There's just not the critical mass of knowledgeable users for professions outside of programming on any Lemmy instance, from what I can tell.

I kept my reddit account for the lawyers subreddit and some of the others around the practice of law, because I like the community of people who are in the same career as I am. I also tried esq.social (mastodon, matrix, and Lemmy instance for lawyers), but basically only the matrix server gets anything close to a critical mass of user engagement.

I'm considering creating a new reddit account for sports discussion, too, because there just isn't anything like the NBA subreddit.

Yes. Medical, legal, tax are things hard to find outside of reddit. Just annoying to have to go back there.

Financial seems to be broad enough that there are other choices.

For medical chatter I would look at mander.xyz, which is science focused.

For law it’s a bit of a ghost town, but at least there is a ghost town ready to host interested litigants→ links.esq.social
