If anyone misses /r/chapotraphouse they have their own version of Lemmy they have built for the last 3 years which should be back to being federated soon. hexbear.net for anyone interested.

It was spun out from the group behind the Discord that was very active when /r/CTH was shut down. I'd say Hexbear is very different from what /r/CTH was back in the day. You could be a succdem and generally feel at home on CTH, Hexbear tends towards full on ML.
(I say this as a commie who has been on hexbear since day 1)
You are definitely correct. I forgot about the discord that was a bridge of sorts. The politics definitely have become more principled hence the shedding of the chapo brand.
I scanned quickly through the comments here so I may have missed any mentions, if there were any... But my suggestion is: there should be a master/stickied list of equivalent subreddits. So in the future, people can just google [subreddit name] + lemmy (or kbin or beehaw etc etc).
Preferably the same exact subreddit name. Or are those subreddit names owned by Reddit? Can they come after us?
There's a community called New Communities which might be useful for this:
https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities
EDIT, actually Darkfoe's comment has a much more useful link!
nahh. my favourite subs are the braindead shitposting ones so
Game-specific subreddits (i.e., LegendsofRuneterra, PathofChampions, CustomLoR, MagicArena, leagueoflegends, starcraft, Factorio, LastEpoch, ftlgame). [email protected] looks good.
Franchise-specific subreddits like Batman. [email protected] looks good.
Entertainment (i.e., Showerthoughts, oddlysatisfying, interestingasfuck, DesignDesign, EngineeringPorn, OldSchoolCool).
Niche art (i.e., PixelArt, RetroFuturism, cassettefuturism, TheNightFeeling).
I expect the first two categories (where I commented most) to be the slowest to move here.
I too wish the game specific subs migrated. Like Forza subs
- r/forza
- r/ForzaHorizon
- r/ForzaOpenTunes
GI subs - r/Genshin_Impact
- r/Genshin_Lore
- r/GenshinImpactTips Destiny subs
- r/destiny's
- r/DestinyFashion
- r/DestinyLore
- r/DestinyMemes
- r/DestinyTheGame DRG sub
- r/DeepRockGalactic
Also miss the anime subs. /c/anime looks like it could grow into r/anime. But others like
- r/absolutelynotanimeirl
- r/animeirl
- r/anime_irl
- r/Animewallpaper
don't have lemmy equivalents at the moment.
Cool to hear you play Runeterra! I created /c/[email protected] yesterday. Share any decks youβve been playing there :)
LGBTQ+ support spaces. Lemmy has some, but not enough.
I'm going to miss the mycology sub, haven't had any luck in finding something similar yet.
I canβt find any of my outdoor communities such as r/campingandhiking, r/backpacking, r/hikingcanada, r/wildernessbackpacking, r/nationalpark
Not really. My most visited subs on reddit (fuck spez) were Rimworld, Zomboid, Hunt Showdown and various hobby/profession subs (graphic design, illustration, itap, photography). I'm fairly confident a UX/UI sub will pop up sooner rather than later considering how techie Lemmy's userbase seems to be. Iirc there is a gaming related comm on beehaw, but the odds those three games will be talked about is rather slim.
Edit: also, Swoleacceptance. Recently got back to the gym due to mental health. Was a gym rat years ago but life got in the way.
It has, but it's quite empty yet. There are some posts, but I can seem to be able to reply sometimes. I use the "Jerboa" app and I get a "language not allowed" error. Anyone knows how to fix this?
If you didn't see, I found the problem and it's now gone! Don't know what exactly happened
It feels like the mods on the subreddits don't want to switch because that woul mean they might risk not being moderators anymore. Sad to see. Every sub should migrate. The only major thing that makes reddit unique is the awards and customizable avatars which no person over the age of 12 should care about.
