Any niche communities for TV shows and entertainment. Something nice about Reddit is that you can look up any random TV show, even obscure shit you watched as a kid that no one talks about anywhere else, and you'll probably find a community posting memes and fan theories and reviews about it.

It's probably gonna take a long time though because there's no exodus happening to here because Reddit banned all the TV show subs. It's just gonna probably get more political and angry here every time there's an exodus.

I think the community I miss on reddit is less and less feasible these days with anything and everything being scraped for privacy-violating databases.

I really enjoyed the small backpacking subs where people would post trip reports and photos of their campsites. Bonus if their adventure dog was also in the photo. They were very much a mix of humble-brag but also-the-world-is-awesome-celebrate-with-me positivity. There's less of that here on Lemmy. And I can't even be critical because I also stopped posting such things as much, I am way more cognizant of posting any photo, even if I'm not in frame, that could be used to identify me or be a data input to anyone's file on me.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago

I suppose that we might get software that anonymizes photos. I don't think that there are databases of anything other than facial attributes out there, so just blanking a face with an image editor today might be enough to prevent automated identification with a still photo with existing technology.

But, on the other hand, I imagine that one might combine multiple data sources, and we don't know what types of databases and technques will show up down the line.

!noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works

Mostly non-political, and pretty inclusive as long as you don't repeat misinformation or step on other people's rights.

Plane-sexualization encouraged but not required.
