A bit clichê, but all of them
…well… maybe not all of them…
The main thing I miss from reddit is communities for specific games. It was nice that, whenever I started playing some game, there would be a subreddit for it where I could get advise and see what other people were doing with the game. There are very few on Lemmy. It’s just too snall for that.
It’s doing well but I would love to see more videos without the need for YouTube.
TBH I think it needs more mods/participants in existing communities before it starts sharding into more.
In other words, it’s the same problem I observe in many software dev communities: instead of building a new wheel, it’d be better to contribute to existing ones (and facilitate that discovery for others).
And, on that note, I think Lemmy needs better default algorithms to surface them.
There is a TIFU community and nobody posts there
Seems like people on Lemmy are too competent for it :(
All of those kinds of communities, where people tell anecdotes about their lives, turned into creative writing excerises for wannabe authors long before we had to worry about AI slop. TIFU, AmITheAsshole, RelationshipAdvice, etc. were all getting pretty derivative and sensational for clicks long before the exodus. Now they’re all either that or illiterate attention seekers showing off the results of their latest LLM prompts. I liked those stories too, but I don’t want anything to do with any of those communities anymore. It all just turned into a training ground for LLMs generating engagement. YouTube still tries to force those dumb AI story voiceover videos to me constantly. We used to joke that “nothing ever happens”, but everyday that sentiment feels a little less cynical and a little more real.
I see your point, but it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact what I’ve seen here wasn’t long creative writing essays, rather, photos with a very short description. Which is what I’m after.
People still share long posts under all sorts of contexts too, and LLMs train on everything. If you are holding on to prevent LLMs training then you might as well not post anywhere at all
I’m more of a I’ve been fucking up for weeks/months/years kind of person. Problems I gave cultivated when it should have been obvious they were coming
Solarpunk and anything that is systems-minded and constructive.
I generally don’t miss Reddit, but I do miss all the art subs. All the “imaginary” subs. ImaginaryBattlefields. ImaginaryCastles. Etc etc. 80s fantasy art subs. I like having a fair amount of art in my feeds as I scroll and I don’t really get that with Lemmy. I am too lazy and distracted to create and moderate these subs myself.
I was looking for some eyebleach earlier and was disappointed to see how quiet all of the eyebleach communities are.
Data hoarding. !datahoarder@lemmy.ml exists but there isn’t much activity.
Don’t know how to link a community but I’d like more people posting on artshare and other art comms.
Also on the soulslike community :D
Edited to add some links :
You can link a community by typing ! and then the community name right after it, without spaces. I also like checking out the art communities.
Got it, thanks!
I’ve been posting things I find interesting to !discuss@discuss.online. I’m trying to grow it as a community that can have conversations about a broad range of interesting topics, without having to subscribe to a bunch of narrowly-focused communities. Think something like Hacker News or lobste.rs, but without the tech bro mindset.
Subbed, I’ll try to make sure I respond/pay attention or post something once I figure out the vibe of what is supposed to be there.
Thanks, that would be great! And even if you don’t post anything, comments are always appreciated
I’ll be that guy:
The NSFW communities. So far if I want to see anything new I’d still have to resort to reddit which also is becoming emptier by the minute, it’d be nice if we start moving those communities here
lemmynsfw instance is dedicated to porn. It’s blocked by some instances though.
Cast iron
Hot sauce recipes
Conspiracy weirdness, ghosts and shit
…maybe not in that order.
Ah a fellow cast iron enthusiast
See? You and me need a Lemmy community.
I really miss the highstrangeness community, imo it desperately needs a replacement.
I need intelligent UAP discussion again dammit!
Hard agree. Lemmy could do with a touch of woo.
I would like to see a subLemmy about making cheese and yogurt
