I, being someone who works with computers, have had some luck with most of my favorite subs being here already.

Despite that, some of my hobby ones still aren’t here. NFL exists, but it’s the same as nothing so far. Soccer I couldn’t find at first, maybe today it already does? Also, no sign of fantasy football.

I also followed a bunch of History subs, but looks like most people in Lemmy only care about science and technology.

Tell us, what is missing for you?

    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.

            Yeah its all a bit confusing.

            Say, you find an entry in https://beehaw.org/c/creative that you like and you’d like to subscribe to the whole community.

            IF someone in your home instance (lemmy.ml) has already added …creative, you can just search for it in “communities” and you can then open and subscribe on the righthand side.

            IF however you are the first in your home instance to access it, then you have to add it manually.

            I do the following (someone more experience may enlighten us if there’s a better way):

            • Use https://browse.feddit.de/ to find the community or just copy the link of the main community (in this case https://beehaw.org/c/creative)

            • Be logged in in your homeinstance, click on the magnifying glass top right to search and then paste the link and search. The community will show up as a link and you can go there and subscribe.

            Edited for some clarity.

              This is probably the most succinct explanation of how to add comms that are outside of your home instance that I’ve come across, good stuff!

              You should see if you can get this pinned somewhere more visible I think it’d help a lot of Reddit refugees

      I feel you on the mental health getting in the way of the gym. I’ve recently started getting back into share due to improving my mental health and I’m kicking myself for not going back sooner.

      I’m hoping some more niche hobby/profession communities will come over soon. If not I may have to start one and that’s a scary thought.

        I’m not sure I’m feeling the mental health benefits yet (today I did get an endorphin rush however, first time in a while), but I’ve been back for a very short time. Dealing with some injuries and post covid symptoms now, mostly endurance related, as well, which hasn’t been fun but eh, I’ve been worse. At the very least I’ve gone down a few sizes and look okay in most of my wardrobe. Though I will say, I did miss pull day.

        Agree on the scary thoughts. I’m not much of a social person and have committment issues, I’d be a terrible mod, lol.

          Yeah it took a little while to feel the mental health benefits, basically once I also fixed my sleep schedule. But the hardest part was sticking to it earlier on.

          I’ve only been working out again for a couple months and I usually focus on body weight stuff and cardio. I’ve never been big on getting swoll just filled out of that makes sense.

          I’ve definitely got some old injuries that like to make things tough but I just remember the physical therapy I had to do for them and add those exercises back into the mix.

        Start it, it helps with the user migration when potential new sign ups visit lemmy for the first time, someone will probably offer to moderate it on your behalf in the future

      There’s also Beehaw’s new writing community which just opened, !writing@beehaw.org

      Not specific to writing prompts, but there’s at least one prompt that’s been posted, and there’s discussion about creating a regular writing prompts thread as well.

    Niche anime communities. So far, it’s just Bocchi the Rock that has a separate community from the Anime community in lemmy.ml. I need my Re:Zero, KonoSuba, Kaguya-Sama, Classroom of the Elite, Call of the Night etc. I hope with more people coming in, it would been the flourishing of an entire anime ecosystem here in Reddit (probably one instance for anime solely?)

      Same here. There’s some anime and manga subs I’m going to miss. Guess animelist and mangadex comment sections will have to do for now sadly.

      We have a more of a general Anime & Pics community at /c/animepics@reddthat.com While we don’t focus on purely anime, it is welcome to all types of content. Anime, Manga, Manwha, Screenshots of episodes, your favorite memes, etc

    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’m going through my backlog rn, recently picked reading back up after college killed my voracious appetite. Currently working through my very first few WH40K books, after that I’ll probably read Dune. I’ve heard good stuff about WoT, how is it? I’ve read some fantasy staples but I’d be lying if I said I was a connoisseur. I just know my teachers in school didn’t like the author.

      • becomingstrangely@vlemmy.net

        WoT fans love the series and can make fun of some of the styling.

        WoT detractors have obviously read the series judging by their criticism.

        It’s kinda addictive. When it’s good, it’s great. When it’s bad, it’s tolerable.

