    Many communities exist, but mostly on paper.

    What I haven’t found yet is something substantial and informative like /r/askhistorians.

    Communities for people with rare disorders or illnesses. And plant communities for specific plant groups, so not plants in general. But most of all, i miss the fact that i could search for very specific content to see what creative ideas other people had on how to do certain things. Or people who shared many years of experience and experimenting.

    I miss having large and active subreddits for the sports teams I follow. They were my primary source of news for the teams and games at threads were great.

    Certain informative, niche communities like /r/neovim, /r/prequelmemes, and er, um /r/sex. I know there are comparable communities here, but the volume is missing. OTOH, everyone is much friendlier here. And, a smaller user base means our comments don’t get buried among thousands. Also, I’m really enjoying new-to-me communities /c/risa.

    I miss communities that I can ask a question to. When I have a problem with a plant, or a legal issue in Japan, or a question about bike brakes… It’s nice to have someone to talk to about it that knows more than I do.

    Doesn’t seem like there are many economy/financial/stock focused communities here yet

    I mostly miss my niche subreddits. If the subreddit only has 20-30 active users, that means 1-2 people hopped to Lemmy who might be interested in it.

    A lot of country- or city-specific subreddits either aren’t on here or are quite inactive. To be honest they were mostly cesspits on Reddit so maybe it’s no bad thing but you occasionally found useful information there.

    Other than that, there were a few subreddits that were good for recipe ideas, like /r/EatCheapAndHealthy. /r/ZeroWaste was good too, on occasion.

    In general, non-tech related communities don’t seem to have migrated over as much. Most of the subreddits I followed were related to technology in some way and now have pretty active communities on Lemmy.

      This is the main one for me. I didn’t realize how much I got my local news from /r/Portland until I left. It had great info on stuff like local events, new restaurants, plus complaining threads about city problems.

      Some incredible stuff, and I’m sure the madlads in hyruleengineering have pushed the limits over the last few months…. But two fans and a steering stick are all it really takes.

    I miss the idea of /r/outside. A kind of role play in a fun , not too abstract context.

    Communities for specific consoles, like r/PS3, r/3DS, r/Vita, very helpful for keeping up to date with new plugins and stuff

    The ones here either don’t exist, or do but isn’t active at all
