What niche reddit community do you want to see find a place on the fediverse?
Personally i'm looking forward to seeing twobestfriendsplay, arkhamasylum, whowouldwin, and respectthreads, on here.
r/woodworking would be nice.
I agree! Maybe a few maker communities (or a single maker community with tags)
Big anime titties, medium anime titties, banned in Australia anime titties, and monster girls.
Even the mostly-SFW art collections such as r/ImaginaryCharacters and the rest of the Imaginary Network will be missed. What would it take to steal the top 500 posts from each to kickstart art collectionns on Lemmy?
Oh boy , it will be fun when 2westerneuropean4you gets here
Absolutely
also let's not forget 2balkan4you
r/outside. That place is such a needed mental break.
@OhSnapKracklePopped Lmao I really need that
r/liveaudio r/mixingandmastering r/bitwig r/ableton r/ethereum
all of the Linux subreddits I browse + r/selfhosted, r/homelab, r/datahoarder.
all of these seem like easy fits for the fediverse.
There are already similar communities for the last three ones:
Not that they are the only ones, but the ones I've seen.
Try out lemmy.studio
You may need to setup a community or two though.
some of the more or less interesting ones i came across...
r/InternetIsBeautiful r/AlpineLinux r/CoOpGaming r/antiXLinux r/devuan r/gamedeals r/privacyhardware r/opensourcegames r/FreeGaming r/fossdroid r/linux4noobs r/commandline r/channelsofyoutube r/DeepIntoYouTube r/ChannelWatch r/EatCheapAndHealthy r/Foodforthought r/initFreedom r/irc r/KeepOurNetFree r/linux_devices r/suckless r/techsupport r/unknownvideos r/usenet r/youtubeclassics r/suggestmeabook r/thinkpad r/DistroTube r/odysee r/lbry r/peertube r/FOSSPhotography r/DepthHub r/TrueFilm r/socialscience r/AskSocialScience r/UpliftingNews r/LinuxPhones r/startpages r/terminal_porn r/nodrm r/Antifeatures r/FreeAudio r/listentothis (separated by genre)
I've found some of them:
Would love to see about starting up something like r/gamedeals once I get the hang of this place. I'm always on the lookout anyways.
I subscribed to /c/gamedeals and /c/gamedeals@lemmy.blahaj.zone the other day!
(Not 100% if I've linked those up right)
r/piracy
r/electronics
r/rce
r/diy
r/diyaudio
r/diwhy
r/edm
r/edmproduction
r/angryupvote
r/masterhacker

r/youtubedl
r/weird
Oh shit, am I a niche communities redditor already feeling anxious about losing all my anonymous internet peeps.
r/vxjunkies - Although that sub is most fun when randos stumble onto it and get confused. Which might not work as well in Federation world.
r/worldbuilding, r/loremasters
r/TolkeinFans. Discussing the legendarium on a scholarly level.
r/nsfwworldbuilding (which is a great place for thoughtful, mature, intellectual conversations about really creative ideas like quantum pregnancy and all male Orc societies ... and THEN pictures of nude bee women leaking honey from their boobs).
r/magicthecirclejerking, r/linuxcirclejerk, r/whowouldcirclejerk - these subs are my go to "I need to laugh" subs.
r/AskHistorians. What can replace this awesomeness... like ever?
r/ShermanPosting. Make this angry leftist feel like a burning patriot.
r/LateStageCapitalism. I need my angry leftist anticap memes.
r/StableDiffusion
r/Swahili? It's a beautiful language.
r/ImaginaryDerelicts... Here is a hauntingly beautiful rabbit hole for you to fall down.
r/PrintSF... it's literally how I find new books to rea...listen to. I consume audiobooks at a terrifying rate.
r/Podcasts because see above.
r/Qubes. I like my linux like I like my lovers, paranoid and with DID.
r/HomeNetworking
r/AskNetSec and r/OpSec
r/FifthWorldProblems and it's multiverse of affiliates, including r/MadMudMen and r/EnglightenedBirdMen
r/Daddit. I posted my "Here we are at a playground for the first time" pictures 12 years ago... I was looking forward to reposting those alongside the graduation pictures in 4 years.
r/WitchesVsPatriarchy. Yes, I'm a cishet white man, fuck the patriarchy and fuck toxic masculinity.
r/ChaoticGood. This sub makes me happy.
