What is a sub/community that you wish existed (actively) on Lemmy?
Maybe there are others like you and we can actually get it running, or maybe to already exists but you just don’t know!
unfortunately the things I would most like are things I don’t currently participate in that I greedly would love to be in the loop about. so pathfinder, star trek online, and champions online.
There is a whole instance for star trek!
Startrek.website. I don’t think they have a community for the game though. Maybe ask one of their mods to create it? /u/valuesubtracted@startrek.website.
Edit: how does one tag a user?
im aware. star trek online is an mmo.
There appears to be nothing here yet that can rival https://old.reddit.com/r/advice.
Comic_Crits and ctpsd creatives. Somewhere to post personal comic art to share and receive feedback.
We don’t have enough Linux discussion
Did you forget the /s?
Writing Promts was cool
and the camouflage community (I may be very biased lol)
The one on .world just shifted to literature.cafe.
The .world one was set up by an occasional contributor to the subreddit.
Writing Prompts was cool
Well, you’re in luck!
!writingprompts@literature.cafe
They just started reopening the community, so hopefully more people will participate.
Awesome thank you!
Talesfromyourserver!
What did it used to be
!talesfromyourserver@lemm.ee exists and would need someone to start oosting content there I guess
I never actually participated in discussions on there, but r/soccer is still my go-to source for keeping up to date with football news. That’s probably the one I feel the most.
I was on r/soccer a lot as well, and considering its size I don’t know the football communities are relatively small. Also, the .world one is effectively locked for some reason.
The main community was moved from .world to !football@lemm.ee in an effort to decentralise and spread communities out instead of consolidating on .world. It’s somewhat active as smaller communities go on Lemmy, but nothing like the news hub you could use r/soccer for.
!football@lemm.ee seems to be the currently active football/soccer community on lemmy. Additionally there are club-specific communities hosted on fanaticus.social
I really miss bpt sometimes. Can’t stand to be on actual twitter, but reddit wasn’t so awful a medium to discuss highlights when I was still on the platform.
Reddit had a few really good and active lifting communities. There were interesting program reviews, sometimes everyone would run super squats together and report on the various effects of drinking a gallon of whole milk per day on the digestive tract. And I could help others join in and start lifting themselves into their best selves, since not many people in my real life circle are interested
Maybe at !fitness@lemmy.world ? I see there is some activity in there
You could try creating a lifting community on Lemmy, no? Who knows, maybe it would pick up?
UsbCHardware
Drones
Codes (about ciphers)
Regarfing drones, both !drones@lemmy.world and !fpv@lemmy.ml seem to be somewhat active
Regarding codes/cyphers, I wonder whether something like that exists and simply has an unintuitive community name… because that topic definitely fits fedi well
I can see posts from 2 months ago without scrolling down. You have a very different definition of “active” lol
I feel like those topics should be prime for lemmy. Most people on Lemmy seem to be quite technical and well educated/smart. Programming.Dev would be a good home for those topics, no?
AskHistorians
It exists but 100% not in the same form
Link it!
But not run by the people from the og reddit, so its quality I dont know
It’s quality on Reddit was from heavy moderation. It’s not that at all.
SpeedofLobster! A good lobster always cracked me up.
I grew and modded the K League (Korean football) sub previously, and I’ve wondered about starting one Lemmy. I would like one to be here so that I can can keep up with what’s happening easily, but I also kinda like not having a feeling of responsibility to post stuff regularly.
If I did start one, does anyone know if there’s any technical problems with creating and modding a comm on an instance different from your home instance?
You can only start communities on your home instance as far as I’m aware. However, you can mod remote communities. It just requires some hoops to go through. What you need to do is create an alt on your desired instance, create the community there, then make your main account a mod on it.
You could maybe start by posting stuff about korean football into a more general community, like !football@lemm.ee
Yeah, I know there’s the football one, and I used to post a bit on the .world one, but it’s a niche topic even within football, so I know I won’t get much interaction from it.
Last I heard there’s still some problems with it and I’m guessing they won’t be resolved soon, like how does moderation work if the reportee is on an instance that’s defederated with yours but not the community instance?
Your options are either to create an alt to mod (or just move to the other instance) or to start the community on your home instance.
