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?

Not yet. I really hope people start coming over though. Things like Unraid were a HUGE resource. Maybe stuff like BuyItForLife and so on.

I used reddit for crowdsourcing info on products and tech support.

Looks like it's been here for a while (worldbuilding), just isn't that active.

I've had to change my mindset; if I care about it existing, then I have to be the one who makes it. I've already created !smashbros@lemmy.world and I've become a mod for !ukcasual@lemmy.world.

I really like the poker subreddit. It's a really strange place, there's always some kind of shit post, tons of sarcasm.. people are dicks to eachother. And yet it can be a very helpful resource when the facade drops and people become genuinely helpful. Also lots of great clips from world poker events. I'm not sure Lemmy is the place for this tbh, there are many other established poker forums.

As a non American user, I recently struck gold finding r/USDdefaultism. It'd be nice if the need for this kind of sub doesn't migrate to Lemmy as well though.

Mainly specific game subs, but I could always make them myself I suppose.

Same, my favorite subs to actually engage with are the game specific subs but they don't exist here. But idk what the responsibilities of making a community is just yet. I don't want to be sole moderator of a sub I traditionally loved just shit posting in.

It has not, but im considering making a lost media community on Blahaj Zone.

Esoteric one for all of you … r/faceting used to discuss faceting gemstones. Also r/gemstones … what can I say it’s a hobby I enjoy. 😁

I'd love to see a Minnesota Vikings subreddit and am thinking about starting one but am intimidated* at being not only a mod but the top mod. I've never been a mod before and don't want to mess it up haha

Not really, and I have low hopes of that happening, tbh.

Most communities are very low-tech, so users might have a hard time adapting to the environment.

[–] RomanRoy@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I think it is just normal that it becomes filled with tech people at first. Then these people help the environment improve, new features are born, new apps and then there's a boom,