Is there seriously no r/WhoWoulWin equivalent? That boggles me.
We also REALLY need something like r/findareddit, if there isn't such a thing yet.
r/worldbuilding
we have that here https://lemmy.ml/c/worldbuilding@lemmy.ml you can search communities using this link https://lemmy.ml/communities
now the only problem bring people to using lemmy
Have found NonCredibleDefense.
There are a few pages available that list communities and instances. These are good:
Finding out about new podcasts is something I’ll really miss about Reddit. I feel like that’s not even that niche/small, surely one will pop up soon!
Non ironically, r/fossdroid would easily find a way into the fediverse
This seems way too unlikely to happen, but r/askhistorians. It's an exceptionally well moderated (if a bit overzealous) community that allows for both the average person to ask seemingly impossible, very specific questions as well as academics to express their knowledge and passion for those very same super specific topics they find fascinating; but have difficulty finding an audience to listen to them in their day to day lives.
I'm really hoping for some quality archaeology/anthropology/history content as well, I started !humans@terefere.eu for a kind of catch-all community (and yes, that's the best name I could come up with)
r/buttcoin, every time I feel bad about myself I like reading about crypto fails to remind myself that I could have made even worse decisions.
r/noncredibledefense, makes the horror of the war not far from me a bit more bearable
Actually a few, but to list some
r/PublicDomain
r/MirrorsEdgeAesthetics
r/MovieSuggestions
r/LostMedia
rMediumReadings
r/RockinTheClassics
r/CarHacking could also be good
Maybe~~ r/iwatchedanoldmovie ~~ Some game specifics sub's like r/MetalGearSolid, r/MetalSlug and r/HalfLife, r/moddergearsolid is a particularly obscure one.
Most of the console modding subs like r/360hacks, r/WiiUHacks which is going dark, r/PS3Homebrew and so on.
From my own feed that's about it, with the exception of some piracy ones like rCemuPiracy r/LinuxCrackSupport and r/SteamDeckPirates, among others. And a couple in particular that push a bit closer to the work unsafe side, so those wouldn't be here.
r/AmITheAsshole and r/BestofRedditorUpdates. I love the drama.
Maybe you'd be interested in FediLore + Fedidrama (!fediverselore@lemmy.ca)
Ey, thanks for the suggestion! I've checked it up and sounds fun. Unfortunately, I can't seem to be able to browse it from jerboa, but I could be doing something wrong cause I'm very new to this.
r/ultralight, r/myog and r/wildernessbackpacking
You can tell what I'm into.
Yes please 🙏🏽 I’m not going back to BPL…..
Hello from !ultralight@lemmy.world, I always wanted more overlap between r/ultralight and r/myog personally, they go hand in hand. Stop by and say hi :)
A couple of my hobbies that I've seen barely getting started here... photography and mycology. There's a lot to explore in both without getting wrapped up in religion or politics.
mander.xyz is an instance with a bunch of science based communities, and they have a mycology one.
I'm actually subscribed to Mycology@mander.xyz, it's the only community I've found so far. However it sounds like I need to check out the other communities at mander.xyz to see what they offer!
r/HobbyDrama or a more hobby oriented history community. Also r/AskHistorians or similar, although that one will take more effort and setting up than simply making the community. I personally use Reddit to see a couple memes and then read both of the subs I mentioned. I like seeing people who are passionate about a thing talk about the history of that thing.
touhoulinuxmasterracelithuaniaPOST SCRIPTUM: a community for developers
not a niche but i find lack of foodie and cooking communities on lemmy disturbing, also pcmr (isn't it too elitist for lemmy?), /r/sffpc, /r/mffpc
Cats! Where are the cats?