        You really want to know what happens next…and at least you’re not starting it before it has been finished. You didn’t want to live through THOSE years.

        Overall, I’m a fan. Its a LOT lighter than Dune, which I also like, but for different reasons.

        It’s my favorite fantasy series. I highly recommend it if you like modern fantasy; you’ll notice that a lot of stuff written in the last 20 years is often heavily influenced by it. It’s also complete, so you don’t need to wait for more books to come out

        The hardest part with it, frankly, is that book 1 feels very different from the others because the author hadn’t quite gotten his feet under him. It’s also extremely long at 14 total books, each one over 700 pages. But I think it’s well worth it.

    I’d like to have a logo edit / sbubby sub.

    Also, some niche ones that aren’t there yet (AFAIK):

    buildapc : PC building help

    SavageGarden / carnivorousplants: subs aimed towards tending bug-eating plants

    hardwaregore / firmwaregore / softwaregore / technope : subs based around faulty hardware and firmware, sometimes destroyed hardware, or badly designed software

    cablefail : pictures of bad cable management and the chaos of cabling in general

    itsaunixsystem : sub based on overly fake or wrong tech in the media

    PBSOD : faulty kiosks and such displaying error messages in the open

    spicypillows / spicybricks : sub based on the pictures of swollen batteries of any kind, with the “bricks” being UPS batteries

    dankpods / battrees : Australian youtuber who yells at several portable music gadgets and headphones, the battrees one being pictures of off-brand batteries, mostly PKCell batteries, but can also be several others as well.

    techsupportmacgyver : instances of crazy fixes that ended up working

    termux : sub for the Termux project

    ITRage (likely a replacement for iiiiiiitttttttttttt) : information technology-related rage posts

    headphones : not sure if there’s a sub there for headphones and IEM related stuff so I guess there could be one.

    justrolledintotheshop : automotive repair shop employee’s findings when working on vehicles

    Another, much more niche music, streaming and TV-related:

    kpop : for Korean music news and updates, discussion (with objective viewpoint)

    kdrama : news and updates about Korean drama series, reviews, discussion

    kdramarecommends : recommendations for Korean drama series

    trigger (or maybe studiotrigger) : discussion and updates on anime made by Studio Trigger

    webtoons : webtoon series discussion

    animemusic : sharing music featured in anime series

    This all I could get from the top of my head currently.

      Oh man I LOVE sbubby, I’m crossing all my fingers and toes that we get an equivalent here!

      I think I saw a headphones community when I was browsing earlier. I’ll have another look for it when I’m back at my pc

      edit: !headphones@lemmy.film - looks like it’s just started up, maybe you can help it along?

    Game-specific subreddits (i.e., LegendsofRuneterra, PathofChampions, CustomLoR, MagicArena, leagueoflegends, starcraft, Factorio, LastEpoch, ftlgame). Warframe@dormi.zone looks good.

    Franchise-specific subreddits like Batman. !star_wars@lemmy.world looks good.

    Entertainment (i.e., Showerthoughts, oddlysatisfying, interestingasfuck, DesignDesign, EngineeringPorn, OldSchoolCool).

    Niche art (i.e., PixelArt, RetroFuturism, cassettefuturism, TheNightFeeling).

    I expect the first two categories (where I commented most) to be the slowest to move here.

      I too wish the game specific subs migrated. Like Forza subs

      • r/forza
      • r/ForzaHorizon
      • r/ForzaOpenTunes
        GI subs
      • r/Genshin_Impact
      • r/Genshin_Lore
      • r/GenshinImpactTips Destiny subs
      • r/destiny’s
      • r/DestinyFashion
      • r/DestinyLore
      • r/DestinyMemes
      • r/DestinyTheGame DRG sub
      • r/DeepRockGalactic

      Also miss the anime subs. /c/anime looks like it could grow into r/anime. But others like

      • r/absolutelynotanimeirl
      • r/animeirl
      • r/anime_irl
      • r/Animewallpaper
        don’t have lemmy equivalents at the moment.
