It’s not so much the communities as the number of posts, I open Lemmy and see posts I saw yesterday only half way down the front page.
Trust me it was worse before the reddit refugees came, I would wait a month before scrolling
yeah, that’s something that is getting slightly better over time if you sub to more instances outside.
I miss the local subs for my city and other local communities around me. They were great for keeping up with what was going on. I can’t stand all the pissing and moaning on Nextdoor. There are a couple of Facebook groups but I refuse to install any Meta apps on my phone.

The subs for games like Street Fighter, the sub for fight sticks, the kind of semi-niche gaming communities that snowballed because of Reddit’s ubiquity
Agreed. I’m really missing the Street Fighter and and related FGC communities from reddit.
Right now I am missing the hyper specific cat subreddits like catswhoyell and catsinbusinessattire. There are so many that I loved to revisit every 2-3 months and see what was there
Oneorangebraincell
I stumbled upon this one
Thanks! Subbed.
Greebles and hitmanimals are always fun too
Trade communities like construction, electricians (my trade), and oshaviolations.
I started posting to eletricians but i am the only one.
Writingprrompts. Such excellent quality content there.
/r/Skincareaddiction, /r/EuroSkincare, various fanfiction subs, /r/Medicine, and a lot more.
Reddit has SO many niche communities that have built up a fairly large amount of information over time. I’m determined to stick to Lemmy but it sucks to lose all that knowledge. It’s going to take years for Lemmy to build up.
Best of Redditor Updates 😭
/r/bestof was great. Maybe not the actual the best of but it at least had an eclectic mix of interesting comments.
Oh yes! It was my daily dose of wtfness.
The subresdit /r/frugalmalefashion was really incredie for a while there, but it thrived in users posting good deals regularly and fair moderators keeping out inappropriate content (i.e. scams, predatory subscription services, and comments like “this isn’t truly frugal!”). /r/buildapcsales was the same way
The art subs, like r/art, graphic design, art nouveau, and all the AI art subs. I was mostly a lurker on those ones but they were really great eye candy.
Also things like earth porn and the nature subs. Was nice to see cool places in my feed.
And the local community subs. I think that will take a long time to develop (if it ever does). I used to get a lot of news on city events from Reddit and without Boost on my phone I’m feeling out of the loop
Art isn’t my world so I’m sure there’s plenty more on lemmyverse.net but I do know !artshare@lemmy.world (Lemmy / Kbin) has been getting going a bit recently.
My local city’s subreddit. Someone’s made one but no one is posting. It was the main way I found out what was going on.
I think every city/location sub is like this. It’s the only one not governed by interest, but of location.
I’m trying to seed my own, but it’s a Sisyphean task. And I know the only way to really get it going is to mention Lemmy IRL.
I’m addicted to cats, so the 30000 varieties of cat subs mainly.
MaybeMaybeMaybe, OddlySatisfying, ThatPeelingFeeling, CrabCats
I miss communities sharing news about the attack of Russia on Ukraine. I was mainly browsing these subs: r/ukraine, r/ukrainewarvideoreport, r/combatfootage, r/ncd Non credible defence seems to be active but the others are pretty empty. These subs had about lets a ton of posts every day
