As someone with CPTSD, OCD and Bipolar + psychosis, definetely mental health subs. Particularly suicidewatch.
Ask Historians had so much high quality content and there strict moderating ensured it stayed that wau
Agreed on this, I love AskHistorians and even contributed a few times. I miss it a lot.
To everyone missing a sub: open it on lemmy and be the first!
That just doesn’t work.
There are many subs I wish they were on here and they aren’t even if there is a community called like that, because nobody is there.
Someone starts, others will follow
It really depends on the topic.
I’m really into a niche of a niche subgenre of books. The Reddit community is the best place to find out about new books and hear people talking about them to get a sense if it’s worth your time to read. I used to spend ~5-10 minutes there every day or two to find out about new books.
There just aren’t enough Lemmy users into my favourite sub-subgenre in total, and what really made the Reddit community special was author engagement, which will only happen with thousands of active users. I could put a lot of work into making it, but it’s just not likely to go anywhere and, without authors, won’t be very good anyway.
Hell, even the Parenting community on Beehaw is barely alive, and that’s a huge topic that like a quarter of the population might be interested in, and Beehaw is one of the biggest Lemmy instances.
So… maybe? For mainstream topics, sure, but niche subreddits needed a unique intersection of conditions to thrive, which Lemmy can’t (yet) replicate.
That’s why !christmas@lemm.ee exists! I realize it’s only me for now, but maybe someday I’ll have people join me.
It is hard to just start conversations on your own but it really is kind of how you have to do it.
What would be the argument? The religious side, the gifts, ornaments or…?
I’m not sure why there would be an argument at all? Most Christmas groups talk about food, music, decorations, other traditions…
Not usually a ton of actual arguing.
I did, that’s why !amiga@sopuli.xyz exists!
Education subs like ApplyingToCollege, 6thform, uniUK, SAT etc.
I’m not a full Lemmy user because these constitute my primary usage of Reddit but still come around Lemmy sometimesAskHistorians. You can still get it on Lemmit, though.
Tip of my tongue, Tip of my joystick and Sid Meier’s Civilization. The first two subs have Lemmy communities (!tipofmytongue@lemmy.world and !tipofmyjoystick@lemmy.ml) but, sadly, they lack activity. r/civ is one of the only subreddits i’m still using, because it has lots of unique guides not found anywhere else.
/r/homelabsales and /r/hardwareswap
Also the buildapcsales, gamedeals subs. Although, my wallet is happier right now.
Justrolledintotheshop
R4R (or would it be L4L?)
Liked having conversations with people from various areas. Lemmy might not have the user base for it though.
Writingprompts.
Lots of high quality written content there.
i rather miss ennnnnnbbbbby, was a real good nonbinary meme subreddit, but as i left reddit, no more :(
British panel shows
Maybe !britishtelly@feddit.uk would cover it?
Thanks!! Subscribed. Doesn’t have the panelshow lineups that the subreddit did, but has links to some decent shows.
r/ElectroBOOM which is Mehdi’s official subreddit.
One piece
r/bjj the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu sub. The community here is pretty dead
Good language learning communities, such as r/svenska
