Boxing. Will never happen tho. That's the only reason I keep a Reddit account.

Sometimes, when I've researched something and compiled a ton of useful information about a topic... wish there was a lemmy for that. Kind of the opposite of asklemmy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Informlemmy?

I wish there were more philosophy related communities

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

The neocities subreddit, im in the discord though

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Project Zomboid community.

The Bravo/Real Housewives communities have been tempting me lately. I love all the franchises, but I don't keep up with all the social media drama/ news in between seasons like those fans do. It's where I got all my scandals and whatnot.

And also just having a community to chit chat with about the most recent episodes.

That being said, I deleted my account in July and I'll not be going back.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

British panel shows.

Listed links to stream episodes of shows like Taskmaster, Have I Got News For You, QI, Would I Lie to You, and 8 out of 9 Cats do Countdown.

When daily news and life got too grim, it offered 30-60m of just brain dead funny distraction. Now, have to put up with Google and Youtube search bullshit and most of the time they're wrong.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I'd be pretty thrilled with more discussion on the topic too. I'm glad for [email protected], but wish we all had a bit more to say in there.

I haven’t listened since the first “campaign” but I love the discourse.

The Adventure Zone, a DnD-flavored storytelling podcast that started out strong, but then… Became strongn’t.

Snack exchange

Sports subs for my favorite teams, game day threads used to be a lot of fun watching along with everyone around the world

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Any community dedicated to a specific anime or manga series. I liked seeing fanart and inside joke memes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Pathfinder TTRPG. There are plenty of sublemmies (is that what they're called) for Pathfinder but none of them are active like the Reddit r/Pathfinder. 😢

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Have you tried making threads in the larger games communities in the meantime to see if there are others interested?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

That's an idea but I didn't want to be one of those pushy people that use a different distro like a Linux advocate of a specific distro.

I use Arch, btw. /s 😉

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I miss /r/rain and /r/cosyplaces

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Me too.

Let's do it. Let's make a rain community here!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Oh ! I missed it ! Thanks a lot ! 😊

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Nice! Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Pretty much all the communities I used to be a part of in my Reddit days were... pretty toxic to say the least. I don't think I'd ever wanna go back to experiencing that again.

This is why I'm an immigrant.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

I don't think it's big enough to support small separate communities yet. I think we need to let smaller similar communities exist inside larger ones

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Game emulation communities should be larger.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I don't know. If I miss some kind of news or funny pictures from reddit I go to lemmit.online. And I created [email protected] myself because I missed it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

All the little niche TV subs, there's a Doctor Who one here, which is soooo much nicer than the reddit one, but I haven't found any of my other shows. I'd quite like the trashy TV ones cause I joined facebook groups and I want to talk about like, internalised misogyny in Sister Wives, but all the discussions are like "Robyn has a fat bum, hahaha".

Adult Children of Alcoholics and Disfunctional Families. Started one but not much activity: [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

we're too dysfunctional to participate. sorry.

JK. I will go over there and join. But what would we even talk about? All the strange bizarre day-to-day decisions we make that are rooted in a twisted childhood?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

We talk about our lives as recovering adults, affected by growing up and/or living with active alcoholics or disfunctional family members. How did we get here, where are we today, and how can we help each other start anew, cope, and move forward with our lives as happy human beings. We support each other.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

There’s not many of us, but I wish more fans of the Aubrey/Maturin series were here. Also Discworld.

/r/happycowgifs

Seems dumb, but having your feed interspersed with random happy cows just makes all the terrible headlines less terrible.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Hey there big boi

cool cow with mullet wig gif

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

or even better, unsubscribe from anything that gives you any terrible headlines
