Welp it's July 1st, and I actually had to move from lemmy.world over to lem.ee because that instance is being verryyy overloaded right now, lol.

I'm very new to Lemmy too and I already adore it. I'm really hoping to see lots of the Linux related subs become more prominent over here.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen Lostgeneration on here

Right now I wish all my game subs would recreate on Lemmy. I used Reddit mostly for entertainment, and getting info on games that I'm currently playing is actually what got me into Reddit for the first time.

I miss:

r/abrathatfits - those folks took it to 11 for helping people find the best fitting bras - no matter your shape, size or orientation.

r/makeupaddiction - as someone who constantly feels like they’re putting on greasepaint and not makeup, the sub was great for helping people get their cosmetics game on

r/skincareaddiction. - a great sub for anyone struggling with skin issues

r/haircarescience - another great sub to help people with all their hair struggles

r/loseit, r/cico, r/1200isplenty, and the more discrete offshoots - great for helping me structure dietary goals.

r/hysterectomy, r/diabetes - because support groups matter (and I didn’t find the Hystersisters very supportive when I first went there, years ago).

r/volumeeating, r/eatcheaply and healthfully - lovely food “hacks”

r/criticalrole (I do hope that we regenerate with Lemmy.world as I believe there is a community of Critters there).

r/aquariums - I used to have an aquarium when I was younger. I always wanted one as an adult, but I have to suffice by living vicariously through other enthusiasts.

r/superbowls - because: owls and because it’s fun to watch the American football enthusiasts get “lost" in January.

There are others (I subscribed to almost 250 subreddits), but I can’t remember them off-hand.

I have already found a lot of the same communities here on Lemmy. I am hoping to find new things that I didn't even know was out there. I would suggest scrolling All and subscribing to things that interest you.

Vinyl Releases and Vinyl Deals. My wallet wants both of them to stay behind though.

r/selfhosted Seems like they should be on board with moving to something open, but hasn't happened yet

[–] Fractalfarmer@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

I'll miss the breaking mom / broken mom communities

[–] Owell1984@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

r/linux r/linuxquestions

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 1 points 1 year ago

The community I use most and the only one I still visit reddit for is r/hockey. There are a couple of hockey communities here, but they aren't active enough for them to even show up in my home page.

Unfortunately they were very vocally against a blackout, and they seemed to think all the complaints against reddit were stupid/overblown. So I doubt the users will move here.

[–] johnthedoe@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I miss starterpacks, Hydro homies and the steam deck subs. Some of these are set up but the communities aren’t very active yet

[–] Lotsen@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Redneckengineering, unket, middlyinteresring, odly satisfying, swedish problems,

[–] TheSacredOne@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I'd love to see r/techsupportgore, r/spicypillows, and r/redneckengineering

[–] atan@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

r/techno r/propertechno r/theoverload always on the lookout for new music recommendations, also tips for getting into Berghain.

r/snowboarding not so much in the off-season, but hopefully there will be something in the Fediverse when the season starts....

More than migrate, I want to see the content build. Much of my browsing was looking through obscure threads (in askreddit for example creepiest things online, scariest this, etc. ) and reading comments.

TBH, none of them. Reddit has has a lot of time to make sure the communities have been culled to the most acceptable to reddit's advertisers. I don't want any of that.
