For example, I used to follow a lot of subreddits for individual YouTube content creators, however, Lemmy doesn’t really have the size or culture to support this currently.
Headphones and audiophile stuff, especially IEMs.
I have a few!
- Vaporwave minidiscs
- Nail polish & nail art
- Skincare
- Fitness over 40
- Greyhounds
I do miss the atheist vs theists debates reddit had. It was kinda interesting hearing the same arguments over and over but having to study them in new ways.
Ok this one is arguing God exists because humans can think. Now I have to spend a few hours learning about animal intelligence. Ok this one is bringing up a first cause argument. Now I have to read the really long ebook NASA put out about the Big Bang.
It was fun challenging myself and I ended up learning.
r/jailbreak, r/sideloaded, and r/magisk. I moded the first two but there is just not enough activity.
There is not much Lemmy communities for discussion specific/centered around specific entertainment media (video games, anime & manga, web videos, etc)
Back when I’m still on Reddit, I’m used to lurking around a lot of these kind of communities on that site. Community centered around video game franchise like The Legend of Zelda and Sonic the Hedgehog, content creators like Linus Tech Tips and Hololive, and even some niche topics like Windows 10 LTSC and Otonokizaka
Those kinds of subreddits simply doesn’t have any equivalent in Lemmy, and even if it did, it is far far more inactive compared to its Reddit counterpart. To me that is one of the biggest problem with Lemmy right now and kinda could be a reason why there is still many user who sticked into Reddit and does not 100% migrated to Lemmy.
Not a hobby, but I would love to see more mental health communities that address things like anxiety, ADHD, ASD or for the ones that exist to get more traction. The lack of these things is the only reason I return to Reddit from time to time.
Cacti/succulents and wine (the fermented grape juice one, not the linux one). There are cactus and succulent communities in Lemmy, but they’re not very active, and wine ones are completely dead…
Where’s the experimental music community at?
British panel shows.
Not exactly niche but I’d like to see some active gardening and diy communities. The existing ones aren’t very active.
Maybe in springtime. which ones are you subbed to?
Hopefully now discussion blooms then
The only reason I check Reddit with any regularity anymore is for content local to where I live. There’s a few communities on the fediverse for my area, but with only minimal, sporadic activity.
I would love to see more activity around fostering animals, particularly cats. I started !fosteranimals and have participated over at !fosterkittens, but it seems there’s not many of us so far.
Edit: No clue why I can only get 1 of the 2 links to work correctly, but FosterAnimals is on kbin.social, and FosterKittens is on lemmy.world.
Software Defined Radio, Ham Radio, RF Electronics, amateur satellites and Meshtastic.
The only community I am (more than) fully satisfied with here is Linux.
Oh, but also communities like askdentists, psoriasis, etc. Those were pretty helpful on Reddit.
Aviation/Flying. r/flying had been a pretty much daily stop for me prior to leaving reddit as it was one of they only good places to talks with other pilots. I’d love to have a place to chat with other pilots and/or homebuilt aircraft folks rather than a dozen or so barely maintained forum sites.
Random educational posts, like stuff that is actually useful. Like physics lessons.
I wish there was somewhere to talk about Counter-Strike, particularly the e-sports scene.
