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.

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.

[email protected] Its hard to pump up because posting other people's guinea pig pictures is kinda weird.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

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.

I still have a few reddit alts that I lurk with, at least until we get enough activity on Lemmy on those topics:

  • Sports discussion, including specific leagues and teams
  • Discussion about my specific local city (and maybe the other cities I frequently visit)
  • Things relevant to my career/industry in law
  • Economics and financial news
  • Food and cooking
  • Television shows and movies, including specific shows or narrow discussions
  • Super specific hobbies and interests, not just the stuff I'm personally into, but also knowing that there's a community around some other hobby so that there is lots of archived discussion where I can just click around and learn something new. For example, the most recent plane crashes in DC and Toronto, I went to the aviation community on Reddit to see what experienced professionals were saying about those things as the news broke.

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.

I said this before but we need an internet friend finding community like r/makenewfriendshere and r/needafriend

Western North Carolina. I tried it on KBin and that place went tits up.

[email protected]

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

r/vintagecameras

I created [email protected] as a replacement. So far it's just me posting.

EDC, I want to talk about cool gear.

I miss my irreverent bantery geopolitical satire, and there's 0 chance of the Reddit mods helping the transition in any way

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

[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.
