As someone with CPTSD, OCD and Bipolar + psychosis, definetely mental health subs. Particularly suicidewatch.

Partyparrot. I just want to see more videos and photos of birds having a good time.
Like this guy.
Ask Historians had so much high quality content and there strict moderating ensured it stayed that wau
Agreed on this, I love AskHistorians and even contributed a few times. I miss it a lot.
/r/liberalgunowners is missed. I could chat about guns and simple gunsmithing, see neat stuff I didn't know about, all without the toxic right-wing boolshit.
We had sane discussions about laws and responsible ownership, stuff like that. People were kind, no judgement, unless one was deliberately argumentative and/or acting a fool regarding safety. Even then, the mods would shut down the trolls (without the banhammer!) and the community would offer advice.
It was really nice.
I miss that one too. Being a liberal gun nerd in Texas is weird. All the gun shops, ranges, and conventions are more about right-wing politics, police worship, and fetishizing the Confederacy than the hobby.
I buy everything online and have a nice FFL who I meet in his kitchen to do the paperwork. Also, I have a couple of acres of my own personal swamp to go shooting, so I avoid all the nuts.
AskLemmyAfterDark - it's healthy to have a place to have frank discussions about sexual health and safe kinkery.
okbuddyphd, shittymobilegameads, pizzacrimes, garfieldwithoutgarfield, just all the really stupid obscure ones that give me a chuckle browsing through.
Various TV Show subreddits....they just haven't made it over here yet. Personally, I'd love to see a dedicated instance for TV and movies.
I just checked them out and it seems to be focused on amateur film production and not necessarily on TV shows.
There is a HobbyDrama community, but it is rather lacking in content at the moment. !hobbydrama@lemmy.world
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !sysadmin@lemmy.world
Yes, but it's quite inactive. That community basically died shortly after the Reddit exodus. Check the stickied Patch Tuesday megathread for instance, it hasn't been updated in two months, which shows that the mods have abandoned the community or don't care - and given that no users posted there either, it seems like users also stopped caring.
Definitely, the three most are mostly missing.
I'm always surprised nobody claimed it as most of people on Lemmy are probably in tech.
Most Lemmy tech people are skewed towards FOSS, from what I've seen. Not that it's a bad thing mind you.
Linux sysadmins are just a different breed, most of their issues/discussions revolve around the choice of distro or around corporate takeovers/license changes (Terraform, LXD etc), and very rarely about actual issues (because there are rarely any issues that matter or can't be fixed easily, if you're doing your job right). Whereas in the Windows world we're at the mercy of Microsoft, and often have to rely on the community coming for feedback around issues and workarounds (cause MS support is useless), or because Microsoft is bent upon taking away choice, we've have to rely upon the community coming up with innovative solutions for various things. So yea, I really do miss seeing those sort of discussions, as they were quite helpful for my job and gave a lot of insight on different things. Even if there were no issues, just reading about different infrastructure setups and configurations at various workplaces was quite enlightening.
I see, thanks for your perspective!
What I meant, is that even if most of the people are biased towards FOSS, on 30k active users, there should be a least a few interesting in taking over that community
That sub is dead. Last post was two weeks ago with zero comments, and the one before was a whole month ago.
I always found the sysadmin sub to have an air of bitterness around it. Instead, I focused on the hobbyist tech-subs (such as selfhosted). Grated, their issues have a smaller scope, but still...
That just doesn't work.
There are many subs I wish they were on here and they aren't even if there is a community called like that, because nobody is there.
That's why !christmas@lemm.ee exists! I realize it's only me for now, but maybe someday I'll have people join me.
It is hard to just start conversations on your own but it really is kind of how you have to do it.
I'm not sure why there would be an argument at all? Most Christmas groups talk about food, music, decorations, other traditions...
Not usually a ton of actual arguing.
r/subredditdrama - hands down one of my favourite sources of reddit content. r/drama isn't my jam, way too much fascist apologia there.
r/printsf exists already but the reddit community is much more active than lemmy, I'm hoping some of the sf/fiction communities on lemmy can rival it at some point.
No worries. Discovery of new places is pretty hard and to some extent that's the purpose of this post anyway.
Even if there is a community, the pool of people providing answers in these sorts of utility subs is going to be a fraction of what it was.
Well, every now and again, someone needs to post on the reddit one saying "look at them misidentifying a thing on Lemmy".
They'll either be genuinely helpful types, and join us to help out, or they'll be "someone is wrong on the internet" types, and join us to be correct.
Obviously I have no idea if this would work in practice.
Hockey. Hockey is a huge part of my personality. I pretty much lived on r/hockey. I really miss having discussions about games, trades, players, etc. as well as sharing news.
There !hockey@lemmy.ca, but we need a lot more people there to get those discussions.
For our big list of communities in !canada@lemmy.ca, we linked the post in !hockey with all the teams. Thanks for running the community so diligently :))
It's working great. I'm really happy with how it turned out. But I think it's spamming too many posts, and there's not enough discussion under them to warrant 90% of the posts being GDTs. I think I'm gonna make a change to it before the season starts to have a once-daily post where all the details for games are in comments instead of each having their own post.
Life has just been crazy though, so I haven't been able to find time to make those changes.
/r/prisonhooch. Fucking hilarious some of the stuff people came up with. One guy made beer out of non-alcoholic beer. Another guy brewed peas into pea-not grigio. There were several people who brewed Powerade into wine. I really miss that subreddit.
/bonehurtingjuice exists on here, but it's like 1 post a month instead of an endless stream of stupid bullshit humor that hits just right.
I also miss being on a platform that has the community for whatever game I might be playing at the moment, from popular ones to niche-as-fuck. Even CDDA's subreddit is still more active on reddit than Lemmy.
