ι΄PieFedWhat subreddit are you trying to replace on Lemmy that needs pumping up?

Ideally your answer is a sub that you are currently posting to but few others are posting to.

Currently I'm the only one posting there. And have yet to need to send out a physical card. But I have hope.

I love these kind of memes and try to actively post for a while now. I need to ask my Canadian friends at one point if I can mod that community, the only moderator is absent for a very long time now..
Love your posts there. Keep it up brethren π«Άπ½
oh I loved that sub in reddit! cool beans
New sub. This one's great! My group chats are going to mute me.
As god intended.
Oh wow, I did not know I needed this in my life! New sub here.
Basically every regional community. Think towns and states. Those were some of my favorite communities to engage with
we gotta start broad and move local only as the population grows. so for example instead of Columbus you gotta start with Ohio. maybe Pittsburgh can hang out too
I came here to voice this opinion as well. Itβs one of the only things I miss about the other site. I have found people on Mastodon attempting to fill that void with regional hashtags though. YMMV.
[email protected] or more specifically (for me at least) [email protected].
And when I tried to ask for information on some treatment it even earned me a downvote. Probably by someone sorting by scaled and not wanting that in their feed or so.
This is a really good idea. Someone in my family has a rare autoimmune disease (relapsing polychondritis), for which the only treatment is a drug (Methotrexate) which has lymphoma as a side effect. It's a fairly rare disease, with only a small percent of sufferers. I should start a community for it.
Since methotrexate is the only tool allopathic doctors have, and since homeopathy is a snake oil industry, there's a lot of "word of mouth" suggestions from people who've had success from a variety of approaches, some of which work for some people, others not. Low dose Naltrexone (off label), Plaquenil, and avoiding food allergies are things doctors aren't going to recommend because there are few scientific studies in them - because, again, nobody fucking studies the rare diseases.
Communities are really valuable for sufferers of more rare diseases. I think many people casually downvote such off-label approaches because they think it's some sort of anti-science, anti-allopathic medicine wackadoo, when in fact the diseases are so uncommon they're practically unresearched and certainly no pharmaceutical companies are researching cures.
Yes! Lots of folks with chronic illness find themselves in a limbo where they can't get decent treatment or often precise diagnosis. Crowdsourcing relief has mixed results, but in such circumstances reports of rigorous trial and error with various approaches is sometimes helpful in the absence of the sort of care a lot of Americans now can't even hope for. I know this because I've been there. CIDP here since 2010.
What is CIDP?
Crowdsourcing medical assistance is entirely valid, as long as you're also seeking professional help. Medicine just doesn't have all the answers, and sometimes "this works for me" is the best advice you can get when there's nowhere else to turn.
I'm reminded of that old joke:
What do you someone who graduated bottom of their class at medical school?
"Doctor."
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy.\
Agreed.
Sucks. Sorry to hear that.
Crowdsourcing has been a blessing in my journey to relieve chronic migraine. There's a lot of misunderstanding and bad info out there, but at least it has given me options. Doctors have all fixated on blood pressure medication and abortives, which don't work on me in the former, and the latter leaves me incapacitated when they do work.
Going down the rabbit hole of online discussions helped me figure out I have histamine intolerance, which I was able to verify scientifically once I knew how to investigate it.
[email protected] is great for people missing parents. Need a hug? DIY advice? Someone to be proud of you? There's a whole group of dads poised and ready to help!

