    /r/liberalgunowners is missed. I could chat about guns and simple gunsmithing, see neat stuff I didn’t know about, all without the toxic right-wing boolshit.

    We had sane discussions about laws and responsible ownership, stuff like that. People were kind, no judgement. It was really nice.

      I miss that one too. Being a liberal gun nerd in Texas is weird. All the gun shops, ranges, and conventions are more about right-wing politics, police worship, and fetishizing the Confederacy than the hobby.

        I buy everything online and have a nice FFL who I meet in his kitchen to do the paperwork. Also, I have a couple of acres of my own personal swamp to go shooting, so I avoid all the nuts.

    Various TV Show subreddits…they just haven’t made it over here yet. Personally, I’d love to see a dedicated instance for TV and movies.

        That sub is dead. Last post was two weeks ago with zero comments, and the one before was a whole month ago.

        Yes, but it’s quite inactive. That community basically died shortly after the Reddit exodus. Check the stickied Patch Tuesday megathread for instance, it hasn’t been updated in two months, which shows that the mods have abandoned the community or don’t care - and given that no users posted there either, it seems like users also stopped caring.

          Definitely, the three most are mostly missing.

          I’m always surprised nobody claimed it as most of people on Lemmy are probably in tech.

            Most Lemmy tech people are skewed towards FOSS, from what I’ve seen. Not that it’s a bad thing mind you.

            Linux sysadmins are just a different breed, most of their issues/discussions revolve around the choice of distro or around corporate takeovers/license changes (Terraform, LXD etc), and very rarely about actual issues (because there are rarely any issues that matter or can’t be fixed easily, if you’re doing your job right). Whereas in the Windows world we’re at the mercy of Microsoft, and often have to rely on the community coming for feedback around issues and workarounds (cause MS support is useless), or because Microsoft is bent upon taking away choice, we’ve have to rely upon the community coming up with innovative solutions for various things. So yea, I really do miss seeing those sort of discussions, as they were quite helpful for my job and gave a lot of insight on different things. Even if there were no issues, just reading about different infrastructure setups and configurations at various workplaces was quite enlightening.

              I see, thanks for your perspective!

              What I meant, is that even if most of the people are biased towards FOSS, on 30k active users, there should be a least a few interesting in taking over that community

      I always found the sysadmin sub to have an air of bitterness around it. Instead, I focused on the hobbyist tech-subs (such as selfhosted). Grated, their issues have a smaller scope, but still…

    r/subredditdrama - hands down one of my favourite sources of reddit content. r/drama isn’t my jam, way too much fascist apologia there.

    r/printsf exists already but the reddit community is much more active than lemmy, I’m hoping some of the sf/fiction communities on lemmy can rival it at some point.

      Even if there is a community, the pool of people providing answers in these sorts of utility subs is going to be a fraction of what it was.

        Well, every now and again, someone needs to post on the reddit one saying “look at them misidentifying a thing on Lemmy”.

        They’ll either be genuinely helpful types, and join us to help out, or they’ll be “someone is wrong on the internet” types, and join us to be correct.

        Obviously I have no idea if this would work in practice.
