Been transitioning from Reddit, and Lemmy is such a godsend.
No more subreddit hoarding and mod abuse (mostly). The decentralization makes it nearly impossible to exploit and abuse.
I finally get to create a community that isn’t a bunch of subreddits controlled by the same mod network. Working hard to build it up from scratch (and unapologetically taking inspiration from the good posts in each subreddit).
Is there a convenient way to find communities related to the subreddits I’m subscribed to, without manually searching for them? Looking for some kind of smart pseudo-import/export feature.

This bad boy has helped me find some good communities https://feddit.nl/c/trendingcommunities
(I don’t know yet how to share the fancy links)
Heck yeah!
(I just learned the formatting: !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl)
Welcome! Nice to have you here!
The Voyager app for Lemmy had a feature that would automatically search for all of your reddit subs and recommend corresponding Lemmy communities. I haven’t used it in a while to be sure though.
There is sub.rehab
Just a heads up, I think that site is no longer being maintained.
Very nice. Haven’t seen that before.
This is awesome! Thank you so much.
No mod abuse, you say?
And maybe even that mod
Some events like these still give me hope: https://lemmy.cafe/post/12094663
TL;DR
Admin abuse by the blahaj mods triggered mod abuse by the 196 mod, all because one popular troll in the .blahaj space demanded everyone call them “dragonfucker” instead of “they/them” ( I wish I was kidding )
The 196 community now is split between .blahaj and .world, depending on which internet janitor personally wronged them.
You forget to mention the !196 mods never asked their community about moving.
Anyway the fact that the communities could move and exist elsewhere in the same platform with minimum friction is a sign that this place is much better than Reddit. Over there, if you disagree with the admins, there’s nowhere to go.
Oh god not dragonfucker. They’re just trolling, right?
LOL 😭
At least we can distance ourselves from that and create our own communities.
Hi & welcome!
They won’t do much to help you find something specifically related to what you’re already subscribed to, but those might still help find interesting communities. You may also want to present you new community there ;)
Thank you so much! I’ll check them out and promote my community there. 😌
I also recommend subscribing to !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl - it’s a bot that gives daily reports on subs that are growing in both activity and subscriptions.
Subscribed! Thank you. 😌
