I’m genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?

    If you want to see a specific community that doesn’t exist, then set it up and post some content! If you want the type of places to hang out that you had on Reddit, you need to create it, nurture it, and grow it. There’s no guarantee that Lemmy will be the place to land during the Reddit exodus, but it is a place to land, and a damn fine one at that. Putting my money where my mouth is, if you ever want to talk about calculators head on over to [email protected]

      I created and mod two subs on reddit, and I’d love to see them make their way over here, but I’ve had a child since creating those subs, and I just don’t think I have the time to do it anymore, sadly. Both subs seem on-board with the blackout on the 12th though, so maybe some of their members will find their way here. Maybe I’ll even point them here with a sticky on the 12th…

    Archery is one of the main ones I’m missing. I’d create it myself if I could work out how 🤣

    I support anything creative, unfortunately I’m not seeing a lot of that yet. I build models, dioramas, scratch build buildings, etc.

    I was tempted to start a general making community where all disciplines of making are supported, but as far as I can see on the app that isn’t an option.

    I’m on fucker with bad sense of humor (and transbian tendencies) so I frequent these on Reddit (and thus would be nice to have them here) r/196 r/traaa r/GaySoundsShitposts r/AnarchyChess r/actuallesbians

    Throw in some anarchist communities as a bonus.

    There are some subs that I’d rather see dead, and some that are just amazing, just based on their moderation and communities. r/fantasy is a shining beacon of light in an otherwise dark world, and with it a lot of the sister communities like WoT, Stormlight_archive and similar. They all have a positive feel, including and fair with just enough moderation without becoming heavy handed.

    So in a sense it’s not so much the content, but rather the community itself that I’d love to see persisting beyond reddit.
