Which communities you feel lemmy is lacking?

as a reddit refugee i mostly use lemmy, but sometimes i go back by a lack of alternative to some subreddit, which one you feel there is a need ?

  • I miss some dedicated meme subreddits:

    • prequelmemes
    • sequelmemes
    • lotrmemes

    They were always good for a laugh.

    Oh! And highqualitygifs.

  • Something I think is genuinely useful about Reddit that I don't know if Lemmy has replicated yet is the whole genre of "The entire world is here, someone will recognize what you're talking about" subs. What is this thing, what is this bug, tip of my tongue, tip of my joystick, ask historians, ask mechanics...I'm not sure we've established that brain trust here.

  • Lovecraft and Cthulhu Mythos

    Creepypasta

    SCP

    Web Novels

    Light Novels translation

    Anime and Manga

  • Someone did make goblincore, but it’s still mostly empty and I’m not talented enough to contribute lol

    I loved looking through all the mossy green nature pics, tiny ecoscapes, mushrooms, frogs, and forest-witch style craftsmanship from people much more creative than myself

  • An easier way to link communities. It was so simple on reddit just typing r/sub but here it's more complicated

    • As far as I can tell, Lemmy server update 0.18 will improve upon relative linking of instances so that a link such as /c/community@lemmyinstance (or the even simpler !community@lemmyinstance) will take everyone to their own instances' version of community@lemmyinstance (see this comment for a more detailed description)

  • “r/matt”

    As a Matt, r/matt was a community for us Matt’s to do what us Matt’s do. I’m a little “homeless” here on Lemmy, but I get by.

  • I used to browse /psychedelicrock , /krautrock and /nearprog fairly often as a source for new music and I haven't found anything to replace them yet.

  • Specific musician ones. At the moment there's a bunch of Jeff Rosenstock teases happening and right now is when I'd be going to that subreddit to see others discussing them. But it's gone and at the moment there's no replacement.

    I also miss the specific opening weekend discussions on r/movies. I think there is a movies community somewhere but I've not seen it pop up on my "active" feed.

    • You could always make a post on the general music communities and see if other folks want to chat in the comments? I think we just need to embrace making posts about specific things in communities that feel “not specific enough” but that have enough subscribers that at least one or two care about that subtopic of the larger whole.

    • Oh shit, I've been getting back into listening to Jeff recently.

      TV STARSSSSS DONT CARE ABOUT WHOO YOU ARRREEE

  • ...still waiting for whenthe community to get the ball rolling on Lemmy