Just subscribed
Thanks! I'd like to post more regularly on my part but just dropping images from mobile feels lazy and I haven't had much time in front of my desktop to properly format posts recently. Hope to see you there!
[email protected]
A way to softly encrypt/obfuscate your handwriting. Fun to get into with friends!
this is so cool, you will definitely see me there either every day or never or maybe once in a while
Lol, I'll take it
Oh man, this brings me back. I remember passing notes in middle school in bootleg Elian script - I'm in my 30s now.
It's by far my favorite cipher because it's easy to read, it's easy to modify if someone else learns to read it, and you get a ton of artistic license with the way your letters look so long as they adhere to the basic framework. Really well formed Elian is unrecognizable as script to someone who isn't looking for it.
Thanks for this, subscribed!
Hey hey, awesome! Yeah it's super fun. And if you're good at it (I'm not) it can be super creative!
My buddies and I, and likewise those in this community, try to stick to the standard alphabet arrangement, so we can all read each other's stuff. Though we do dabble in other puzzlery, using basic Elian as a layer of obfuscation.
Welcome and enjoy!
Ahhh nice! I didn't realize this one was here too not just on reddit π
Well it wasn't until a couple weeks ago π¬ Enjoy!
Not trying to remake it, because i already have a full time job being self employee and having ADHD
I go back to Reddit weekly to check in with r/locksmith, r/lockshop, and r/accesscontrols
There's a wealth of knowledge to pull from there that Lemmy just can't duplicate right now
Most of the video game subs, BG3 is active enough, but I like Tribes and EvE online and their subs are sorta dead. I know niche titles wont have as much discussion, but representation would be nice.
Back with newsgroups the general rule was to go from general to specific. You start with a general discussion group and when discussions about video games get annoying you create a games group. If then there are too many Baldur's Gate discussions you create BG. If they are dominated by Baldur's Gate 3 you create a Baldur's Gate 3 group. If everyone is fawning over Withers you create a Withers group which of course will be flooded with discussion about the Withers' tits mod, which shall get its own group.
Meaning you should create a group when demand is there and not the other way around.
This is the best approach. I make copy your comment as a dedicated post on [email protected]
Sure, go ahead.
I been posting to my little [email protected] one for months. I think there have been under 5 people who've posted other than me in the last year. [email protected] as well, and that one I think I've been the only one to comment aside from when I asked if the community was dead lol.
Just gonna keep it going, people will show up eventually. Probably. Lol

We're going to be emulating the original subreddit, but I missed my witchy coven and recently became a mod
Idk about the apps, but on the website a direct link like that takes me to another instance, so I can't subscribe (without making an account on that instance). If you do the shortlink, it takes everyone to the community via their own instance:
[email protected]
Oh thanks! I just copied what my client gave me
Yay! So glad to have this one over here!
I'm trying to push a jump in userbase for the tabletop hobby centric communities on LW. I had modded the 40k community for a while, and just took on the tabletop minis community. I post content from blogs I subscribe to and as much of my original content as I can make, but I'd really like to see more growth as an alternative Reddit like space online that isn't as totally captured by the Games Workshop financial ecosystem.
[email protected]

