missing lemmy servers

theme examples of subreddit domain ideas note
outdoor r/outdoors r/ultralight .camp
productivity beware the cringe
travel r/travel r/solotravel .travel
all about pets, dogs bunnies cats etc any pet sub lol especially r/whatswrongwithyourdog .pet could be heavy on images, except for the places where you ask for help about care
what’s this r/whatsthissnake/ r/whatisthisfish r/whatsthisrock r/whatsthisbird r/whatsthisplant/ r/whatisthisthing r/whatsthisbug whatsthatbug.com very heavy on images (tbf tho webp are veeeery little)
patient consumers r/onebag r/patientgamers r/patientconsumers .report .review .reviews
european tech workers? r/cscareerquestioneu
movies, animated movies, series, animated series r/gameofthrones r/severance r/bojackhorseman
anime, manga, manwha, webtoon r/onepunchman r/onepiece r/towerofgod .moe discussion focussed otherwise beware the loli shota fanarts
gaming r/patientgamers r/macgaming r/linuxgaming r/steamdeck .gg (country) .games
instance for every city? mabe for every region? could also work as a group or bulletin board shared between mastodon isntances
European Union hub r/europe r/2westerneurope4you r/yurop r/europeanfederalists r/askeuropeans r/askeu .eu europe.pub is not specific enough and in fact it’s full of useless posts and subs (or btw every european server could host one of these and then have a shared simple landing page to explain which is where)
medical advices would need very hard and specialized moderation

    A Lemmy instance for every single city or region would be cumbersome. Just make these communities on your preferred instance.

      Kinda agree but I’m not so sure about the egg or the chicken first

      Belonging is very important and there is clearly a dominant techie culture in generalistic instances right now

        Of course we can create another large set of sublemmies for new people to think that they may post there, but then it becomes apparent, why Ernest from /kbin has named them Magazines, and not Communities…

        I will spare you guessing: with so much “community” names and few people using them “comms” become just categories to post and follow. It may work for a social news website (as it was a primary format of Digg and then Reddit), but this will not replace Reddit as place for discussions.

    Communities generally spawn on whatever general purpose instance, and I’m fine with it because the only other option is usually nothing at all. Maintaining an instance takes hard work and money.

    Sometimes there is enough will to spawn a specific instance. For example, rimmers have their own mbin instance. That’s the exception, though.

    The only encouraging thing I can say here is Be the change you wish to see. If you want an instance to exist, run it yourself!

      slrpnk is a themed instance 😃 (also lemmini, even tho we may close it soon and then make a very local one)

      I made the list for “hey look there are opportunities if you want the threadiverse to shine”

      No pressure

          To use bonfire, to be even more local (me and the other admin actually live in the same province) and because apparently my social circles are too attached to telegram to post in the open web questions that they can make in our shared groups

          Oh and because the main community that should have moved changed idea, so no more being the focal point for political organization in the Italian landscape

          Also there is a bug in my ear that keeps repeating that we should just embrace this dark forest internet moment and hide in chat groups like everyone else

    outdoor, travel

    Maybe let’s introduce them to Wanderer first?

    Productivity

    I doubt they would remain here. The Threadiverse is biased towards Open Source and ethical solutions and for any normie not interested in it at all this will bore them quickly…

    all about pets, dogs bunnies cats etc

    A traditional forum is better for that purpose. One would better build it on NodeBB ;)

    european tech workers?

    Why would they use specifically the Threadiverse, if they could network better on (larger) Mastodon?

    movies, animated movies, series, animated series

    There was lemmy.film, but it went belly up. Many of communities from there moved to lemm.ee and then to PieFed.social.

    And there is https://adultswim.fan/ .

    anime, manga, manwha, webtoon

    We literally have got https://ani.social/ .

    gaming

    https://lemmy.zip/ is skewed towards tech, PCs and gaming

    instance for every city? mabe for every region?

    It worked for much of Europe, for Canada, Chile, Brazil and Oceania. Regional instances were attempted for US and apart from https://midwest.social/ and https://yall.theatl.social/ (related to Mastodon instance) they failed.

    European Union hub

    Main problem of Europe Pub is that it isn’t a PieFed instance. Topics would easily direct interested users into their national subs, which already exist on national instances. Nowadays it is a duplication of effort, which either fragments or needlessly centralises the European Threadiverse, depending on its success.

    medical advice

    IMHO Quora would be a better place for this than Reddit (shall it not enshittify)

      AniSocial got the same issues as EuropePub: ton of noise, 0 purposes and discussion.

      Even just having the thread to discuss latest one piece chapter would be enough

      I made a telegram group to have similar results but it’s still a bit annoying that no one in the open social world wants to fight the trend of hiding into chat groups e-e
