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?
Welcome everyone! Just as a PSA, here’s a cross instance community explorer: https://browse.feddit.de/
This is phenomenal, thank you for sharing!
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
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
I’d love to see WitchesAgainstThePatriarchy again! Looks like communities on Lemmy.ca are fairly easy to create. I’ll play around with it for a bit and see what it’s like.
That was always one of my favorites in my reddit feed. I hope atheist some sliver migrates.
Commenting as that was one of my favourite subreddits and would love to join a similar community on Lemmy!
!witches@lemmy.ml is a thing now!
Thank you!! Subscribed!
I’m trying to be the change I want to see in the world https://lemmy.ml/c/hydrohomies
A hero among men
You’re doing God’s work
Way to go! Just joined.
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.
Upvoted for the “fuck spez”
Would definitely be keen to see a Rimworld sub (magazine? whatever it’s called lol) on here!
already exists, but only 3 subs and no content. you can search for it here: https://browse.feddit.de/
Once you find something you like there, how do you subscribe?
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
LGBTQ+ support spaces. Lemmy has some, but not enough.
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.

Tell us, what is missing for you?
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?)
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
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.
Still looking for a r/writingprompts replacement
Even if only to read
Edit:Looks like it already exists
!aiparadise.moe/c/writing
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.
There’s no gone wild yet! Although that might a bit of a sausage fest if created rn
There is NSFW though lol
Dicks out for harambe
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.
I’ve got my politics, I’ve got my world news, techstuff, gaming & memes. I’d like to see picture subs like earthporn more populated. They’re currently pretty empty. Also missing content in my regional Austria sub but that will solve itself if the reddit exodus continues.
Agreed, along with cloudporn, waterporn, and others. I also really enjoyed the “imaginary___” picture subs, like imaginarycityscapes, imaginaryvillages, imaginaryarchitecture, imaginaryinteriors, and so on. There was some really beautiful and creative work there.
We’ve got a /c/foodporn@reddthat.com community thats starting up
We’ve got a /c/foodporn@reddthat.com community thats starting up
it will continue but probably not to the point where you’ll see niche subs getting big.
They’re heeeeeeeere…
I’m really pleased by how many are starting anew on Lemmy. I giggled like a little kid when I saw HydroHomies was already up.
I can’t find any of my outdoor communities such as r/campingandhiking, r/backpacking, r/hikingcanada, r/wildernessbackpacking, r/nationalpark
Same, looking for those, will try to make some too
Come to mander.xyz and make them. ;)
Was going to say, I joined meander.xyz as it seems to have a good mix of tech, science, and environment / nature stuff as well. When I scrolled through it was the instance that most resembled my subreddit list (except for the cats. Is there a cats instance?!)
I haven’t found one but there’s a few cats and aww like subs that have already popped up. Speaking of which, are they called subs here or lemmings or …? 😅
I think they’re called communities here but I LOVE your “lemmings” idea!
None of the No Man’s Sky subs have shown indications of moving, which bums me out. I’d much rather get my glyphs, neat screenshots, and wild speculation from a forum rather than Discord.
