I personally can’t wait to see communities like r/hiphopheads, r/internetisbeautiful, r/listentothis, r/battlestations… join lemmy and become as active as they are on reddit. what are some of y’all fav?
Also, just to throw this out there for anyone who isn’t aware; some fine folks have made a site where you can search for communities across all instances. Check it out!
I’m surprised nobody mentioned my absolute fav /r/askhistorians
A lot of the broader interest subs I followed have either migrated over or have local equilvalents.
I had a couple niche ones I miss. I work in hospitality so talesfromthefrontdesk is definitely one I miss, and I haven’t seen a good version here as of yet.
Specific game subs are not as popular here yet, but honestly I am not sure how much I really need that. Rimworld is probably the only game I keep coming back to often enough to justify it, and I largely use discord for that. Only thing I use discord for really.
r/tekken is sorely missed. Same applies for r/starcraft. I guess there is a com for StarCraft, but it seems quite dead.

I already formed the [email protected] a while ago but it really isn’t that active unfortunately.
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: [email protected]
I’m pending subscribe now!
I don’t mean to be a Debbie downer but even I have trouble enjoying Lemmy because of some of it’s problems/quirks. I don’t think it’ll be anywhere near as popular as alternatives with those problems present. I hate it but that’s how I feel. I hope it gets better
Like what problems(network errors?), and what do you prefer?
Pages not loading or error’ing out, general usability stuff, like pictures in the feed snapping back to small/icon size causing the feed to jump around, posts opening in the same window and going back takes me all the way to the top/start of my feed, the confusion around interoperability between instances (can I just log in with my account on another instance? Do i need a new account?), etc.
I’m on mobile, so maybe that’s a large part of my complaint, but when ya come from Reddit, it’s hard to not see things Reddit does well that you miss.
It’s also very likely some of this is simply user error, I am not an expert, but I feel like if it’s confusing or not intuitive for me, then it’s probably room for improvement.
Edit: Idk what changes were made in the most recent update to Lemmy but a lot of my complaints here no longer appear to me occurring, so that’s great news!!
It’s one of the biggest subs on Reddit, but having trouble taking off here.
Same thing for every single-game community. Dota’s deserted. Also things like patientgamers is lowering in activity.

Im still not clear on how you make a useful internal link to a sublemmy
