I scanned quickly through the comments here so I may have missed any mentions, if there were any... But my suggestion is: there should be a master/stickied list of equivalent subreddits. So in the future, people can just google [subreddit name] + lemmy (or kbin or beehaw etc etc).
Preferably the same exact subreddit name. Or are those subreddit names owned by Reddit? Can they come after us?
Take a look at https://browse.feddit.de/
There's a auto-updating list showing even the popularity level - helps a ton finding them!
Current communities are popping up like crazy today and the previous couple days, so it's a bit to keep track of.
I'm still waiting for an SBC Gaming/handheld community and more fashion communities.
I would start them myself but ive been super busy recently :(
Waiting for the Farming and Gardening subs to move over along with prepping.
No but not a lot of people have multiple sclerosis so I undersand.
I wish there was something like AskHistorians but I highly doubt I'll ever find something that good without a solid moderation team and very strict rules. Feels like it will either be Reddit (and fuck that to be honest) or nothing.
I still can go through rabbit holes on Wikipedia at least so there's that.
I didn't think about how sad it will be to lose askhistorians π
I hate to say it but shitposts and circlejerks are a bit part of my reddit browsing to lighten the mood.
Otherwise, trash like terriblefacebookmemes and idiotsincars was great entertainment for some reason...
I don't know why I am like this.
Edit: to extend on this, seeing a post about some crazy shit play out and then reading everyone react to it is so much fun.
I'm hoping for some specific craft communities, but for now it makes sense to huddle together in !creative@beehaw.org. We do love to show off pics of all our projects though so I expect it won't be too long before it makes sense to start splitting that up.
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.
Not really, and I have low hopes of that happening, tbh.
Most communities are very low-tech, so users might have a hard time adapting to the environment.
Like for example the default search for communities should be All due to the confusion of search results only popping up with internal instance communities. I worked it out noticing no @ but most newbies will get confused and see jangled messes of community and instance addresses.
Yep, I agree. Joined through an instance run by a friend, so we might be able to tweak it locally, but unless we suggest it as a feature in git and merge it into the main built, I don't see that coming as a default setting.
A user migrated one, I migrated another. Neither have had activity worth mentioning.
There's a handful of others I used heavily that haven't though. I'm missing r/metalmemes in a bad way lol.
I'm a sucker at using the kbin / Lemmy search. I am still looking for these communities:
/r/atbge
/r/justfuckmyshitup
/r/catsareassholes
/r/thecatdimension
/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
/r/cologne or / r/koeln
/r/parents or /r/eltern
/r/djs or /r/beatmatch
/r/house or /r/deephouse
There are probably more... If noone knows where these communities exist on Lemmy or kbin, I will create them! Maybe you can help me deciding on which instance it would be best. I can do lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, feddit.de and kbin.
I found some of them:
!atbge
!kidsarefuckingstupid
!cologne
!djs
!deephouse
!housemusic
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !atbge@lemmy.world, !kidsarefuckingstupid@lemmy.world, !cologne@feddit.de, !djs@lemmy.world, !deephouse@discuss.tchncs.de
I find there is a tragic lack of transgendercirclejerk here
Lemmy is AGP anyway, real trutranners don't know what an ethernet cable is
Tbf Reddit was AGP too, real trutranners don't know what a computer is
Let us forge it anew
YTA tran bad
Not really, but it's not overly surprising really.
Most of my favourite subs are pretty nerdy, niche ones, or kinda based on a stupid joke. So the likes of /headphones /iPod /BicyclingCircleJerk may or may not make it over here.
Did you find a bicyclecirclejerk yet? Or are all the freds still on reddit
It would seem that none of their dental surgeries are doing very well, so they have to actually work rather than fuck about online.
Feels bad for them. Maybe they can only afford <10k bikes now :O
I won't feel bad for them. Survival of the fittest, isn't it? And I, on my new 25k SirVelo am the fittest, as evidenced by all the KOMs I have. (Which is all of them).
Those KOMs will only be broken by me on next week's 25k SirVelo.
I think so. Not sure if it's official - as in, done by the mods - but there seems to be a few people over there already! CasualUK over on reddit was my favourite sub, and https://lemmy.world/c/ukcasual seems to be the place to be now on Lemmy.
/r/welding /r/machinists /r/cherokeexj /r/jeep made it though (and some wrangler community... so, yay?)
Gonna be a long wait until niche communities can even start rebuilding. Probably the worst part about this whole thing.
Yeah -- its gonna be a while. Gonna post in some of the ones that do exist and see if I can help develop them.
It has, but it's quite empty yet. There are some posts, but I can seem to be able to reply sometimes. I use the "Jerboa" app and I get a "language not allowed" error. Anyone knows how to fix this?
I'm waiting for someone to re-create r/france here, as it seems you need an engineer degree to understand how to setup your instance :(
How can I create a community? I am trying to on Lemmy.ml but I keep getting an error βMatch the requested formatβ
lowercase with no special characters and you are good to go
If anyone misses /r/chapotraphouse they have their own version of Lemmy they have built for the last 3 years which should be back to being federated soon. hexbear.net for anyone interested.
