Lemmy

I'd like to see PS5, NintendoSwitch and ITManagers communities. I would start them, but do not have the time to moderate. :/

I created subs for League of Legends, Magic the Gathering, The Netherlands and EDM. Hopefully will be able to grow them if I post sometimes myself.

Philosophy, Liturature and Science subs (there are numerous).

Grimdank. I don't play it but I love the Warhammer universe.

I want to see all the niche game specific subs, or at least how they used to be. Reddit started going downhill recently, with lots of good discussion moving to discord, and subreddits just being flooded with memes. I hate searching for anything on Discord...

!privacyguides@lemmy.one also exists!

Bit of a self promo but since this thread is getting traction and people coming here might be looking for subreddits alternatives...
If you're bi or like bisexual memes, it'd be great if you joined us over at !bi_irl@lemmy.ml :)

Offmychest and advice

I def would like more activity on !rust@lemmy.ml , !uncle_bens@lemmy.ml, and !startrek@lemmy.ml.

I think an exodus to a new site allows an interesting opportunity to break from the restriction of traditions and create new communities. There's no reason the 196 clones have to be called '196'! (or worse, '197')

Art, art related. Watercolour. Oils. Sketching. Urban sketching. Etc

Cat communities are definitely a rabbit hole that is fun to go down on Reddit. Sport ones like r/NBA and r/Formula1 are some of my most used subreddits.

Easily 50% of my time on Reddit was spent on either /r/Worldbuilding or /r/GoodWorldbuilding and I'd love to see a community like that here on Lemmy. My favorite part was always the prompts and discussions which helped me further build my world and read cool details about other people's ones.

I need some more sports communities. NFL, CFB, football/soccer, NBA, MLB, Hockey, etc. A lot of the very niche ones like certain anime (r/onepiece, r/kingdom, r/hunterxhunter) or book (r/asoiaf, r/stormlight_archive) or game (r/deadbydaylight, r/stellaris, r/EU4) probably aren't going to get high enough populations to exist here so i don't expect it. But I need the sport specific ones

Self hosting

There are some subs that I'd rather see dead, and some that are just amazing, just based on their moderation and communities. r/fantasy is a shining beacon of light in an otherwise dark world, and with it a lot of the sister communities like WoT, Stormlight_archive and similar. They all have a positive feel, including and fair with just enough moderation without becoming heavy handed.

So in a sense it's not so much the content, but rather the community itself that I'd love to see persisting beyond reddit.

r/liberalgunowners and r/homelab

Most of my time on Reddit was spent on r/Rimworld, r/Huntshowdown and r/books. So, those. I'll probably engage on any graphic design and art adjacent subs too, when they pop up.

Edit: actually, I'd like to get something cleared up. Instances are akin to subreddits? Or are multiple boards inside one instance?

Final Fantasy XIV. No, you have a problem!

One for home theaters, and one for audiophiles.

On reddit there was /r/Serendipity, where a bot would would highlight a randomish post from a fringe subreddit with a little break down of age, number of subs, average comment length, reading level, then like a top of all time post, top of the month, and top of the week.

I would love something like this for instances and communities. Not like a direct copy necessarily, but a one stop place to share and cross pollinate communities. I feel like there's a ton of communities whose first hurdle will be userbase, and the easier it is for people to find and join, the richer the ecosystem will be.

For instance, I regularly used /r/hiphopheads on reddit, but it took me days to find !hiphopheads@sopuli.xyz (also, I don't know how to link communities/instances). I wonder how many of my most used subreddits have a lemmy analog that I don't know about because it's on an odd instance or something.

My big three (right now) are CFB (college football), Golf, and Warhammer 40k. I think warhammer 40k and golf could easily transition as they arent as confederated. However CFB is a pretty tight community with its own ranking polls and a ton of stuff built by the moderators and communities. That said I'm pretty sure a lot of those polls utilize reddit APIs for user verification. And that could be a real problem if Reddit messes with the APIs too much.

more animal pic subs

r/squaredcircle r/formuladank

R/German, r/ich_iel, r/justrolledintotheshop, r/oneorangebraincell, r/CuratedTumblr would be cool to see!

Noncredibledefense. There's one already but it's not active at all

I would love to see r/emo and r/mathrock here
