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.
I know it’s unlikely but ask historians, the moderation required is unreal. More realistic would be bestofredditorupdates for all the mindless drama reading.
There was some decent discussion about it, the mods seem to feel the reach is just way too small. Personally I’d love to see a curated ask lemmy instance (ask historians, ask anthropology, etc). I tried to pitch this to one of the main subreddit mods (I forget his name and can’t login to reddit via rif anymore to see, but it is something like Gregor K Rasmun (not that but starts with a G I think and had a middle initial) and we had a bit of a back and forth but seems like no dice, mostly due to reach. They do have a website and podcast at least.
Bestofredditorupdates would be great since they contain all the relevant quotes so you wouldn’t need to click back to Reddit.
Would be nice to have historyporn migrate as well
AmitheAsshole. That place provided so much idle entertainment
Disagree, I hope all those creative writing and “I did the sex” subs stay over there.
I’m hoping that without karma, there will be fewer blatantly fake upvote-farming posts.
Which reminds me that writingprompts is a another great one I’d love to see XD
Very true. https://lemmit.online/c/AmItheAsshole seems to be a relatively up and coming one?
Side question, what’s the nomenclature for referencing communities/instances? c/AmItheAsshole@lemmit.online seems a bit wordy, but the most specific
Edit: actually looks to just be bots posting there for now
Prefixing it with an exclamation mark automatically converts it into a link.
Lemmit.online is a bot instance that copies over communities from reddit, all of the posts there are just clones from reddit posts on the corresponding subreddit (without the comments)
Yeah, it’s just reposts so the OPs never see any comments here. I learned this when I blocked the bot out of irritation from reposts, and the entire community disappeared lmao
Would love if the geopolitics people of anime_titties could move over, a lot of them were supporting the protests and may have considered making the jump. Right now, the only geopolitics community that I have found has 3 subscribers… Also wouldn’t mind at some point to have a meta community aggregator like SubredditDrama, HobbyDrama or BestOfRedditorUpdates. It makes for excellent reading material while on the toilet.
https://lemmy.world/c/anime_titties has just under a thousand subscribers
Subbed, thank you
r/AskHistorians, r/FrugalFemaleFashion, r/linux_gaming, r/oldhagfashion, r/rabm, r/SkincareAddiction, r/WitchesVsPatriarchy
https://sub.rehab/ has a list of a lot of popular subs that have moved to the Fediverse!
That’s a great website. I wonder what the deal is with all the Discord communities. Not only is Discord horrible for forum based discussion, it’s probably next on this list to do a rug pull on its users.
Solid tip, thanks mate!
You’re welcome! 🤘
Would love to see /r/dota2 move, but the mods there are overwhelmingly against it, and the people are split 50/50. !dota2@lemm.ee is almost exclusively populated by me
You’re doin’ good work B)
BestofLegalAdvice always had funny commentary on LegalAdvice
Redneck engineering
Boring dystopia, lost generation, anti-money memes, class consciousness memes itp.
Surreal memes, void memes, deepfried surreal memes, 5’th world pics itp.
Furry_irl, yiff
2visegrad4u
I’m honored.
IdiotsInCars was always an interesting time
That was my favorite sub. Probably the only one I’ll actually miss
HFY. I just love the idea or rather the genre I guess? I also would love to see the old content archived. There are some treasures in there, I would hate for that to get lost.
Yeah…hoping something comes out to archive all(?) of reddit and still be easily searchable/linkable if needed.
HFY is a must have!
A lot of fandom-specific subs! With the typical main sub/meme sub/nsfw sub trinity, I’ve seen the main subs show up here with minimal activity while the meme and nsfw subs are nowhere to be seen. A lot of the big default subs have come here, but the fandom-based subs just exist as tiny communities with several thousand times less subscribers and nowhere near enough content to regularly show up on my subscribed feed.
imaginary warhammer forever
r/badmovies <- home of truly bad cult films (think movies like The Dirtbike Kid, and not just “I just turned 14 and watched Starship Troopers for the first time and don’t understand satire or who Paul Verhoeven is,” which is what the sub has basically become on reddit over the past 2 years)
r/r9k <- random gay leftist memes
r/animecirclejerk <- Anime is great, but what’s even better than anime is hating anime and the people who watch it for being degenerate pedophiles with poor media literacy (which is what most of them are).
r/trees <- weed lol
r/politics <- so that people who are too young to vote can share their political opinions while skimming the headlines and not reading the articles posted.
r/manga <- specifically links to new one shots and updates on when new chapters have posted, with discussions
r/selfhosted <- this one probably already exists in a few different places, I just need to find it.
r/comicbooks <- so people can complain about comic books while never actually reading any of them
r/todayilearned <- so people can spam mundane trivia from wikipedia you already know
r/amitheasshole <- so people who are assholes can try and convince other assholes online that they’re not the asshole in their relationship.
r/leopardsatemyface <- for schadenfreude
r/EnoughMuskSpam <- a place for people who hate Elon Musk and other annoying billionaires to gather.

I loved The Dirt Bike Kid when I was younger lol
It’s a gem of a movie. A wonderful train wreck of a film.
r/trees <- weed lol
Also definitely
r/weed <- trees lol

I need specialized communities for specific types of cat pictures. The Internet is a series of tubes and they should be filled with cats like they’ve always been.
Also game-specific subs. Those two categories were the majority of my Reddit usage.
BestofRedditorUpdates for sure. I know most were probably fake but it was an immensely entertaining sub nonetheless.
All of them :)
Lol let’s not be too hasty. Plenty of subs are terrible
