Just curious. I miss mainly language stuff, some video game communities (like RoN, KCD) and some local communities like for Arabs (tbf those were always cesspits but I miss talking to other Arabs on Lemmy)

I'll try to be the change I want to see. How about you?

r/morbidquestions. I don't think it's coming here any time soon as it's a moderation hell and lemmy doesn't seem very into morbid stuff.

Yeah, I started one here, told the folks on the discord about it, and nobody ever switched.

Mind you, I abandoned the sub a ways before reddit shit the bed in '23, but it had a warm and bloody place in my heart, and some of the people there were/are genuinely great folks.

Tbh, I think here moderation would be easy enough for now. Lemmy runs higher to people that actually read community rules. And, since there's a lot less limits to what can be discussed overall, a small team could handle it as long as they aren't all in the same time zone.

But, over on reddit, automod could handle most of it anyway. Throw in some keywords, set it to filter for mod review, and you're good to go. Without that, if it got as big as the subreddit did, it could get to be a serious job.

I was actually wondering if you're the same southsamurai from there. Your comments were always super detailed and informative. I also haven't visited the sub in a while but it did have a culture of low/more chaotic moderation which I guess attracted similar users. Maybe we could do without that here.

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.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah, it gets the occasional post, but responses are few, and tend to take a while to show up

[–] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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.

There was like, under 100 people who would write, but a lot of them were very good. I bought a couple of ebooks and read tens of thousands of pages of work from there.

Investment or stock communities.

Personally I'm boring and just invest in broad market indices, but I still enjoyed the discussions.

Bit on the niche side but some relating to posting cute animal pics or some more hyper specific niche ones for some games. I actually run a few on Lemmy but real life issues alongside less activity overall means I'm lookin for some mods on that end.

I saw your post on comm_revival before this comment, aint this the truth. I miss some of these communities. For cute pics there are !superbowl@lemmy.world by the way.

Feel free to advertise some of your communities on !comm_revival@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Couldn't Lemmy create a 'Replicate Reddit' bot that copies new posts from specific communities on Reddit and recreates them under similar communities on Lemmy?

Yeah, they're just not nearly as big.

There is a Saudi community on Lemmy as it just popped up in my feed.
