What is a sub/community that you wish existed (actively) on Lemmy?
Maybe there are others like you and we can actually get it running, or maybe to already exists but you just don’t know!
I miss my cheap knockoff watch sub r/ChinaTime
Dad for a minute and internet parents! They were my favourite
modernquilts / modernquilting, I used to look in that R and ppl shared progress pictures and finished modern quilts. Was a great source of inspiration. #modernquilts on fedi/pixelfed is quite empty unfortunately
I miss national and regional meme communities such as 2visegrad4u. Cultural and historical context makes the memes flow much better.
Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game
I wouldn’t mind some of the Random Acts to come over and be more active. Even though I never used it, I always thought the idea of the Random Acts of Pizza was a grand idea for those who are in need.
/r/liberalgunowners was a favorite. Everyone was so nice and accepting. We’d answer the same noob questions all day, no problem. None of “MuH 2A!” crap, nobody bloodthirsty. Anyway, I could go on, but it was nice while it lasted.
That seems like a really important community to have here
There’s !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world, but it’s been dead for a while. I kinda miss reading those stories about assholes getting what they asked for.
Another that was fun reading occasionally was scambait, where people would fuck with scammers to waste as much of their time as possible. I don’t know if there’s anything like that on Lemmy.
A community for the car I own, no matter what it is. (With thousands of active members, of course.)
Maybe not. Lemmy is very anti-car, it wouldn’t take off here and would get massively downvoted.
I’m aware of that; doesn’t mean that I can’t still wish for it
More women-oriented communities would be great. Skincare, makeup, women’s fitness, female health, nail polish, aging. I’d love that.
Agree! I’d love to see more discussion around female health, not necessarily constructive but just bants about the ‘gross’ stuff, memes and complaints and stuff. The issue is that I’m a comment contributor more than a poster, as much as I try. So as much as I’d like to Be The Change, it really has to come from a lot of us posting and interacting.
A nail one would be great. Maybe we can make one.
All of the individual games I play and not just the general “gaming” subs. Plenty of video game enthusiasts on Lemmy; not enough to geek out over specific games. Or at least… Not the ones I play.
I also think it will be a long time before those can get up and running. There is much disdain towards video game companies on lemmy, and there is much right for it to exist. It does however make any community outside of the retrogaming hard to grow without the arguing.
This is a great reason to grow those places here, though. My biggest issue with game specific communities is the fact that the game companies try to control them. Most subreddits are moderated by the game companies, and official discords are a lost cause. We really need a neutral, public place to be to talk about games where we are allowed to actually be critical of them
Same. I miss r/OldWorldBlues and other strategy game communities. Most likely there aren’t enough people who are interested in that mod, so maybe I’ll bug the Fallout comm for that lol.
What games do you play?
I want lostmedia and unsolvermysteries communities to exist and be more active.
Ah I’d love for unresolvedmysteries to exist in an active form!
I’m very new so I haven’t explored much yet, but I wish there were more subcomminities of the communities, like for example on Reddit there’s subreddits for metal, but also subreddits for specific artists within that.
Or how there’s all the gaming communities but not many sub communities for specific games outside of maybe some of the larger games/game series.
I guess just more niche or deeper within a specific topic communities I’d say. But there may just not be enough people to go super specific with communities yet. Or I haven’t found them yet.
unfortunately the things I would most like are things I don’t currently participate in that I greedly would love to be in the loop about. so pathfinder, star trek online, and champions online.
Pathfinder has communities here. It’s just a shame that they’re not more active
yeah im on it but like even the news from paizo is not regularly posted which is like I same the minimum it needs to get any traction.
Well, maybe we need to be the change we’d like to see in the community? Idk, I’m pretty lazy and busy so if I tried I’d probably give up after a few weeks
yeah my original comment was on how im not active with them but I greedily wish there was active communities for my vicarious pleasure.
There is a whole instance for star trek!
Startrek.website. I don’t think they have a community for the game though. Maybe ask one of their mods to create it? /u/valuesubtracted@startrek.website.
Edit: how does one tag a user?
im aware. star trek online is an mmo.
To tag a user: @user@instance.tld
Some clients will start searching for users as soon as they you type the @ sign, at least Voyager does on iOS.
We don’t have enough Linux discussion
Did you forget the /s?
