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?

    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 created mine at /c/guitars , I’m not sure if the reddit community at large will join though. I’m hesitant to push it anywhere, it feels like sleazy self promotion. I just wanna talk about my hobbies with other hobbyists, and leave all the corporate greed back at reddit.

    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.

      I’m going through my backlog rn, recently picked reading back up after college killed my voracious appetite. Currently working through my very first few WH40K books, after that I’ll probably read Dune. I’ve heard good stuff about WoT, how is it? I’ve read some fantasy staples but I’d be lying if I said I was a connoisseur. I just know my teachers in school didn’t like the author.

        WoT fans love the series and can make fun of some of the styling.

        WoT detractors have obviously read the series judging by their criticism.

        It’s kinda addictive. When it’s good, it’s great. When it’s bad, it’s tolerable.

        You really want to know what happens next…and at least you’re not starting it before it has been finished. You didn’t want to live through THOSE years.

        Overall, I’m a fan. Its a LOT lighter than Dune, which I also like, but for different reasons.

        It’s my favorite fantasy series. I highly recommend it if you like modern fantasy; you’ll notice that a lot of stuff written in the last 20 years is often heavily influenced by it. It’s also complete, so you don’t need to wait for more books to come out

        The hardest part with it, frankly, is that book 1 feels very different from the others because the author hadn’t quite gotten his feet under him. It’s also extremely long at 14 total books, each one over 700 pages. But I think it’s well worth it.

    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

    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.

    I’m missing r/Succulents, r/elite Dangerous, r/bisexual and r/watercooling. And r/MTB too. I hope some or all of those come over. Not having r/Succulents is distressing because they are a font of good information on rare plants.

    I’m hoping for some specific craft communities, but for now it makes sense to huddle together in !creative@beehaw.org. We do love to show off pics of all our projects though so I expect it won’t be too long before it makes sense to start splitting that up.

    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 :(
