I'm genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?

Yes, definitely personalfinance!

Both are a bit new and I still need moderators given the larger scale, but c/EarthPorn is now here, as is c/personalfinance

For an askscience alternative, I'd say check out: https://mander.xyz/c/nostupidquestions

For space stuff, I'd say check out https://mander.xyz/c/astronomy and https://mander.xyz/c/space

mander.xyz as a whole is meant to be science and nature focused.

Granted they're all tiny and have low engagement, but it's a start.

Happy to report that r/menopause has moved to c/menopause@lemmy.world

I'd be keen for RStudio!

I know we're talking about moving away from Reddit but I don't see this on your list and it sounds like it might be a match for your interests --have you taken a look at /r/badwomensanatomy?

[–] klemptor@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yep, that one's good too!
