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 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.

Lemmy needs more comics
Some of the jokes were nice - with the best laughs coming from the replies and the bad puns.
humor
r/tekken is sorely missed. Same applies for r/starcraft. I guess there is a com for StarCraft, but it seems quite dead.
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!
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 music production ones r/ableton r/audioengineering r/mixingandmastering r/maschine
There’s 2 smaller instances specifically for musicians. I would keep an eye on their communities.
lemmy.studio
waveform.social
Both have an Ableton /c, but not much content yet
yes add to the list: r/musicmaking, r/headphones, r/audiophiles, r/indieheads, r/WeAreTheMusicMakers, r/drumkits, r/bandcamp, r/vintageobsecura and I’ll be the happiest kid lurking around here
I simultaneously want a headphones comm because I love headphones, and don’t want a headphones comm because I need to stop fucking buying headphones.
For me, sports communities. Game day threads are a blast.
So much this! Plus being able to discuss a free agent pickup or trade. I need that back.
The other communities i miss were my local state and city.
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!!

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!
The women’s communities. Everything from trollx to girlgamers to tallgirls
I also miss femdomcommunity because it’s one of the few sensible kink communities on the internet