I'm hoping that some of the writing and image sharing subreddits make their way on here. Specifically: r/AbandonedPorn/, r/AccidentalRenaissance/, r/ImaginarySliceOfLife/, and r/LetsNotMeet/
The whole imaginary network is gorgeous. I wonder if we could convince them to work here as well.
I will really miss the imaginary network (slice of life, garden, interiors, etc).
r/degoogle r/linuxmasterrace r/linuxfornoobs r/Linux r/whatplantisthis r/eattheweeds
Definitely /r/mechanicalkeyboards
and a few more keyboard related
/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/
/r/olkb/
/r/KeyboardLayouts/
/r/CustomKeyboards/
It doesn't seem active, but !mechanicalkeyboards@lemmy.ml is a thing here.
Edit: Proper link that should work from any instance: mechanicalkeyboards@lemmy.ml
I really enjoy r/archery hope they make it here
r/Aviation and r/KerbalSpaceProgram equivalents would be welcomed by me.
It's inspiring to see all the crazy inventive stuff that people come up with in KSP!
lemmyfly.org has you covered for aviation!
Visual Novels would be nice. And maybe a place to talk about my biggest guilty pleasure... Porn games 🤡
Please can we have a "BuyNothing" or "Freecycle" Comunity? One for each city/region/area would be better but If needed we could have just one where post titles contain the location (SacramentoCA) before anything else. Then sorting / Searching would weed out the unwanted due to distance items.
I feel it probably makes more sense for location-specific instances to have their own communities for these things. So for example, have a Lemmy instance for London, e.g. london.lemmy.uk. Then have ~Freecycle@london.lemmy.uk community, which is for Freecycle posts in London.
Of course anyone from other instances can join, it just seems to make sense that something so location specific should be in a location specific Lemmy instance (of which there are a growing number).
/r/talesfromtechsupport /r/maliciouscompliance and /r/prorevenge always give me a chuckle.
A couple, I think. WoTshow is one I really liked. And exatheist is a tiny sub where a bunch of people who were once atheists of all different religions talk religious philosophy.
It'd be great to have an actual place that isn't just Christians screaming that LGTBQ+ people are of the devil and need to burn, and at the same time not have edgelord atheists decrying that they have figured out everything and are smarter than everyone else
Bingo. That's what r/exatheist is for me. Both extremes usually get talked down by the mods who tend to be fairly even-keel. Slightly undermoderated (both sides get away with just enough to not feel like anyone is getting stifled... as long as they don't go full-insult)
The other sub I like (but only lurk) is radicalchristian. I'm not Christian, but I love the way they look at the world and their religion.
Yes! WotShow and LOTR_on_Prime. I feel like I'm the only one who liked both shows haha
And exatheist does sound interesting
I tried so hard with LOTR. Especially because I saw how much hate WoT got (despite WoT now being my favorite show, and 6 or 7 rewatches in) and I wanted to give it its fair shake. It didn't work for me, and I'll probably be late to the game for S2, but I don't think all the hate for either was justified.
Since nobody else had (in my network) I added !wotshow@lemmy.ml and !wheeloftime@lemmy.ml. If I don't see a community I want, I plan to try to add one. I'd like to drive enough activity in lemmy that I don't mind losing reddit.
r/anarchychess. Where else would I get seventeen unoriginal en passant jokes a day?
Conlangs!
r/amateurradio r/flashlight
randnsfw 😏
/r/futurama
/r/3Dprinting
/r/swift.
Tada! https://lemmy.ml/c/futurama
I've never modded a sub/community before, much less something with a fanbase the size of Futurama's. But, I'm willing to get it started.
There already is a Futurama community on https://lemmy.world/c/futurama
I've seen a few people mention fighting games on here (e.g. Street Fighter). I'd be interested in that. The number of gameplay clips people would be sharing make me think it ought to be its own instance, though.
Also:
Some communities have been created for those, but don't seem to have gained much popularity.
I've created https://kbin.social/m/mechanicalkeyboards, but there's nothing there yet
How would you access this from Lemmy? Does there need to be explicit federation?
