r/libraryofbabel, r/tragedeigh, and r/everyoneknowsthat. But I can live without them.
Tragedeigh gets depressing sometimes as someone who had a horrible name growing up. Libraryofbabel kinda encourages my maladaptive daydreaming and honestly creating !0x255@sh.itjust.works wasn’t the best for trying to break out of my daydreaming addiction.
However I can get my Who’s Who updates somewhere else. Everyone knows
thatit, you’ve got ulterior motives!I still browse and almost caught myself commenting recently. I quickly backspaced and exited out and came over here where I feel safe posting comments and interacting.
its too easy to gett banned there now, even a simple comment removal will trigger a shadown ban in many cases, plus a VPN would result in a ban eventually.
I miss… the idea of it.
Diversity. People on R were less uniform.
Maybe because they were more.
When there was only one allowed opinion in a sub, then you could often find another sub with the same topics allowed, but the only one allowed opinion was another one.
now it bans you for any opinion as of recently, but more heaivly geared if your criticizing musk, or the right, because musk had complained to spez on 2 occasions to start a purge of accounts.
Reddit started out very similar to the current lemmy/fediverse audience. The nerds go first and eventually everyone else follows.
The “When does the narwhal bacon” crowd was not diverse at all
The breadth of the content
r/electricians mostly
I’m an industrial electrician and I don’t know a single soul in my life outside of my career who I can shoot the shit about electrical systems. Sometimes I just want to nerd out about it, or discuss UL and NEC codes, or sometimes just removed about old crap from decades ago you have to work on haha
I was pretty active there, too! I had a long post about the differences between grounding and bonding that was stickied to the sidebar for a while. I think it’s still there…
Oh man welcome to my daily hell about this topic haha. We build, install, repair systems for the largest steel mills in the country. Think 100 foot long lineups all bussed together, all 100% custom. Some of them easily 6k to 12k amps.
Painted surfaces can really sneak up on you, and we’ve changed how we bond panels like three times since I’ve been here for a couple years (worked on this type of equipment for about 10 tho). We used to not bond the sub to our common gnd bus on the floor, thinking the studs to the cabinet frame was enough. But with shielded cable, it needs a direct path to gnd on shield and gnd in one spot and for all shields to be tied together.
If you wanna get into a really heady topic, see what happens when you put a piece of strut or gnd wire or another power wire in between parallel runs of power wire per phase on a three-phase AC system

I did a tenant fit-out in a new building where the base-building was still under construction by a different electrical contractor when we started our buildout. The building had a penthouse switchboard that was fed with 5 parallel sets. Except the other EC pulled it as 1 phase per conduit. So they had 1 conduit with 5x a-phase conductors. Another with 5x b-phase, etc. Even 1 conduit with just 5x EGCs.
I noticed it because we had to pull a new feed into their switchboard right before permanent power got turned on to the building. This was literally the day before the utility was supposed to turn on power, They were this close to turning on a 2000A feeder with a single phase per conduit. And it was all metal conduit. They’d have burned that whole damn building down.
I told them they did it wrong and were going to start a fire. They didn’t believe me at first, so I had to escalate it to my GC’s safety coordinator, who had to bring it to their safety coordinator. They refused to call the utility to cancel turning on permanent power, so my safety guy and I had to intercept the utility guys when they showed up on site to tell them not to turn on power. Man was that other EC’s foreman PISSED, but he eventually did have to pull it all out and repull it correctly.
or sometimes just removed about old crap from decades ago you have to work on haha
dot ml strikes again
The censor specific words in comments rather than just deleting a whole comment? That’s some shit.
And here, I thought maybe it was a joke about all the stuff people deleted during the API drama, or maybe a joke about all the stuff getting removed in recent times, but nope, just good old ml censorship.
What did they censor? The b word?
Posting my depraved “performance art” and interacting with my fans in the comments
My woman trolling each other back and forth
A few regulars from Askredditafterdark
Most subs i follow have a discord anyway, so mostly on discord. For the subs not on discord, I use alternative measures viz; a. ChubbyFire - I still check the space out
b. r4r- I Resort to other pay for play NSFW apps.
Active communities that aren’t about Linux
Have a look at the pinned post on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca
Active communities, period.
Reddit started out without subreddits. Eventually grew too big for that so split into topical channels. Then the channel would get too big and a niche would subdivide out. When Lemmy started, our more so when there was the first but exodus from Reddit, all of that was recreated, but with the users. So we have a ton of dead communities that really need to be rolled up and cleaned up.
That happens regularly on !fedigrow@lemm.ee
Hey now. Trek communities are live and well
Getting banned with 100s of my fake account.
r/notinteresting being everything but not interesting
r/countablepixels was pretty interesting too but it looks like all the drama has died out :/
Active posts that aren’t about linux or politics.
Lemmy is actually getting better. It’s like Reddit when it was just starting.
Have a look at the pinned post on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca
Hey now, we also have programming and meta-fediverse discussions as well /s
I don’t miss anything from reddit, I can still go there if I want. If anything, lemmy still feels underpopulated if I only browse the stuff I’m subscribed to.
Askhistorians and other academic subreddits, along with specific fan communities. Lemmy is just too small to support a good community for a smaller video game, for example. That’s pretty much it though I was surprised at how little I missed reddit after switching
r/twobestfriendsplay, the second best subreddit for everything
