Are there any communities you’ve not yet seen on kbin that you used to visit on Reddit?

Edit: So a lot of people don’t know this, you can search for magazines on kbin here - https://kbin.social/magazines

      Is there no alternative to r/fantasy here? I’ve been able to find so many books and get many recommendations from there :(

      The circlejerk subreddits deserve an entire fediverse instance of their own. Not as a bad thing, but it will concentrate the expertise of meme development in a coherent place that encourages it.

        new instance just dropped

        no but seriously, I’m not sure if I agree with this. I really enjoyed seeing a post on either /r/vexillology or /r/vcj and then its corresponding post on the other one, especially if it was on /r/vcj first and then trying to figure out where tf it came from. And similar idea with /r/mapporncirclejerk and /r/geography. I think it would be a very different place if it were an entire instance dedicated to memes, and they’d lose their own identity to a large extent (not that they’re not all invaded by /r/anarchychess already).

    I think the biggest problem I have is that the magazines exist but have little to no activity.

    I and a few other posted in /m/motorcycles but I don’t think there’s been any activity since.

    Id love to have aviation related magazines. Also metalmemes or memes in general. Computerscience and programming would also be great. The problem is that im not too happy about the tankie infestation of lemmy an thus I try not to interact with it too much…

    I miss all my hobby and crafting subreddits lol. Off the top of my head,
    Woodworking / Beginners
    Sewing / Knitting
    Dioramas / Terrain Building
    Painting
    Survival / Preppers / Camping / OneBag / Travel

    Not trying to out myself, but I don’t see my Country / Region / City here yet.

    Wouldn’t mind some health, lifestyle, and research science.

    Can we get AskHistorians on here??

    r/beermoneyuk for me… it was a good place for me to find some additional sources of online income (really helped me out this year as a student). I’ve created the magazine @beermoneyuk, just in case (if the mods ever show up I’ll gladly give ownership to them), but I’m not sure if enough people will visit it.

    I spent most of my reddit time on video art subreddits.
    Like r/stablediffusion r/curcitbending r/mediasynthesis and most of all r/videosynthesis

    m/videosyntesis has been made, but is only me and the mod for now. Hopefully we can get people to migrate in time.

    r/UnresolvedMysteries. I really liked this subreddit. Now I took a look at the thread about API changes which is stickied there and it just seems a lot of people are asking “can someone explain to me what’s going on/who cares about 3rd party apps” (and my favorite one - “it’s all power-hungry mods’ fault”), so it doesn’t seem like the community will migrate from reddit.

    I miss reading all the write-ups, not only about true crime but also other mysteries.

    I’ll also add: LiminalSpace and ididnthaveeggs (for all the insane recipe reviews lol).

      We have m/LiminalSpaces here on kbin! Although not much in it due to the young age.

        Thank you, I subscribed! Hopefully it will take off :)

        Btw, I got a notification about your reply, and I can see it on your profile, but I do not see it when viewing the thread. Not sure why. Never mind, all is working now.
