I, being someone who works with computers, have had some luck with most of my favorite subs being here already.

Despite that, some of my hobby ones still aren’t here. NFL exists, but it’s the same as nothing so far. Soccer I couldn’t find at first, maybe today it already does? Also, no sign of fantasy football.

I also followed a bunch of History subs, but looks like most people in Lemmy only care about science and technology.

Tell us, what is missing for you?

    Yes but there’s only 7 subscribers and I’m the only post :(

    Then again it’s a niche community about a fantasy series, I’m not surprised it doesn’t have much going on yet.

    Most of my intrests are there and have some activity. Mainly the computerstuff and all. But others exist but aren’t active. Take for example kpop, japanese music, horses, the elder scrolls. I wouldn’t mind a community for western style RPGs as those are nearly the only games I play, with a few exeptions. General gaming ones seem too general for me, too little I care about.

    I am trying to post here, but also don’t want to spam a community with only my posts and make it looks like some kind of echo chamber. Feels like a delicate balance on the (nearly) inactive ones.

      I had a similar dilemma with the various (inactive) gamedev communities but honestly just picked one, started a couple of threads a day apart to avoid spamming, and things picked up from there. Sometimes all it takes is one person, it’s worth a try!

      So I’m using Jerboa for android. A d I click through to the list and I see, say, atheism on one of the instances, but how to do I add that to Jerboa?

      I’ve tried the search function for subscriptions too but it doesn’t come up. Am I missing something in how to sub to subs on other servers?

        Jerboa just doesn’t seem to be very feature filled yet. Atm it’s all we really have and I’m greatful for it, but unfortunately many features are still missing outside of the standard website. Hopefully with the growing popularity things will be improved more and more.

        I have the same question, I saw somewhere to put the URL into the search and wait 10 seconds, but it still doesn’t show up :p

    I’m missing witchesagainstthe patriarchy, mommit, and quilting. Everything else is here and I’m going to get more familiar this weekend and maybe start some groups

    Yes, actually. r/programmerhumor and r/anarchychess although on different instances are just like they were over at reddit.

    Not really. It’s incredibly frustrating and I’ve def lost some faith in humanity.

    I thought /r/selfhosted would be ready to jump but everyone is like “but there’s no users on lemmy” and “you’ll split the community” and “we’re going to go dark for two days - that will teach them!”

    Consequently there’s been no support for any single refuge.

    Additionally people have set up several communities here with similar names in the past but now mods aren’t responding so it’s all a bit of a mess.

      Idk which ones you’ve tried but I know there’s !selfhosted@lemmy.world

      As far as the “no single refuge” thing, I think that just comes with time as people decide “imma post in this one”. Just pick one and go for it tbh.

          If you search from your own instance, I think it only shows the subscribers from your own instance. So browsing from lemmy.ml there might be one subscriber but on lemmy.world there would be 77.

            Actually I just noticed that when you search for say, “selfhosted” you’ll only be shown results that people have already accessed from the instance you’re on. So when you search for a community, if none are shown that doesn’t mean none exist, just that no one on your instance have accessed them yet ?

      Give it time, things are accelerating really quickly!

      And for what it’s worth, people who have turned their back on Reddit and are now here, probably aren’t contributing much or at all to discussions on Reddit… So it’ll seem to skew more to voices that aren’t switching or haven’t yet.

    I hate to say it but shitposts and circlejerks are a bit part of my reddit browsing to lighten the mood.

    Otherwise, trash like terriblefacebookmemes and idiotsincars was great entertainment for some reason…

    I don’t know why I am like this.

    Edit: to extend on this, seeing a post about some crazy shit play out and then reading everyone react to it is so much fun.

    I’m still waiting for an SBC Gaming/handheld community and more fashion communities.

    I would start them myself but ive been super busy recently :(
