None of the Japanese communities actually migrated over (for those living here, such as the finance one), which is sad. I'm still hoping they eventually do. Until then, unless law and taxes become much easier (try doing legalese in your non-native language that has thousands of characters and tons of Jargon), I still go there for that. Same with ALTTPR, unless it has some community I haven't seen yet.
Fedibridge
A community to organize and discuss the growth of the fediverse as a whole
I think Polandball has never really taken off here, same with Lego :/
C'est tragique. I never spent much around polandball, compball or that stuff but it was kinda nice seeing them every once in a while (even if i didn't get them lmao) but the fact there is no lego community is insane.
There are some great communities of obsessive hobbyists here like [email protected], and if you throw a brick in any direction you'll hit two Linux nerds, but reddit has /r/sysadmin and other infosec groups that have large numbers of industry professionals - and no amount of enthusiasm can substitute for real-world experience. I miss the conversation from people who spend time writing system security plans, reading NIST documentation for guidance, thinking about remote management for networks that support thousands of end users, and who have to actually deal with the cybersecurity incidents that get reported in the news.
You can contact L3s, the mod of [email protected] and ask to become a mod since the rest are completely inactive. Though i don't know how you'd be able to consistently post nor the content that was on there, since i'm not a sysadmin :)
Writing prompts. It's here, but it's unpopulated. Tbf the Reddit one wasn't super populated either, but that's where I did a lot of my reading.
Yeah, it gets the occasional post, but responses are few, and tend to take a while to show up
Interesting, never heard of it. Though that content sounds like it takes effort which only a select couple of users would exert.
The type of person commenting there ideally wants most eyes to see their work, so I think it could do well even with a small community of commenters, it used to be really fun when it was just everyone giving it a go and not professional authors who are bored.
Well both the mods of [email protected] and [email protected] are inactive, so if one of you were interested you could take up moderating it ;)
3d communities like blender, vfx were active, I was getting back into webdesign (for local businesses freelancing) so wordpress was interesting (for the drama not helpful lol), comicbooks was wayyy more active there (I stopped reading when reddit permabanned me, i liked discussing with the ppl reccomending me stuff), fantasy for books, all the drug related ones, rave related ones, nootropics, supplements, etc. Adhd and adhdmemes there was good, thats okay here.
Very nice. I've not much to say but: be the change you want to see ;) (or not, it's your choice lol)
Yeah I just prefer to see posts and comments from ppl who know what they're talking about, specialists, im a hobby hopper, I never get that far lol, I lose interest and generally never get past intermediate
I dont miss any of the popular front page subreddits, browsing that right now was tedious
Ain't that the truth, a lot of them partially moved here sadly but it's easily blockable.
It was very effective at keeping me interested in games, like being subbed to tenkaichi 4 is the only reason I remembered the game existed just now opening reddit
Yeah i missed game communities. I think i'm going to create kingdom come / ready or not comms here, though will there be a lot of users? Probably not.
Niche communities for colonysims, or the communties for the games themselves, that was always divided between there and discord tho, any niche community in general, like valiant comics has a subreddit, robinhobb has one, the cosmere has one, etc.
Touchdesigner had a useful community there, davinci resolve, resolume, etc.. ngl I reopened reddit for the firsr time in a few days just to check what I was missing, so im not missing it that much lol
Was also getting into dropshipping, reddit helped me remember my hobbies because I get distracted easily but it also constantly gave me new distractions, miss seeing flightsim stuff, hotas, etc. but it was all very repetitive and I dont play flight sims rnow. The indiedev, vrgaming, etc. subreddits were pretty active, ue and unity, all of those types of subs I like there. You constantly see the cool stuff people are working on, it's motivating.
Sbcgaming is another good one, would've never known android/linux handhelds are so good now.
