Most of them exist for the most part. The problem is they’ll only have like 20 people.
Or 85 posts a day by 3 different bots with one and only one commenter.
r/buyitforlife is a treasure
It was a treasure until the people pushing their new product started posting.
But there is no new information popping up there. BIFL exists as a few individual blogposts listing all the good items, one of which is on Medium.
r/liberalgunowners
I just want to chat and joke, discuss laws and politics, see cool new builds and gunsmithing ideas, without the fucking right-wing toxic soup.
The kindness/sanity vs. # of subscribers was astonishing. Everyone was super nice for such a large sub.
Also, where else you going to see trans folks sporting their latest gear? 😆
NGL I miss it too
I’m personally a huge supporter of Pigs for Porkchops, a group where all the pigs can get together and express their love for eating porkchops
I miss the local communities. I like to keep up with what’s going on in my city and surrounding area. I refuse to install Meta apps on my phone, so I can’t view the city Facebook groups and Nextdoor is a pile of garbage.
Frost was a very good foss FB client until recently when it broke:/
We currently have everything that I really wanted coming over. Unfortunately there’s niche stuff here but there’s no one home. I was helping, trying to post in a few of them on a regular basis but there were just crickets
At first I was against the bot onslaught*, but it’s actually kind of nice being able to get my news here.
Honestly even at the levels where we’re at now I think everything is just fine I don’t need Lemmy to feed my doom scrolling and take up massive amounts of time in my day. I’ve become much more productive in all areas since leaving Reddit.

Man, I feel you
More of the animal humor ones. I mean other than some niche communities. Animalsbeingdicks, teefies, silly stuff like that. It’d be a nice eyebleach between all the news articles about war and politics.
There are many that I miss.
r/fanfiction on Reddit is a great community and I had only positive interactions with people. With 350k-400k users and there is a lot of discussions and positive interactions. On Lemmy it’s very baren.
A lot of fandom specific subreddits which are very active have no Lemmy equivalent.
I haven’t logged in to Reddit since the whole API scandal, but I miss it a lot.
If you ever find or start an r/fanfiction alternative I will post stuff there so just lmk
There is !fanfiction@lemmy.ml but the culture is very different from r/fanfiction.
There is !fanfiction@literature.cafe which has the same rules as the subreddit, but is even less active than the first options.
Edited so the links will work.
Datahoarder and buyitforlife
/r/framework
It’s the only thing I specifically seek out on Reddit.
It exists but it doesn’t have the activity/content.
It’s last post was 5 hours ago before that the was an another post 3 days ago and the content is pretty much the same as the main reddit framework sub
in my opinion
FountainPens just one of my smaller less popular hobbies. That and EDC. We do have at least an EDC channel here but it’s now near as big.
Gosh I didn’t realize that I miss that.
I used to use !fountainpens@wayfarershaven.eu but unfortunately they shut down a few days ago.
An emulation subreddit dedicated to talking about various different video games emulators and emulation itself.i might consider creating lemmy. World emulation subreddit but only if enough people are on board
I’ll join.
Alright I’m going look into creating the sub when I have the time I’ve got the description already written out
I’m looking forward to it. Message me when you got something up.
Ight will do
I miss r/Christian, there are very few of us on Lemmy, the communities seem basically empty here.
It seems like the number of people who want to have that community, and the number of people who want to downvote any post that supports Christianity, are roughly equal here.
Because most people are atheist here. Seems to be side effect of going deeper into the technology hole.
I thought they meant the name and not the religion 😭💀 (yes I’m stupid how did you know)
Not believing in religion on a site like this is kind of a case of it comes with the territory
Same for r/Islam. The couple I found here are abandoned.
Look, you’re being downvoted already, and so will I :)
why don’t you make the next Islam based sub I bet you could do an amazing job at it m8
No, I still need to learn and hope there are people more educated than in me in the matter making the community here alive.
Alright well good luck mate hope you find those people and grow a small community
I’m not religious myself but I well and truly hope all the best to ya
Thank you for the kind words and I hope you can soon become a happy grapefruit.
Lol
I think nothing can go wrong with more religious subs the more subs and the more community’s the merrier I wonder what douchebags are downvoting you though
Yeah I don’t get it. If you go on c/Christianity, half the posts have more downvotes than upvotes, and it causes a bunch of people to be inactive. They have over 100 members but nobody posting.
It’s a shame really
funnily enough the same people would probably rant on about and acceptance of others these people really don’t practise what there preach

The only thing we don’t tolerate is intolerance. There’s no problem there.
what there preaching about
Oh. And bad spelling. Read some other books.
I’m reading Lord of the flies by William Golding currently grammar isn’t really my strongsuit
Edit: also the tolerance index is a sack of shite
in my opinionif people like daryl davis can talk to and befriend the intolerant change there beliefs and make them more tolerant of other people then so can you. Your not obligated to if you don’t want to speak to or associate with that person that’s absolutely fine same applies to that person if they don’t want to associate or do business with you
When you know, you’ll know.
community’s
I just downvote bad spellers.