[email protected]
The art share community has been growing which is great to see but still not as much traffic as it could have.
[email protected]
I took over the dead Star Wars community and have tried to shape it as much as possible towards a place online that actually talks about Star Wars rather than infighting and complaining about other peoples' taste of Star Wars.
Other spaces here like the airsoft community are pretty dead, though I try as much as possible to post when I can.
[email protected]
There is also the historical US Civil War community. I like history in general, and the U.S. Civil War has become a natural fit for me since in real life I often travel to places where I can go to related historical sites.
[email protected]
The Fallout community has taken off more than most gaming communities but still is pretty niche
[email protected]
Feel free to join us on [email protected]
Subbed tonthe Civil War forum, thanks for the tip.
[email protected] - I took it over several months ago and have tried to regularly share news that is relevant to developers and hobbyists. I think I've done an okay job, but it's still pretty low in search results when you search "gamedev Lemmy". While posts get a few upvotes, and some comments, almost no one else posts there.
The thing is, I like the Reddit r/gamedev community just fine and still visit it. I just don't trust Reddit as a company. So this is my way of trying to facilitate a healthy option, and follow the adage of "the grass is greener where you water it".
So if you're into video game development and the industry around it, feel free to join!
Feel free to promote it on ! [email protected]
Done, thanks!
Just subbed!
Appreciate it; I hope it's worth your while!
Personal finance ones would be nice
Which ones are you in? I like personal finance and am in several on Reddit, but none here.
[email protected] as your on lemmy.ca?
Anything audio related...
does that include phonotactics
I was thinking more about audio engineering, audio softwares like Reaper, plugin, audiophile setup et recommandation, etc.
Imma go through and try to post in every one I have relevant knowledge / experience in...
I need to start up a good one for nurses / healthcare workers again on this server (sh has the right vibe for it too) but getting enough people on board for that is always tough. It's good to have a vent space though because in the nicest way possible 90% of you do not understand hospital ettiquette at ALL (which like, fair, but DAMN).
you know what, I wouldn't mind a space like that for general healthcare workers or people in the helping professions. I'm in behavioral health but it's gonna take ages to get that kind of community here. might have to band together under a bigger umbrella. at least we all kinda know what DC d/t NC Bx in f/u UDS means
omg I'm a psych nurse specifically LOL
Imo you just need to set it up so it's nice and presentable and then do agitprop back in the old country when spez implements another one of his incredible ideas.
Well I am hosting the [email protected] community, we welcome you!
The ones I miss are the local city sub, haircare/curly hair, and the nonsexual nude threads, normal nudes and naked progress, and the draw me nsfw.
I just subscribed to cocktails. Thanks for putting that together.
Just subbed, I love a good cocktail. Second that it would be good to have a version of /r/normalnudes on Lemmy.
High quality gifs
Support groups are something I want to see grow on Lemmy. Anything from abuse, to mental health to chronic illness or addictions. There should also be a way to protect those communities from ableist trolls, a theoretical door so that not just anyone can see the feed. I think it's important to have that door, because there are people who no matter what you say, they will never have empathy or understanding for people going through those challenges. They will always find a way to convince themselves the person isn't worthy of empathy or respect. They will try to do harm, and so they should just be blocked out. I've sadly already encountered a bit of that on Lemmy.
But I will be honest, I don't have a plan of action laid out, I'm just throwing it out there. We saw some major platforms become null and unsafe. We should work to reestablish a safe space for folks dealing with those problems. It's even more important now while we're going through this breath-takingly crappy year. I myself do not have the skills or energy to moderate one of these groups. It would just be good to work toward having more of those here eventually.
Edit: It would also be cool if we could be more thorough about keeping out troll communities, prevent or discourage them from taking root here. For example fakedisordercringe on Reddit was a vile place. The redpill communities were bad too.
I miss the random passion of /r/CFB. It was great because all of the toxicity normally in sports was gone, and everyone was just enjoying the game and news about their teams. In the off-season people would concoct the most convoluted, elaborate shitpost for why their team is the best. I think my favorite essay was once about how the Alabama Crimson Tide's greatest enemy wasn't any other team, but the full moon, and went into a heavy statistical data dive to demonstrate how the teams few losses (they were seriously on an unprecedented run for over a decade) all came on or around the full moon. That and the team are the Tide, so of course it's the moon.
That type of energy focuses on college football is lacking in Lemmy, and I haven't found something similar here yet
Agreed. Sports is one of the last things that tempt me to log back into reddit. The sport I follow has a community here and a little bit of activity, but not enough to keep game threads active.
I miss /soccer and /MLS. The /soccer community was HUGELY international, so I got to learn all about leagues around the world.

I would like to see more rpg discussion, I like that the [email protected] doesn't end-up an D&D community like in the alien website, but I would love to see more than one discussion thread per week.
One of my favourite things on Reddit was movie discussions. I've joined a bunch of movie communities with [email protected] being the most active but I would love if more people were on it!
We're trying our best
who doesn't like movies!