I'm on lemmy.one, and I've tried https://lemmy.one/c/mechanicalkeyboards@kbin.social, but it doesn't seem to do anything but give me a 404
EDIT: Never mind, it seems something happened in the background, and the link now works for me.
I've set up !fgc@kbin.social
It's probably not practical to have subs for individual games just yet though.
r/usbchardware
r/goldenretrievers
r/singapore
r/nottheonion
r/antiwork
r/impracticaljokers
r/Fatsquirrelhate
It's exactly what you think it is.
There are several groups on reddit that I have enjoyed, and am going to really miss unless I find some fediverse versions. It's the agony columns, all the ones where people ask for advice. Like r/AITA, and r/RomanticAdvice. There are so many of them.
What are some similar ones in this platform?
Honestly its just my local city subreddit, and the community for my favorite 2nd tier sports team. It has barely enough users even on reddit though, so it probably won't survive with a smaller overall user base.
Why is there no /c/TIL ?
Motorcycles, Synthesizers and Metal music/memes.
I'm down for a moto community!
Most of these are on Reddit, but there may be a few that I thought could be specific, but not as niche as some of the ones on reddit. (like no community just for one game)
Van conversion/van life
Birding
Camping and hiking
AmITheAsshole
Each state in the US
Longevity
Kindlescribe/e-ink
RestlessLeg (or a chronic condition community)
Woodworking (bigger builds)
Carving (smaller builds, not furniture or big stuff)
Nutrition
NextFuckingLevel
JRPG
Turn-Based RPGs
Action/Adventure Games
r/Arduino!
malelivingspace, blacksmithing, fishing, hunting, calligraphy, archery, wma, preppersales
+1 r/blacksmithing
r/homeassistant r/houseplants r/ebikes r/surfing r/golang
there's !homeassistant@lemmy.world for homeassistant
/r/sweden /r/languagelearning /r/svenska /r/girlgamers and /r/witchesvspatriarchy
/r/FreeGameFindings
I miss the retro gaming and computing subreddits, and I miss the circlejerk subs, they're comedy gold.
along the lines of fitness, something like r/bodyweightfitness, r/weightroom and r/bodybuilding would be great too!
Swoleacceptance would be cool too
Big city communities. Like Milwaukee (could fit into Midwest social)
r/oneorangebraincell, r/standardissuecat, r/GuiltyGear, r/CuratedTumblr
Forgot about Hydrohomies too
Great call! Just made one @Tardigrades
r/kamenrider, r/supersentai or any of the tokusatsu subs for that matter
There's !Ultraman@kbin.social and !KamenRider@kbin.social they're practically empty currently, but hey! making a community takes a while
https://kbin.social/m/KamenRider https://kbin.social/m/Ultraman
Thanks, I also found !kamenrider@lemmy.ml but it only has one post and two comments, one of which is mine lol
r/NixOS
I want to see r/conlangs migrating.
It's the only subreddit that I'm still contributing in good faith with. The community is beehaw levels of nice, and the mods are surprisingly competent and decent people, not trashy like the r/linguistics ones.
The only issue with r/conlangs is that it's in Reddit. But if they were to migrate, frankly? I'd be glad to help them out. Perhaps even donate to whatever instance they create.
MLB, NFL, NBA, etc. communities
Where's all the game developer communities?
I’ve setup an instance focused on some niche topics and hobbies, there’s not much there yet but here they are if anyone wants to check them out:
FFXIV → https://possumpat.io/c/ffxiv
Bugs → https://possumpat.io/c/bugmenagerie
Esports → https://possumpat.io/c/esports
Gundam → https://possumpat.io/c/gundam
Star Trek → https://possumpat.io/c/startrek
Xenoblade → https://possumpat.io/c/xenoblade
r/ipod The iPod modding community is alive and well and I love it.
marijuanaenthusiasts, DankVotingReformMemes, designdesign, GlamourBeards, HeavySeas, ididthejobboss, itsslag, mechanical_gifs, Justrolledintotheshop, NeutralPolitics, Unextexted, StraightsBeingOK, StreetArtPorn, Zoomies, wowthissubexists, streetwear, specializedtools, britishproblems, so many!
