !disneyvacation@lemmy.world
I’m pending subscribe now!
I don’t mean to be a Debbie downer but even I have trouble enjoying Lemmy because of some of it’s problems/quirks. I don’t think it’ll be anywhere near as popular as alternatives with those problems present. I hate it but that’s how I feel. I hope it gets better
Like what problems(network errors?), and what do you prefer?
Pages not loading or error’ing out, general usability stuff, like pictures in the feed snapping back to small/icon size causing the feed to jump around, posts opening in the same window and going back takes me all the way to the top/start of my feed, the confusion around interoperability between instances (can I just log in with my account on another instance? Do i need a new account?), etc.
I’m on mobile, so maybe that’s a large part of my complaint, but when ya come from Reddit, it’s hard to not see things Reddit does well that you miss.
It’s also very likely some of this is simply user error, I am not an expert, but I feel like if it’s confusing or not intuitive for me, then it’s probably room for improvement.
Edit: Idk what changes were made in the most recent update to Lemmy but a lot of my complaints here no longer appear to me occurring, so that’s great news!!
