I, being someone who works with computers, have had some luck with most of my favorite subs being here already.

Despite that, some of my hobby ones still aren’t here. NFL exists, but it’s the same as nothing so far. Soccer I couldn’t find at first, maybe today it already does? Also, no sign of fantasy football.

I also followed a bunch of History subs, but looks like most people in Lemmy only care about science and technology.

Tell us, what is missing for you?

    Not really. It’s incredibly frustrating and I’ve def lost some faith in humanity.

    I thought /r/selfhosted would be ready to jump but everyone is like “but there’s no users on lemmy” and “you’ll split the community” and “we’re going to go dark for two days - that will teach them!”

    Consequently there’s been no support for any single refuge.

    Additionally people have set up several communities here with similar names in the past but now mods aren’t responding so it’s all a bit of a mess.

      Idk which ones you’ve tried but I know there’s [email protected]

      As far as the “no single refuge” thing, I think that just comes with time as people decide “imma post in this one”. Just pick one and go for it tbh.

          If you search from your own instance, I think it only shows the subscribers from your own instance. So browsing from lemmy.ml there might be one subscriber but on lemmy.world there would be 77.

            Actually I just noticed that when you search for say, “selfhosted” you’ll only be shown results that people have already accessed from the instance you’re on. So when you search for a community, if none are shown that doesn’t mean none exist, just that no one on your instance have accessed them yet ?

          Ah see on mine it shows as having 77, so clearly those numbers are not to be trusted.

      Give it time, things are accelerating really quickly!

      And for what it’s worth, people who have turned their back on Reddit and are now here, probably aren’t contributing much or at all to discussions on Reddit… So it’ll seem to skew more to voices that aren’t switching or haven’t yet.