I hope that the main Xenoblade subreddit can have a faction over here. There's lots of interesting comments there.
r/LittleBigAdventure, r/OpenMW, r/RimWorld, r/Thrive, r/adhdmeme, and r/WarAndPeas (whose user has a mastodon account too).
Yo, thrive is finally on steam. Been watching the (lack of) development of that since Spore
genshin_impact, honkaistarrail, and wildrift
I wouldnt describe it as niche, but Pathfinder 1st Edition.
I created a Pathfinder community yesterday, just started posting to it https://lemmy.ml/c/pathfinder
Heya I made a community for that just today! https://lemmy.wizjenkins.com/c/pathfinder1e
Subbed, though as a newb to Lemmy it's a bit difficult.
Since wizjenkins isn't subbed by my server, !pathfinder1e@lemmywizjenkins.com was not showing up for me. I had to hand-build the /c/pathfinder1e@lemmywizjenkins.com into my lemmy.ml.
I feel like I'm either missing something, or it's something that lemmy could do slightly better.
Don't really get to play much tabletop but I love the owlcat games, so yes to more pathfinder please
Maybe you could poke the admins over on https://pathfinder.social/ to make a community for that. They're still in the process of setting up shop
r/mademesmile
Thanks for the recommendations! Time to go spice up some communities...
I would like to see:
r/NoSleep r/skincareaddiction r/math r/cpp r/python r/gonewildaudio
/r/pencils It's not weird I like pencils!
obscuremedia, tipofmytongue, gameboy, consolerepair
humansbeingbros is my wholesome dose, so to me that'd be essential.
Oh and also cozyplaces. It's quite fun and interesting to see how people make their living environment quite so cozy and enjoyable.
r/vinyl, r/audiophile, r/dankchristianmemes, r/steamdeck, r/neovim, r/bash, r/awk, r/ambientmusic
I really hope /r/xbiking makes its way here! I'm addicted to seeing their creations.
Why don't you put up one yourself? :)
I'd feel inadequate as a mod of such a community. I use a bike as my main means of transportation, and do some cycle touring, but I'm not much of a wrench, I only own one bike, and it's a pretty vanilla entry-level hybrid.
I was thinking of maybe starting a more general purpose community for all things cycling. I haven't been able to find any so far.
All of the Warhammer related subreddits!
I would like to see r/stunfisk, its the main pokeon subreddit of the smogon single battles format, but it would be really cool if the pokemon subs would get together and make their own lemmy instance
r/superbowl
They really are.
I would like r/autism
I want r/aquariums, r/plantedtank, r/walstad, r/[the city I live in], r/[state if live in], r/mylittlepony, r/myilttlehmmmm, r/hmmmm, these are just the ones im missing the most.
If anyone is looking, I made !amateur_radio (https://sh.itjust.works/c/amateur_radio).
Was gonna say r/fantasy but I probably spend more time on r/Malazan anyway.
r/dmacademy
A lot of game specific subreddits - r/Undertale, r/CelesteGame, r/HadesTheGame, r/DeadCells, r/Terraria...
r/askscience, r/GraphicsProgramming, r/Throwers
It's pretty damn new, but the only reason I keep popping back on reddit is to go to r/HyruleEngineering. The problem is that it relies on the easiness of reddit hosting the video for these short clips which lemmy currently couldn't handle. Though, people there are dedicated enough to their builds and information that they would probably be the ones who would make burner youtube accounts to upload things.
Peertube is a video site that is part of the Fediverse.
I know, but I'm unsure of current environments where they want a lot of sign ups just for very short videos and then possibly not much else. I would assume they want more curated type videos and not sub ~1min clips. Though my reasoning is that it should be the option with the least effort to get the community to move over, when I'm sure they all already have google accounts and use youtube. But I actually don't know!
