Just curious. I miss mainly language stuff, some video game communities (like RoN, KCD) and some local communities like for Arabs or Saudis (tbf those were always cesspits but I miss talking to other Arabs on Lemmy)

I’ll try to be the change I want to see. How about you?

    Investment or stock communities.

    Personally I’m boring and just invest in broad market indices, but I still enjoyed the discussions.

    r/collapse

    Full of the most pessimistic possible interpretation of climate change events and news possible.

    It’s here too, but quite dead.

      I feel like it’s quite common for smaller countries to be honest. What is the stance of the subreddit mods about promoting it? I’ve had bad experiences in the past about trying to promote Lemmy on geodefault subs.

    There was a sub i think called r/daily3d that offered a daily prompt for users to create in 3d modeling software like blender. It became inactive years ago when the moderator who offered the prompts stepped down and set up a bot to come up with it instead. It was never huge, usually 10 entries a day at its peak, but that was a fun sub to check in on every so often. Some users were really good, and before the bot took over, the mod offered prompts that encouraged user interpretation and creativity.

    Tbf, most I use especially since I started ignoring news and politics… Chinese, Buddhism, art, yoga, poetry etc. Local city subreddit. Everything “humanities” is sparsely populated here even though I try my best to get the ball rolling. I still use reddit for some of this.

    There are some great communities of obsessive hobbyists here like !Selfhosted@lemmy.world, and if you throw a brick in any direction you’ll hit two Linux nerds, but reddit has /r/sysadmin and other infosec groups that have large numbers of industry professionals - and no amount of enthusiasm can substitute for real-world experience. I miss the conversation from people who spend time writing system security plans, reading NIST documentation for guidance, thinking about remote management for networks that support thousands of end users, and who have to actually deal with the cybersecurity incidents that get reported in the news.

    There’s my list the communities I miss and it’s not even a full list. Majority of them don’t exist on the threadiverse but there are some that do but the problem there is that pretty much everything is dead/stale.

      Are you sure? It would probably work

            Reddthat seems like the better fit. I didn’t knew this instance had downvotes disabled, cool. It’s not something that would fit on blahaj imo because it’s just shitposting unrelated to LGBT stuff.

            That said I’m waiting for post scheduling feature before I commit to posting lots of stuff because the lemmy schedule site feels very unpleasant to use to me and I want something native. The lemmy v1 is still few months off so it will be a while. I’m also unsure if creating a new community would make sense because it’s a very niche and old meme so I would be the only one that posts things there from time to time. Someone would need to be willing to mod that as well and it wouldn’t be me. I don’t think it’s worth the trouble to set things up anew tbh. :x

        I didn’t ask for recommendations. I just shared what I miss and lemmy in no way will replace them for me due to low traffic like I mentioned at the top of my comment. I know those communities exist. I’m working on indexing communities for !lemmydirectory@lemmy.dbzer0.com after all although it’s behind the scenes so the current form isn’t representative of what I know of.

    Couldn’t Lemmy create a ‘Replicate Reddit’ bot that copies new posts from specific communities on Reddit and recreates them under similar communities on Lemmy?

        Most posts are also at 0 comments with 0 upvotes, because what’s the point of interacting with a post for no reason?

        Noob question perhaps, but why is there a separate instance that does this instead of communities doing this one on one? For example, Lemmy/c/nba could auto-replicate new posts from Reddit/r/nba, no?

          Most instances wouldn’t want a reddit bot using up their resources, so it would be best for them to have their own separate instance.

          The issues remain.

          Most of the posts on Reddit nowadays are low quality and/or rage baiting. Most of the users don’t want those replicated.

          And if the questions are replicated, the person asking the question will never see the comments.
