I still have a few reddit alts that I lurk with, at least until we get enough activity on Lemmy on those topics:
Sports discussion, including specific leagues and teams
Discussion about my specific local city (and maybe the other cities I frequently visit)
Things relevant to my career/industry in law
Economics and financial news
Food and cooking
Television shows and movies, including specific shows or narrow discussions
Super specific hobbies and interests, not just the stuff I’m personally into, but also knowing that there’s a community around some other hobby so that there is lots of archived discussion where I can just click around and learn something new. For example, the most recent plane crashes in DC and Toronto, I went to the aviation community on Reddit to see what experienced professionals were saying about those things as the news broke.
Lemmy’s good on all the tech and science stuff I like, and most of the memes/humor that I’m looking for. It’s coming along on some mainstream interests, including the ones I’ve listed above, but still has a ways to go before the organic discussions reach the level of detail and expertise that reddit has. But it’s on the right track, and I’m optimistic about those things filling in over time.
