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 ?
EDIT1: there are some comments with communities that already exist, check it!
OP, please don’t go making empty ghost communities based on the feedback here. That would be worse than no community at all. Communities should be created by topic enthusiasts.
Intellectually, I think lemmy already has a good grasp on topics…but I do miss the daily video content of r/crazyfuckingvideos, r/publicfreakout, and r/idiotsincars.
It’s the lack of really small, niche, but still relatively active communities that is the biggest loss for me (so far). For example, I want to to talk about Brentford FC, a tiny English football club which was only promoted to the Premier League a couple of years ago. But we’re a million miles away from that when there are exactly two communities for general soccer and one community for Liverpool FC, all three with exactly one subscriber.
Any other Bees fans out there? This Flekken guy seems pretty promising, even if I had hopes for Alban Lafont.
Lots of individual game subs
Yeah, sadly I don’t think we’re at the size required to make a vibrant community for all but the biggest games. I miss the Oxygen Not Included sub most.
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.
L4L (or, R4R). It went private on Reddit and is still dark. Probably not enough users on Lemmy for it to be viable here yet though.
I miss my guilty pleasure /r/NonCredibleDefense
Lemmy currently lacks the userbase for niche, specific communities, or subregional communities
Fingers crossed that they come eventually.
Sync for reddit will soon be linking to Sync for lemmy

I’ll see myself out.
Have you checked out !fountainpens@wayfarershaven.eu ?
I fucking love you
personally i’m missing all the horror content. there’s a nosleep replacement here that’s gaining traction but stuff like /r/wtf, /r/oddlyterrifying, /r/creepywikipedia etc are sorely missed right now
what was r/creepywikipedia? it’s private right now
Sounds interesting
pretty much exactly what it sounds like. people would browse wikipedia and post the creepiest pages they found. like, for example, the aztec death whistle.
