For example, I used to follow a lot of subreddits for individual YouTube content creators, however, Lemmy doesn't really have the size or culture to support this currently.

I do miss the atheist vs theists debates reddit had. It was kinda interesting hearing the same arguments over and over but having to study them in new ways.

Ok this one is arguing God exists because humans can think. Now I have to spend a few hours learning about animal intelligence. Ok this one is bringing up a first cause argument. Now I have to read the really long ebook NASA put out about the Big Bang.

It was fun challenging myself and I ended up learning.

There is not much Lemmy communities for discussion specific/centered around specific entertainment media (video games, anime & manga, web videos, etc)

Back when I’m still on Reddit, I’m used to lurking around a lot of these kind of communities on that site. Community centered around video game franchise like The Legend of Zelda and Sonic the Hedgehog, content creators like Linus Tech Tips and Hololive, and even some niche topics like Windows 10 LTSC and Otonokizaka

Those kinds of subreddits simply doesn’t have any equivalent in Lemmy, and even if it did, it is far far more inactive compared to its Reddit counterpart. To me that is one of the biggest problem with Lemmy right now and kinda could be a reason why there is still many user who sticked into Reddit and does not 100% migrated to Lemmy.

Not exactly niche but I'd like to see some active gardening and diy communities. The existing ones aren't very active.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Maybe in springtime. which ones are you subbed to?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Hopefully now discussion blooms then

Cacti/succulents and wine (the fermented grape juice one, not the linux one). There are cactus and succulent communities in Lemmy, but they're not very active, and wine ones are completely dead...

Aviation/Flying. r/flying had been a pretty much daily stop for me prior to leaving reddit as it was one of they only good places to talks with other pilots. I'd love to have a place to chat with other pilots and/or homebuilt aircraft folks rather than a dozen or so barely maintained forum sites.

lemmyfly.org seems to have disappeared, or gone blank, for some reason.

Linux and Star Trek memes. I just don't see them enough.

Ancient coins. There's a sub on Lemmy but it's sadly unpopulated. I miss being able to interface a bit with other collectors, but fuck my ass if I have to go back to Reddit for that.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I digged down in what coins (they overlapped usually IIRC) had the highest probability of have being manipulated by jesus or the supposed apostles. Wasn't that expensive if my memory is right to get a bunch with a high probability.

In that case you'll be looking at Judean Prutahs or Leptons (the fabled "widow's mite"), and denarii of Tiberius which are known as "tribute pennies". Most of them are quite affordable if not incredibly impressive.

Hey thanks!

They have gone expensive as hell though :-D

vinyl records. I miss r/vinyldeals, r/vinyl, and r/vinyljerk.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Funny enough, vinyldeals was one of the biggest pushes for me leaving reddit. Way too much anxiety checking and the exclusive releases just killed my wallet lol
