Just curious. I miss mainly language stuff, some video game communities (like RoN, KCD) and some local communities like for Arabs or Saudis (tbf those were always cesspits but I miss talking to other Arabs on Lemmy)
I’ll try to be the change I want to see. How about you?
You prompted me to go through and check what I was subscribed to on Reddit, so here goes:
Rubik’s cubes
[email protected] exists, but it is pretty small, and there isn’t really a meme culture associated with it. Rubik’s cubes are very visual hobby, so perhaps this is being hampered by image hosting costs/restrictions? Personally, since I can’t post photos straight from my camera, so I haven’t bothered to post any images.
Spaceflight
For now, I think these topics can be adequately served by [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected].
We do have [email protected], but I’m keeping it on “life support” with Reddit content. I wish the Lemmy spaceflight userbase was large enough to support its own meme culture.
CGP Grey, Brady Haran, and Hello Internet podcast
I’ve made [email protected], but things have been pretty slow. It doesn’t help that the podcast hasn’t uploaded in five years XD
@[email protected] has made a nice home for [email protected]. (Psst, it’s time to swap out the pinned Cortex thread for the latest episode :)
Tesla
I think these are adequately served by [email protected] and [email protected]. (Thanks @[email protected] and @[email protected])
Lesser Musk Empire
I’ve made [email protected], but haven’t had the time to grow it. For Neuralink, might a more general community for brain computer interfaces be viable on Lemmy? I’m thinking something like [email protected].
Board games
We had [email protected], but no replacement was created when feddit.de went down. Any instance recommendations?
Futuristic tech
[email protected] and [email protected] exist, but they are pretty dead and I’d rather move off of ml where possible. I couldn’t find anything for deextinction or cultured meat.
@[email protected], any interest in growing communities for these on futurology.today?
Harry Potter
HarryPotteronHBO
Closest thing is probably [email protected], but it is also being kept on life support with Reddit content.
Miscellaneous
Nothing whatsoever for this.
Somehow, my favourite 3rd-party app still works on my phone. I don’t know how, and I’m not going to ask questions. I am sad that u/codesForLiving hasn’t made a Lemmy app. Anyone know what they’re doing now or how to contact them?
If the casual spaceflight and Lego userbase of Lemmy could be grown, this community would arise naturally :)
[email protected] would be the obvious choice, I just haven’t gotten around to creating it yet.
