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

    • r/anarchycubing
    • r/CubeModding
    • r/cubepics
    • r/Cubers
    • r/Cubinggore
    • r/NewCubes
    • r/twistypuzzles

    [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

    • r/AstraSpace
    • r/DreamChaser
    • r/fireflyspace
    • r/JAXA
    • r/NeutronDevelopment
    • r/RelativitySpace
    • r/RocketLab
    • r/SierraNevadaCorp
    • r/spacex
    • r/SpaceXLounge
    • r/StarshipDevelopment
    • r/StokeSpace
    • r/ula

    For now, I think these topics can be adequately served by [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected].

    • r/rocketlabmasterrace
    • r/ShittySpaceXIdeas
    • r/SpaceXMasterrace
    • r/SueOrigin
    • r/TEATEBMasterrace

    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

    • r/Bestagons
    • r/bradyharanexplosions
    • r/Flaggyflag
    • r/HelloInternet
    • r/HItrivia
    • r/nailandgear
    • r/PodcastPostcards
    • r/T_HIP

    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

    • r/TeslaAutonomy
    • r/teslacanada
    • r/teslamotors

    I think these are adequately served by [email protected] and [email protected]. (Thanks @[email protected] and @[email protected])

    Lesser Musk Empire

    • r/BoringCompany
    • r/Neuralink

    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

    • r/Carcassonne

    We had [email protected], but no replacement was created when feddit.de went down. Any instance recommendations?

    Futuristic tech

    • r/deextinction
    • r/fusion
    • r/ITER
    • r/wheresthebeef

    [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

    • r/JellyBelly

    Nothing whatsoever for this.

    • r/JoeyForReddit

    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?

    • r/legoRockets

    If the casual spaceflight and Lego userbase of Lemmy could be grown, this community would arise naturally :)

    • r/Penderwicks

    [email protected] would be the obvious choice, I just haven’t gotten around to creating it yet.