People here are not particularly too fond of Anglosphere due to their fetish for war and genocide. That includes Western citizens. Christianity may have born in Syria, but Anglos used it as a tool to colonise and assimilate countries and cultures.
A community for every video game. It was really nice to start playing a 10-20 year old game and still find a very active community to engage with.
I’d love a sublemmy about Rollercoaster Tycoon

Why try and copy reddit? Just let lemmy grow organically.
Whether you like the company behind it or not, a lot of fantastic niche communities found a home there, and it would be wonderful if they could find a home here too, as this platform is basically identical to Reddit with just a few tweaks and improvements.
It took them years to get to that point though, why wait for it to organically happen when we already know it’ll be successful and awesome? :-D
Not talking about you specifically, I see a lot of people that want to replace/kill Reddit and make Lemmy the next big thing, and often those same people will also not want Lemmy to copy Reddit. I find that weird, given that Reddit has been hugely successful and beloved by do many communities, so we know it works, and Lemmy is an almost identical platform, so we know the transfer/“copy” would be very successful.
I think I somewhat agree but I also have 2 objections:
I don’t think people want a 1:1 clone of Reddit. We say that oftentimes. But there has to be some reason why you’re here and not over there… Like… You can have something that is 100% like Reddit, and that is Reddit itself. You can use it. But that’s obviously not the whole story there… What differences we all wish for is kind of individual. I’d like to see several improvements while we’re at it.
And I think it’s easier said than done. We still have some moderation tools missing, UI bugs, hacking and DDoSing happen when we were growing rapidly. And like more than a thousand open issues on Github. And artificial growth can have problematic consequences. Just dumping copied content here could kill engagement. Lots of people don’t like too much bot activity without meaningful user interaction. Or we could attract mainly the toxic people that got banned on other platforms for good reasons and are looking for a new place. We’d get the more toxic little sibling of Reddit and no-one wants to ask for relationship advice if it’s mostly trolls and shitposters replying to you.
I don’t see a good way for ‘artificial’ growth. But I like to hear other people’s opinions on that.
And I liked Reddit for enabling me to talk to people all around the world and have a place to discuss niche interests. You can really tell we only got like 40000 active users here (if the statistics are right) once you start asking for advice on a niche hobby. Nonetheless I really like it here. I think we need to have some patience but we also need to do the right things (right now) to succeed.
One of the biggest things that has hurt Lemmy was all the idiots quickly making every community that ever existed on reddit, and then just expecting people to show up and do all the work while they got to be top mod.
I feel like OP is just fishing for that now. They can’t think of any that still dont exist and will create anything some one recommends.
Considering they made a post on lemmt asking about how to buy a reddit account, it’s hard to say they’re not dumb enough to do that.
Saying this is just lazy. There’s a lot of valid responses in this thread.
Lemmy could use more communities dedicated to specific games, TV series or other pieces of content.
Hahaha
Establishing same communities is not mutually same as copying over Reddit. Reddit does not have a copyright over communities unless its stormfront or jailbait.
Stormfront? Do you have objections to a subreddit that has media of cloud formations?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormfront_(website)
Stormfront is a neo-Nazi Internet forum, and the Web’s first major racial hate site.[2][3] The site is focused on propagating white nationalism, Nazism, antisemitism (especially anti-semitic conspiracy theories) and islamophobia, as well as anti-feminism, homophobia,[4] transphobia, Holocaust denial, and white supremacy.[5][6]
Stormfront began as an online bulletin board system in the early 1990s before being established as a website in 1996 by the former Ku Klux Klan leader and white supremacist Don Black.

How the fuck are you a moderator of feminism and moderate politics communities?
I’m perfectly aware of Stormfront in the broader context. But if we’re speaking of Reddit, someone beat the Nazis to the punch and reserved r/Stormfront for more benign content. Maybe do your research?
As for why I am a moderator on !feminism@lemmy.ml, it’s more of a caretaker position at the moment. I would much rather it go to a woman who is well versed in feminist thought. Moderate politics is an outpost of r/moderatepolitics, where I’m on the moderation team.
It’s not growing though lol. It had a decent amount of people come over but this still doesn’t have enough posts to keep me coming back.
I imagine this is more of a “what do you wish existed here” not a “we should immediately make these instances so that they sit in the dark with 3 subscribers until the site grows more”
Communities about sports/sports discussion. It’s the only reason I use Reddit right now. But it seems like the people on Lemmy are even more anti sports than redditors, which is quite something to be honest.
At least Formula 1 is quite active
Yes, I miss r/soccer a lot I know there is a soccer community on Lemmy, it just isn’t nearly as active nor complete compared to Reddit
I’m in the same boat. Sports discussions were the only reason I used Reddit originally