Not sure if it's niche, but more UK based communities are needed. Not sure the place is big enough for city by city or even county. But UK politics, casual, sport, etc...
there is a UK lemmy instance now: https://lemmy.org.uk
!ukcasual@lemmy.world for casual !unitedkingdom@lemmy.ml for politics and news etc
There's !ukcasual@lemmy.world, !chilluk@lemmy.ml and !ukpolitics@lemmy.ml (maybe more)
r/hotpeppers
I grow super hots and love looking at people's gardens.
Hey I made it, no content yet though. Come over and share your super hots! https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/hotpeppers !hotpeppers@discuss.tchncs.de
I may kiss you right on the mouth.
yeah i haven't seen much fitness stuff on here. i'd miss r/gainit
not a niche, but not on lemmy -> r/Pizza !!!
r/BarefootRunning
r/cheesemaking
r/freebsd
r/zfs
lemmy.ml/c/watercolor is my new little home. People, come join!
I'm in a few different subs on Reddit, but the ones id love to see the most here would probably be:
r/stellaris r/crusaderkings r/kotor r/fireemblem and r/talesfromtechsupport
I’ve been mindlessly scrolling through r/M43 which is basically a sub to share and discuss Micro Four Thirds photography. I’d love for a community like that to show up here!
I had no idea that subreddit existed… if you start a m4/3 community here I’ll join and submit some content.
I’d love to, but I wouldn’t be able to submit that much content as of now. Currently saving for my first M4/3. When I get it, and if there’s no such community, I’d 100% join it
ShermanPosting
Also r/DatalsBeautiful
I was going to say /r/ExperiencedDevs, but it looks like they made an official instance at programming.dev. So that's pretty great.
It seems like !movies@lemmy.ml, and !television@lemmy.ml are relatively dead communities (at least on the lemmy.ml) instance. I'm hoping we'll see more discussions happening over there in the near future.
LOINUX!
Oooer
r/mbti 16 mbtis
r/infp
It's not a community but a bot. i want u/WanderingDwarfMiner on here :)
FOR ROCK AND STONE!
not that niche, but /r/globaloffensive for tournament updates and results
/r/internetfuneral. Probably my favorite sub on reddit.
I spend way too much time on r/coffee. A lot of people think we are pretentious snobs (which can be true sometimes) but we're just stuck in the neverending pursuit of the "perfect cup."
Also r/linguistics and r/mathematics are fun to read, especially when new papers are published and there's a discussion going on
r/YoutubeHaiku
I plan to create this community on my instance (once I figure out how to get it running)
r/RimWorld, and I would love to see r/KGATLW migrate over.
I'm kind of surprised KGATLW isn't here already
I have a lot of niche interests I would love to see made, like OSR ttrpgs, 3DS hacks, iPads, emulation, cargo bikes, and Note taking.
Is there a way for following non-Lemmy communities of the Fediverse on Lemmy? I think it would really be useful and would fill the gap. Also, communities like guppe groups are quite active.
Cycling communities, specifically the non-judgemental welcoming r/xbiking.
Seeing as no one was creating it, I made !bicycles@lemmy.ca as a general-purpose cycling community.
r/grandorder Probably my most used subreddit. Also r/hololive and r/nijisanji
/r/talesfromtechsupport /r/maliciouscompliance and /r/prorevenge always give me a chuckle.
r/RainWorld, r/ThinkPad, r/Framework, r/NonCredibleDefense, r/SpaceXMasterRace (this one isn't really about spacex), r/197
Found the rainworld player
if moon was decentralized she wouldn't have collapsed :(
Knives would be great.
r/knifeclub
Thanks
witchesvspatriarchy, runefactory, nostalgia, Breaking Benjamin
Weird ones like the ones about the letter wars, eg r/theLetterH
And generally communities about movies and tv shows, eg dedicated series subreddits
/R/credibledefense I love the deep dives into defense procurement. Really hoping to find a community like that. I would make my own but I have no idea how to start and I don't have the background needed to be a good moderator (Or whatever the lemmy equivalent would be) in that kind of topic.
