shitty ask reddit. In this case it's called shitty ask hilarious chaos. We need more quality text shitposting participants.
High quality gifs
Personal finance ones would be nice
Which ones are you in? I like personal finance and am in several on Reddit, but none here.

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

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

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 there’s that.
If this one got more activity, I could stop using Instagram completely (already dumped FB and Reddit).

/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
EDC, I want to talk about cool gear.
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.
It’s 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.

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]
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!
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.
