Asklemmy

Welcome everyone! Just as a PSA, here's a cross instance community explorer: https://browse.feddit.de/

I'm trying to be the change I want to see in the world https://lemmy.ml/c/hydrohomies

Most of my intrests are there and have some activity. Mainly the computerstuff and all. But others exist but aren't active. Take for example kpop, japanese music, horses, the elder scrolls. I wouldn't mind a community for western style RPGs as those are nearly the only games I play, with a few exeptions. General gaming ones seem too general for me, too little I care about.

I am trying to post here, but also don't want to spam a community with only my posts and make it looks like some kind of echo chamber. Feels like a delicate balance on the (nearly) inactive ones.

For anyone interested, an incomplete list of Lemmy communities and /kbin magazines being equivalent to subreddits going to be dark

Yeah, I was quite disappointed to see that most, if not all, subreddits I follow had already shut down on Reddit. I mean, there's r/learnjapanese, r/fitness, r/iwanttolearn, r/piracy, r/nootropics... I could go on and on. I'm actually considering creating a Lemmy community in place of r/chineselanguage, since I see nothing of the sort has been created yet here. However I'm quite hesitant, since I don't really have the time nor interest in moderating a community, so... maybe I'll just wait for someone else to create it instead?

I'm missing witchesagainstthe patriarchy, mommit, and quilting. Everything else is here and I'm going to get more familiar this weekend and maybe start some groups

Haven't seen anything CSGO or CSGO2 related yet. :(

Yes but there's only 7 subscribers and I'm the only post :(

Then again it's a niche community about a fantasy series, I'm not surprised it doesn't have much going on yet.

I created mine at /c/guitars , I'm not sure if the reddit community at large will join though. I'm hesitant to push it anywhere, it feels like sleazy self promotion. I just wanna talk about my hobbies with other hobbyists, and leave all the corporate greed back at reddit.

Hi all! I'm a Reddit refugee. This is my first comment here. I think I'm gonna lurk for a while and figure out how this works

Yes, actually. r/programmerhumor and r/anarchychess although on different instances are just like they were over at reddit.

Not really. It's incredibly frustrating and I've def lost some faith in humanity.

I thought /r/selfhosted would be ready to jump but everyone is like "but there's no users on lemmy" and "you'll split the community" and "we're going to go dark for two days - that will teach them!"

Consequently there's been no support for any single refuge.

Additionally people have set up several communities here with similar names in the past but now mods aren't responding so it's all a bit of a mess.

I'm still waiting for an SBC Gaming/handheld community and more fashion communities.

I would start them myself but ive been super busy recently :(

Not really. My most visited subs on reddit (fuck spez) were Rimworld, Zomboid, Hunt Showdown and various hobby/profession subs (graphic design, illustration, itap, photography). I'm fairly confident a UX/UI sub will pop up sooner rather than later considering how techie Lemmy's userbase seems to be. Iirc there is a gaming related comm on beehaw, but the odds those three games will be talked about is rather slim.

Edit: also, Swoleacceptance. Recently got back to the gym due to mental health. Was a gym rat years ago but life got in the way.

Reddit refugee here - just created [email protected], one subreddit I will miss after leaving Reddit

I'm hoping for some specific craft communities, but for now it makes sense to huddle together in [email protected]. 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.

I hate to say it but shitposts and circlejerks are a bit part of my reddit browsing to lighten the mood.

Otherwise, trash like terriblefacebookmemes and idiotsincars was great entertainment for some reason...

I don't know why I am like this.

Edit: to extend on this, seeing a post about some crazy shit play out and then reading everyone react to it is so much fun.

For r/soccer there’s [email protected] although I’m hoping [email protected] takes off instead.

It doesn’t look like there’s enough sports related content so something like [email protected] might have more engagement.

No but not a lot of people have multiple sclerosis so I undersand.

I wish there was something like AskHistorians but I highly doubt I'll ever find something that good without a solid moderation team and very strict rules. Feels like it will either be Reddit (and fuck that to be honest) or nothing.

I still can go through rabbit holes on Wikipedia at least so there's that.

One has, but there are no posts yet I've created another, created a post and am waiting to see if others move over. I plan on giving up modship ASAP because I'm not built for that. Yet another has and there's a bit of activity.

LGBTQ+ support spaces. Lemmy has some, but not enough.

nahh. my favourite subs are the braindead shitposting ones so

I'm looking into Nostr protocol based apps like https://stacker.news and https://coracle.social

I find there is a tragic lack of transgendercirclejerk here

Not really, but it's not overly surprising really.

Most of my favourite subs are pretty nerdy, niche ones, or kinda based on a stupid joke. So the likes of /headphones /iPod /BicyclingCircleJerk may or may not make it over here.

Not really, and I have low hopes of that happening, tbh.

Most communities are very low-tech, so users might have a hard time adapting to the environment.

I'm a sucker at using the kbin / Lemmy search. I am still looking for these communities:

/r/atbge
/r/justfuckmyshitup
/r/catsareassholes
/r/thecatdimension
/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
/r/cologne or / r/koeln
/r/parents or /r/eltern
/r/djs or /r/beatmatch
/r/house or /r/deephouse

There are probably more... If noone knows where these communities exist on Lemmy or kbin, I will create them! Maybe you can help me deciding on which instance it would be best. I can do lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, feddit.de and kbin.
