Communities for people with rare disorders or illnesses. And plant communities for specific plant groups, so not plants in general. But most of all, i miss the fact that i could search for very specific content to see what creative ideas other people had on how to do certain things. Or people who shared many years of experience and experimenting.
r/WritingPrompts. The !writingprompts@lemmy.ml community here only has a few posts.
And closely related: r/HFY
Certain informative, niche communities like /r/neovim, /r/prequelmemes, and er, um /r/sex. I know there are comparable communities here, but the volume is missing. OTOH, everyone is much friendlier here. And, a smaller user base means our comments don’t get buried among thousands. Also, I’m really enjoying new-to-me communities /c/risa.
Centralized tv show discussions with episode discussion threads. That hasn’t happened yet :/
I miss communities that I can ask a question to. When I have a problem with a plant, or a legal issue in Japan, or a question about bike brakes… It’s nice to have someone to talk to about it that knows more than I do.
I don’t miss the exact opposite of a question being posted about five minutes after the preceding post
Yet you answered the opposite of the question being posted… Not sure what to believe
Communities for specific consoles, like r/PS3, r/3DS, r/Vita, very helpful for keeping up to date with new plugins and stuff
The ones here either don’t exist, or do but isn’t active at all
surreal memes
You wanna start it? I’ll help you gather content for it and all…that was the only meme sub I ever liked. It spoke to the inner fifth dimensional Accordian Man inside me.
I’m pretty much new to lemmy so i don’t even know how communities are made
i just searched and it looks like there’s already one on an instance
The sad, basically abandoned subs for tv shows that I never got around to until after they were canceled (shout out to Hello Tomorrow).
Some of the more niche support communities for various reasons, the ones that really only had a dozen or so regs. I hope they’ve found something equivalent to do on the toilet at work.
Hello Tomorrow was aesthetically brilliant in addition to being well constructed social criticism. It sucks that it was cancelled. I really love the mid-century futurism look and mid-century modernism in general.
I’m looking forward to Asteroid City.
I’m not sure if it’s content or just functionality. I really would like lemmy to be more Google-able than it currently is as I still don’t have a replacement for “<search term> reddit” like I did with, well, Reddit.
Also, something that will probably take a lot longer is generating content for older/dead topics. For example, my wife and I are watching The Sopranos for the first time, and I used to love being able to search for old discussion threads on each episode. Since Lemmy is much newer, discussions about these kinds of things may never happen at all unless I create a thread, and even if I do, it’s unlikely that it’ll see much discussion as it’s no longer relevant or interesting, especially as you get into more niche interests and topics.
I mostly miss my niche subreddits. If the subreddit only has 20-30 active users, that means 1-2 people hopped to Lemmy who might be interested in it.
I miss the bonsai sub and maybe the gunpla one too. I’m sure there’s others, but those two were a big part of my enjoying the other site.
Gore, I got downvoted a lot here when I mentioned it
It’d be nice if there was an IMDB forum like instance.
Vinyl Releases is the big one for me. There’s a community here but it’s nowhere near active enough to be useful.
Upshot is, it’s saving me loads of money 😆
