What are some communities you'd like to see on Lemmy that don't exist yet?

VoidCrow@lemmy.world to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 5 points –

This goes out to all the homies that don't have the time/energy to moderate, and to the ones that do that would like ideas (If there's been posts about this already then I'm srry)

I'd like to find a good archery community. I think I want to pick it up as a hobby, but don't know where to start.

Very niche, but I would love to see a (bullet) journaling community on here. it was one of my favourite places to go on reddit. Also miss the fantasy community, but as I understand it, there are a lot of new communities in beta related to favourite authors and such.

Here are the subreddits I would miss the most:

  • Am I the Asshole
  • LegalAdvice
  • Parenting / Daddit
  • thingsmykidsaid
  • whatisthisthing

...and all of the local/regional subreddits for cities / metro areas around the world.

Personally I'm just going to miss the oddly specific meme subreddits like r/breadstapledtotrees and r/suspiciousquotes

Personally I don't care at all, but I've got a few friends hoping for a good gun group similar to liberalgunowners.

I would like a video group like r/unexpected and r/kidsarefuckingstupid for funny vids to share with my wife at bedtime.

Right now I feel like a new interesting and active community is appearing every hour or two so I'm not in a rush, I'm enjoying watching the whole lemmiverse taking its first big steps

My list

Funsies & Weird brainstorming

  • /r/competitiveoverwatch aka /r/cow (I don't play the game but I sure enjoy the juice)
  • /r/hobbydrama (very diverse type of juicy dramas, miam!)
  • /r/overwatchTMZ (/r/cow but extended)
  • /r/valorantcompetitive (same reasoning for the OW one)
  • /r/livestreamfail (don't post there; but is fun to occasionally lurk and see funny stuffs and be up to date with the latest online juicers)
  • /r/anarchychess
  • /r/singularity
  • /r/BestofRedditorUpdates
  • and 20 more cute animal pictures/videos subreddits like /r/partyparrots, /r/happycowgifs, etc.

Stuffs I use for er..... productivity! yeah yeah productivity, that's right!

  • /r/obsidianmd I enjoy seeing other people's workflow and new tools being developed
  • /r/chatgpt (Recently the main sub went to shit with the influx of new users so /r/chatgptcoding or /r/chatgptpro might be better lol)

Subreddits that I often get led by Google search engine and it would be sad if they were to go down perpetually since I would have a very hard time without them...

  • /r/homelab
  • /r/automation
  • /r/selfhosted
  • /r/datahoarder
  • /r/android
  • /r/sysadmin
  • /r/kitchenconfidential
  • /r/appliancerepair/

I'm also very interested in how some different jobs work so I subbed out to these to check on them occasionally... and they sometimes would provide interesting workflows/insights that I can a-hem, take inspiration from...

  • /r/ExperiencedDevs/
  • /r/accounting
  • /r/uxdesign

There's way more but I visit those a bit less, the problem is, I'm not sure if Lemmy can fill the void in my heart but if it does for those main ones (all above) then I think that I can permanently migrate from Reddit.

What I'm missing the most:

  • AmateurRoomPorn, FemaleLivingSpace, MaleLivingSpace and similars. Plenty of ideas on how to decorate my home, suggestions,..

  • OneOrangeBraincell, Flonkers, MurderMittens, ToeFeathers, PouchCatatoes and other 'niche' cat subreddits. I can survive with the already existing IllegallySmolCats and Cats, I guess.

  • GifRecipes, ShittyGifRecipes, ShittyFoodPorn. Ones for learning new stuff to cook, others.. for learning what NOT to cook thankyouverymuch.

  • HistoryMemes

  • Tattoos

  • Submechanophobia

I would like to see things related to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC, or films in general. I would also like a news community, although there might already be one.

Definitely all the question-answer subreddits, like AskScience, AskScienceFiction (though for the love of god please call it AskFiction this time), NoStupidQuestions, TooAfraidToAsk, ChangeMyView (with the Delta bot), AskMeAnything.

AskReddit equivalent already exists: AskKbin@kbin.social.
