As someone with CPTSD, OCD and Bipolar + psychosis, definetely mental health subs. Particularly suicidewatch.

Partyparrot. I just want to see more videos and photos of birds having a good time.
Like this guy.
Let me know if you make or find one! Sounds fun!
Why are budgies so adorable?! Best birbs. <3
I miss my daily dose of birb antics.
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.
Agreed 100%. One of the few subreddits I really miss.
Local ones. My town, my country,…
What are you waiting for?
If they wanted to do that they would have. Most purely aren’t interested in having to moderate and babysit a community for free lol.
For thing there are few moderation tools available on lemmy!
I just wish all the porn was over here.
lemmynsfw alt account + lemmit.online = both reddit and lemmy content
Divorced birds
Yes! They’re just like us (divorced). Except birds.
It looks like the bird’s wearing a tie!! That makes me so happy for some reason.
/r/liberalgunowners is missed. I could chat about guns and simple gunsmithing, see neat stuff I didn’t know about, all without the toxic right-wing boolshit.
We had sane discussions about laws and responsible ownership, stuff like that. People were kind, no judgement, unless one was deliberately argumentative and/or acting a fool regarding safety. Even then, the mods would shut down the trolls (without the banhammer!) and the community would offer advice.
It was really nice.
I miss that one too. Being a liberal gun nerd in Texas is weird. All the gun shops, ranges, and conventions are more about right-wing politics, police worship, and fetishizing the Confederacy than the hobby.
I buy everything online and have a nice FFL who I meet in his kitchen to do the paperwork. Also, I have a couple of acres of my own personal swamp to go shooting, so I avoid all the nuts.
AskLemmyAfterDark - it’s healthy to have a place to have frank discussions about sexual health and safe kinkery.
okbuddyphd, shittymobilegameads, pizzacrimes, garfieldwithoutgarfield, just all the really stupid obscure ones that give me a chuckle browsing through.
Various TV Show subreddits…they just haven’t made it over here yet. Personally, I’d love to see a dedicated instance for TV and movies.
There is a lemmy.film instance as I know.
I just checked them out and it seems to be focused on amateur film production and not necessarily on TV shows.
!futurama@lemmy.world is surprisingly active, but that’s of course only one.
r/ElectroBOOM which is Mehdi’s official subreddit.
HobbyDrama and HighStrangeness were insane rabbit-hole subreddits for me. I miss diving in for hours every few weeks and coming out learning a lot about something obscure. Or the wild conspiracy stuff that isn’t alt-right antisemetic garbage.
Edit: a bunch of the figure/collecting subreddits too. Animefigures, Comicbooks, Resinkits, Graphicnovels, even Lego. General collection/hobby-enthusiast groups are something I’d love to see flourish here eventually. There is an ActionFigures community here though!
Edit 2: !HobbyDrama@lemmy.world actually exists!
There is a HobbyDrama community, but it is rather lacking in content at the moment. !hobbydrama@lemmy.world
Omg thanks! For some reason it didn’t come up when I searched earlier but I think I might have left a “Top 12 Hours” filter on in Voyager. Seeing it now though :)
As a Windows sysadmin:
- Sysadmin
- SCCM
- PowerShell
homelab
I’ve found an instance of Sysadmin ! here, with around 6k members (at time of writing)
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !sysadmin@lemmy.world
Yes, but it’s quite inactive. That community basically died shortly after the Reddit exodus. Check the stickied Patch Tuesday megathread for instance, it hasn’t been updated in two months, which shows that the mods have abandoned the community or don’t care - and given that no users posted there either, it seems like users also stopped caring.
Definitely, the three most are mostly missing.
I’m always surprised nobody claimed it as most of people on Lemmy are probably in tech.
Most Lemmy tech people are skewed towards FOSS, from what I’ve seen. Not that it’s a bad thing mind you.
Linux sysadmins are just a different breed, most of their issues/discussions revolve around the choice of distro or around corporate takeovers/license changes (Terraform, LXD etc), and very rarely about actual issues (because there are rarely any issues that matter or can’t be fixed easily, if you’re doing your job right). Whereas in the Windows world we’re at the mercy of Microsoft, and often have to rely on the community coming for feedback around issues and workarounds (cause MS support is useless), or because Microsoft is bent upon taking away choice, we’ve have to rely upon the community coming up with innovative solutions for various things. So yea, I really do miss seeing those sort of discussions, as they were quite helpful for my job and gave a lot of insight on different things. Even if there were no issues, just reading about different infrastructure setups and configurations at various workplaces was quite enlightening.
I see, thanks for your perspective!
What I meant, is that even if most of the people are biased towards FOSS, on 30k active users, there should be a least a few interesting in taking over that community
Vmware
That sub is dead. Last post was two weeks ago with zero comments, and the one before was a whole month ago.
I always found the sysadmin sub to have an air of bitterness around it. Instead, I focused on the hobbyist tech-subs (such as selfhosted). Grated, their issues have a smaller scope, but still…
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…?
Why not just take a minute to look at the community?
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!
How do you create a sub?
You click on ‘Create Community’ in the top bar
Oh, I don’t see that, but that’s probably because I’m using boost.
Justrolledintotheshop
Thanks, but the most recent post was 2 months ago.
/r/prisonhooch. Fucking hilarious some of the stuff people came up with. One guy made beer out of non-alcoholic beer. Another guy brewed peas into pea-not grigio. There were several people who brewed Powerade into wine. I really miss that subreddit.