Not that the subreddit was enormously active, but would love to see more folks over here instead of reddit. Unfortunately I think a lot of that crowd is still stuck on Facebook too, so thereβs that.
If this one got more activity, I could stop using Instagram completely (already dumped FB and Reddit).
[email protected] - instance agnostic link
Cool! Learn something new every day.
Communities that are mostly on meta are going to be tough to shift. One of my main ones is Electric Unicycles, which has a lot of activity over there because people rely on it for organising group rides and such. It means even the subreddit is pretty small.
I tried looking for less niche categories, like for Personal Electric Vehicles, no luck. The closest I found on Lemmy is for micromobility, but it's pretty dead.
May be too specific but have been inconsistently trying to get [email protected] going as a community to find alternatives/similar stuff to what one likes.
It's a riff on the old ifyoulikeblank subreddit without the initially unclear tagging requirements.
People comment, which is great, but few other posters.
looks fun
I was looking for something like this, thank you!
[email protected] Its hard to pump up because posting other people's guinea pig pictures is kinda weird.
Is it? I post other people creations on [email protected] all the times, seems fair as long as you give credits
I think thats different. Would you be a bit weirded out if you saw a picture of a pet you owned, that you posted on lemmy, posted on reddit?
If there are credits to a Reddit post I made, probably not?
/r/Columbus . [email protected] exists but it never really took off and has been dead for 8 months. I haven't had anything relevant to post there, but if I find something good, I'll post it. [email protected] just isn't the same.
small locales gonna take a while to launch on lemmy, sadly
Beer stuff... I've added to the 2 groups I've found here. But, a lot more activity would be great.
I still Google with a "Reddit" tag when I'm looking for brewery suggestions in a new area I'm visiting. It's pretty helpful, but, I'd like to lean on the Fediverse more.
Itβs been a few years since I slowed down with drinking beer but is beeradvocate.com no longer a viable forum?
I've never used it. I'm on Untappd with several friends.
It is viable. Still active in both the local forums and the trade forums. They removed whiskey from the trade forums, which lowered the trade activity a decent bit; but it is still active.
Thatβs fair shipping liquor is a logistical nightmare. Keeping BA out if that mess makes sense.
Thanks
I actually got bored with the beer subreddits. The beeradvocate ones were better. The local beer subreddits were useful for searches when I was on work travel, but that's it. The beeradvocate ones are just as good.
Ty. I'll look into it. Cheers!
[email protected]
Omg I've been looking for a good rat one on Lemmy, it's so hard to get a fix now. I don't have rats and probably never will but they are just the flippin cutest.
yeah, same problem here. rattit is one of the few subs that I still use reddit for.
The chaos potatos are just too cute
[email protected]
[email protected] for Tom Swifty jokes
wallpapers and even more nieche: one piece wallpapers
[email protected] and [email protected]
Go ahead and start posting. BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE BYE
Subreddit drama was pretty good for keeping track of drama in the space.
hope we don't have much drama here yet
The banned ones.
Not all of the banned ones.
Not those banned ones.
Especially not *that* banned one.
I tried to make /r/asksciencefiction around the time of the API exodus from reddit. It got a bunch of initial traffic and even got the attention of the mods of the actual subreddit but ultimately I guess they decided to stay on reddit rather than encourage people to go to Lemmy. Anyway, the traffic has slowed to basically nothing and I've kind of lost interest in moderating it, not that it really needs it anyway since the community is like 20 users per month.
[email protected]
Would it make sense to consolidate with [email protected] ?
asksciencefiction is about fantasy as much as it is about sci-fi, and about other fiction as well. it's for silly questions like "could Shaggy & Scooby have taken the ring to Mordor?" i would think that would make it a bad fit, but who knows.
After taking a look at that community, not quite since it's not strictly limited to the science fiction genre. Asksciencefiction is kind of a weird amalgam of subreddits which makes it hard to categorize. Think about the format of the Q&A sub /r/askscience and then tack on /r/fiction. It was more of a roleplaying subreddit than anything. Sometimes there'd be serious discussions, but the best replies were always from people who were roleplaying as people living in the fictional universe.
There is an on-going discussion on [email protected] about how we should maybe aim for more generalist communities rather than niche ones.
Maybe the AskScienceFiction niche could fit into the general sciencefiction community. Up to you
that's the sub i miss the most. is there any hope getting it going again?
https://lemmy.world/c/starcraft :(
what is this, 1997?
Dude pro Starcraft 1 is still going strong, Starcraft 2 came out in 2010, both alive games!
oh i believe it. it died down a lot when koreans picked up league of legends though lol. i never got into SC myself but it looks like a ridiculously fun and addictive game
I would love that here
I said this before but we need an internet friend finding community like r/makenewfriendshere and r/needafriend
I still have a few reddit alts that I lurk with, at least until we get enough activity on Lemmy on those topics:
Lemmy's good on all the tech and science stuff I like, and most of the memes/humor that I'm looking for. It's coming along on some mainstream interests, including the ones I've listed above, but still has a ways to go before the organic discussions reach the level of detail and expertise that reddit has. But it's on the right track, and I'm optimistic about those things filling in over time.
c/snackexchange
I'm the only poster but don't want to spam too much and look like a scammer.
Even though I'm probably never gonna contribute, I hope this takes off.
Anything about guitars. The most popular one has several days between posts, orhers have months or even years between posts.
It's probably the only thing I miss about Reddit.
I wish i had anything to say about guitars. mostly just speak with it and to it not about it! even this comment is kinda dumb lol
The question is asked about comms that need "pumping up," and I suggest one that is enormous in other forums, but neglected on Lemmy, which is what OP was looking for. So offering EXACTLY what OP is asking for is "kinda dumb?"
What would be acceptable to you?
no MY comment is dumb
Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding. The problem was that I mistook "this comment" to mean mine, when you were referring to your own. If you had said "my comment is dumb," it would have been clear.
I'm looking forward to our first proper mystery like The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet or Celebrity Number Six. We'll know the Fediverse has 5 years to live max when this becomes the place to post that kind of thing.
I think the 'Nicole' saga is our first instance.
And look how well it went.
EDC, I want to talk about cool gear.
I miss houseplant content
do we have a gardening subreddit? surely they also have some plants indoors
[email protected]
I need someone to start posting a lot of celebrity snark. Like, low quality mean snark about rich cunts. I in no way will contribute, other than the odd carefully rationed upvote, but I will consume guiltlessly.
Hurry, now.
I am mainly looking to fill the trans subreddit void! Reddit was a very good place to find other trans ppl and then ask questions and relay stories and such
Check out the mostly trans instance of https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/
you haven't found the blohaj gang yet? trans linux communists is like lemmy in a nutshell
[email protected]
shitty ask reddit. In this case it's called shitty ask hilarious chaos. We need more quality text shitposting participants.
Fragrances UK for your perfume needs!
China time, it's all about bad knockoff watches.
Male/masc feet pics. There is a *dearth*. And there is a silly default assumption that "feet pics" must always be female/femme and that really bothers me. Tho partly my fault for not contributing anything lately myself..
For anyone interested:

Good luck!
Thank you!
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] really needs an active user base. It's inherently international and applies to anyone in any country who loves football/soccer. There are so many things going on in the sport at all times of year, not just in season.

https://lemmy.world/c/esp32
For those rare swifties here on the fediverse we have [email protected] and a more generic pop music one at [email protected] .
For Satisfactory fans there is also [email protected]
Another /r PokemonTTRPG would be nice.
In general i miss all the TTRPG communities
I miss standupcomedy and evilautistm but I'm not running them.
[email protected] would make me happy. I know the fandom is in a bit of a slump since Gen 4 ended like 6 years ago and Gen 5 wasn't very good, but I like my horsies. And if the Avatar fandom can survive not just Korra existing but no new shows for 11 years, we could survive MLP's drought.
A lively Brazilian community would also be pretty nice. There's a whole brazilian instance (lemmy.eco.br iirc) but it's a ghost town.
South Africa

[email protected] ?
Thanks, I'm active on there it's pretty nice already. Keen to see it grow more

I miss my irreverent bantery geopolitical satire, and there's 0 chance of the Reddit mods helping the transition in any way
NFL
The divisional "(N/Afc East/North/West) memewar" subs too
Well, just my own emulation subreddit. But even on reddit it's a slow moving forum. The wish is other ppl post stuff besides just me is* all lol.
But I don't mind on my own for now, people upvote so I know they're seeing it.
Mainly I made the new community so I stop visiting reddit for theirs. I was quite addicted to reddit, quitting was tough. Don't wanna relapse.
Edit: https://sh.itjust.works/c/emulation
The only bummer is we don't have emulator devs posting here :p
+1 for the local communities and the ADHD and AuDHD communities.

and subbed.
[email protected] seems more active
There's also [email protected]
[email protected] This community was abandoned, until I decided to become mod and give it some life(Guides and posts). There was some activity the past month, still nothing like the subreddit one, and it has 2k subs.
I could post a pocketwatch lol but i cant see myself engaging in much discussion
Have you ever considered moving it off lemmy.ml to another instance? Some people avoid lemmy.ml (https://feddit.nl/post/16246531)
Also, feel free to join us on [email protected]
Yea I know about lemmy.ml, I also heard that they don't like mods from other instances to mod their communities, yet, I was made after requesting it. I could move it yea, will think and do. thanks for the community!
Sounds promising, good luck!
aww

I'm active on one but not the others, and I have a semblance of a plan.
i used to think dragons were cool before Drag came along
Still are, that dumbstick doesn't change that
Musician fan groups are pretty neat. There's probably not enough people here to recreate that yet. Heck, the biggest music groups are kind of dead.
I canβt see to find a Brazilian jiu jitsu one
[email protected]
No one seems to post much though
Thats the story everywhere. I just came over from Reddit, and I miss the active guitar forums. I checked the acoustic guitar forum, and the ladtnpost was 3.7 years ago.
[email protected]
Am I doing it right?
r/vintagecameras
I created [email protected] as a replacement. So far it's just me posting.
/r/starlink
looks like shit
I wish there was a community for Warhammer Fantasy Role Play (WFRP). Discovered it few years ago and really love the system and the lore is both gritty and ridiculous-over-the-top-fun.