/r/trackers and /r/opensignups. the private torrent community is thriving.
Anything Lego-related, really!
Hobbydrama It was kinda interesting hearing about the inner workings and happenings in hobby's you never even heard about.
I’m sure I will think of more but r/plex jumps to mind
Id love a community for motorcycles, haven't seen much in the way of automotive on Lemmy yet.
Definitely r/kitler
A VR (virtual reality) focused community would be nice, it has a very strong community across devices all things considered.
Late reply but I just randomly saw this and thought you might wanna check out !virtualreality@feddit.de which seems to be the biggest vr community right now!
Awesome, thanks for the suggestion, subscribed.
r/theculture
r/HighQualityGifs
r/rockectleague
HQG will be a great addition and given that they were some of the biggest content creators I'd be surprised if they didn't.
r/shortcuts is a favorite of mine
r/klippers would be a nice addition
r/zillowgonewild, r/mcmansionhell, r/lastfm, and r/humansarespaceorcs have always been fun places for me. History-centric and hyperlocal neighborhood-level subs, too.
I also like most of the circlejerk subs. Maybe straightforward communities here will be less self-serious, thus making [blank]jerk counterparts unnecessary.
r/noncredibledefense. We need some excellent spaces to shitpost about the MIC, and a space where we can collectively laugh at the 2nd army of the world getting it's ass kicked by the poorest nation in Europe
Those country ones, I'm in r/sweden and r/korea
r/powerwashingporn, it was my first Reddit experience, which really showed me that this website had a specialized community for everything. That fact is what got me hooked...
From a quick scroll through my subscriptions I think these are the ones I'm most looking forward to: r/dynastyff, r/futebol, all the cat related ones, r/diwhy, r/atbge, r/gtbae, r/outoftheloop, r/unraid, r/writingprompts, r/youdontsurf.
A fellow fantasy player, ok that's two of us now we just need about a thousand more.
If we get 8-10 more we can create a lemmy league :)
There is already a writing prompts community!
Awesome! Subscribed :)
/r/eurovision, although the season just ended so it would be a bit quiet right now anyway.
/r/fantasyfootball, that season is just about to kick off so would be good timing
If you'd asked this a day earlier I'd have said /r/casualUK but we now have !ukcasual@lemmy.world
And the various specific craft subs. Currently we're posting all craft projects to !creative@beehaw.org but sooner rather than later I think it'll have to be split up into individual crafts because if there's one thing crafters love even more than the actual making stuff, it's showing off the stuff we made.
@thegiddystitcher @CaptainPieces The Fediverse is more than Lemmy. Maybe there is a way you can follow chirp.social/@eurovision
Oh yes, I'm on Mastodon too and there was a ton of Eurovision content in there (I even ran into someone from the tag in real life in the arena, what are the chances of that?!)
But it'd be nice to eventually have a community here too for those longer discussions, that's all 🙂
(plus interacting across the different services is still a little bit dodgy as evidenced by your tagging the OP of this thread, but I'm sure that'll get better over time)
https://kbin.social/m/eurovision@chirp.social is a thing (I'm trying to make it more of a thing, but this is June😭)
edit: I've just found out there's a https://kbin.social/m/Eurovision - keep an eye on both of them for now
Hadn't seen that second one yet, cheers!
r/sorceryofthespectacle Absolute schizposting by the weirdest degenerates I've ever met. Sometimes they make me laugh, and sometimes they are quite profound. Often though its amphetamine/psychosis/C-PhilosophyDegree fueled rants.
A second one I forgot, is the livestreaming stuff. I did make c/livestreaming, but I will admit guiltily browsing drama of r/LivestreamFails at times. Was awful most of the time, but guilty pleasures are just that. I am a vtuber so I like some of those subs, but that's even more niche then the niche that is livestreaming, so that's a tall ask for here.
Any show or game specific sub, like r/darlsouls or r/onepunchman. It will be a while before enough people are on Lemmy to justify making a dedicated place for them
r/welding
Textbooks! (/r/textbook) :)
r/Terraform would be awesome
/r/hotpeppers
/r/sorceryofthespectacle, /r/theoryofpropaganda, /r/darkgnosis, /r/hermeticism, /r/alternativehistory
r/shittysuperpowers is pretty fun. People trying to make useless, or, preferably, even worse, superpower, and people in comments trying to make it actually OP
I'm new to the whole fediverse thing, but - if you've got an interest in a specific, uh... Sub? Fed? Community? Why not create one yourself?
Not trying to start any political debates. These are just some of the subreddits that I would like to see as communities here on Lemmy. Feel free to comment if some of these exist and I'll update my comment.
Ah, just realized that almost none of these are actually niche. Whoops.
Ham radio already exists, but I hope it blows up.
Powerlifting would be great. It has a decent following on reddit. I created the community here so we'll see if people move over.
The niche anime ones. Where's my bros at r/Kaguya_sama? r/SpyxFamily? r/swordartonline? etc?
Though I'm happy that I've seen one niche anime community today and that's Bocchi the Rock's.
I'd like to see r/adhdwomen, r/bropill, r/SantaMuerte, r/oldhagfashion, r/MensLib, r/Vaush, r/knitting, and just about all of the cat subs.
Does anyone play Slay the Spire? There's a cool community driven game going on, on the subreddit and it'd be cool to bring it over here too.
Would love to see r/hobbydrama, r/nosleep, and r/popculturechat
lemmy.ml/c/watercolor is my new little home. People, come join!
Well good news for you. tuckedinkitties
r/huginn
Silly things like r/nononoyes or r/musicaljenga
SquaredCircle, gotta talk my wrestling
word. I recall their being an inactive lemmy community, but I can't even find that now.
FGC fighting game community
r/simpsonsshitposting
Same! I wonder if it'd make sense to just share shitposts from the sub and bortposting here (with proper credit)
listentothis
trailers
all the music genre subs
plus a https://reddit.musicplayer.io for lemmy
r/ubiquiti
r/Heraldry
/r/ifyoulikeblank
I've gone ahead and created !fgc@kbin.social and !splatoon@kbin.social. Would like to have focused subs for individual fighting games (Skullgirls, ThemsFightinHerds), but that's probably not practical yet. Generally I'd just like to look up whatever game I'm playing right now and find a community for it.
Would also like to see /mahjong as well, may set that up myself later.
Geez, an active metalmemes.
Properly moderated morbidquestions
I'm trying to get an edc branch going, as well as one for knives. It's an uphill thing just like starting a new sub would be though.
Streaming related communities for episode discussion!
/r/handwriting and /r/ggggg
/r/relationships
Trueanon
Podman
/r/RidersChallenge
What a wonderful sub.
Already made !paintball@midwest.social , here's hoping some players start floating in.
/manwha /progressionfantasy
Not really niche, but CFB has the best community.
I also love OSRS and wouldn’t mind seeing a Drum Corps community as well.
I started a Drum Corps community here
I admittedly have no idea what I'm doing on Lemmy since I just joined but there it is.
I wish there was an Arab focused community. But it seems my fellow Arabs don't care much for open source or the privacy issues of Reddit.
I also wish to see more specialized sciences as communities, where they discuss advanced topics.
I'll definitely miss r/framework the most, the community on the subreddit is awesome
AnimalsBeingDerps IdiotsOnFire LifeProTips TodayILearned ThatLookedExpensive JustRollledIntoTheShop WeWantPlates
NFL
Dallas Cowboys
90's Alternative Music
Eurovision is probably the one I'll miss the most from Reddit. The people I talked to their were real chill.
I miss /r/me_irl and /r/shitpostxiv so I still check Reddit for them sometimes
I’d love to see stuff related to linux tech I use and obscure video game discussions. Some of my favs were:
bspwm oxenfree edgerunners
And quite a few others, but those are off the top of my head atm.
Waiting on r/linuxmasterrace tbh
Linux gaming already has 3k subs
Maybe they’ll also find a different joke than “arch btw.”
Agreed. The irony is strong there lol
