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/Swahili? It's a beautiful language.
r/ImaginaryDerelicts... Here is a hauntingly beautiful rabbit hole for you to fall down.

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.
i will miss noncredibledefence, stellaris and buttcoin too if reddit drop free api for third-party apps. and i also dont think people on that sub care about reddit drama currently
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)
Maybe~~ r/iwatchedanoldmovie
~~
Some game specifics sub's like r/MetalGearSolid, r/MetalSlug and r/HalfLife, r/moddergearsolid is a particularly obscure one.
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/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
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.
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.
I'm trying to get a SFFPC community going, if you want to check it out! https://sh.itjust.works/c/sffpc Just heads up that there's not much happening right now, but I'm hoping that changes soon!
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/
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).
At this point I don't see one. Lemmy is still quite small, probably less than 10,000 active users. I guess my comment was idealistic rather that realistic for right now.
Also one of the instances has created a community browser that lets you search communities across instances, but I haven't seen anything freecycle related: https://browse.feddit.de/
I think your instance lets anyone create a community, so you could create a freecycle community for all until there are enough users to support regional ones.
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:
pens, fountain pens
mechanical keyboards
watches
Some communities have been created for those, but don't seem to have gained much popularity.
I'm trying to get it on lemmy.ml and doing the same kind of link as you and I'm also getting a 404. It doesn't seem to be updating like yours is, but I will check back I guess. Did you do anything different while waiting for it to work?
That's worked for me before on something else on a different lemmy instance, but it doesn't seem to be working for me this time. I wonder if it's because it's kbin? Not sure.
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.
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.
Yeah that stuff needs to be heavy moderated because of laws. Probably the reason why the instances here so far don't allow pornographic communities. Nobody wants the liability.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
I found one that is quite small and about bicycle mechanics. I am willing to help if someone starts a general bicycling community or if no-one starts it I may think about starting one. For long distance cycling there's !randonneurs@sopuli.xyz
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’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
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.
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...
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.
/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.
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
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.
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.
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...
/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.
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)
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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

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).

At this point I don't see one. Lemmy is still quite small, probably less than 10,000 active users. I guess my comment was idealistic rather that realistic for right now.
There is a list of instances here: https://join-lemmy.org/instances
Also one of the instances has created a community browser that lets you search communities across instances, but I haven't seen anything freecycle related: https://browse.feddit.de/
Except maybe https://slrpnk.net/c/zerowaste?
I think your instance lets anyone create a community, so you could create a freecycle community for all until there are enough users to support regional ones.
tuckerm@kbin.social · 8 pts · 3y
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.
artillect@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
I've created https://kbin.social/m/mechanicalkeyboards, but there's nothing there yet
FirstWizardZorander@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 3y
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.
misnina@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 3y
I'm trying to get it on lemmy.ml and doing the same kind of link as you and I'm also getting a 404. It doesn't seem to be updating like yours is, but I will check back I guess. Did you do anything different while waiting for it to work?
FirstWizardZorander@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y
I think I went to the search function and searched for !mechanicalkeyboards@kbin.social Some time after that, the link started to work.
misnina@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 3y
That's worked for me before on something else on a different lemmy instance, but it doesn't seem to be working for me this time. I wonder if it's because it's kbin? Not sure.
FirstWizardZorander@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 3y
Hmm, I tried from lemmy.ml as well, as you're on that instance, and it doesn't seem to work from there. Some federation issue due to load maybe?
misnina@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 3y
Possibly. I won't bug them too much right now, I'm sure there's a lot to handle.

r/kamenrider, r/supersentai or any of the tokusatsu subs for that matter
abraxas@lemmy.ml · 8 pts · 3y
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.
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech · 9 pts · 3y
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
abraxas@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 3y
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.
GuyDudeman@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 3y
In that regard, /r/radicalchristianity would be a good one, as they’re lefty Christians (you know, like Jesus himself!)
sup@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 3y
Yes! WotShow and LOTR_on_Prime. I feel like I'm the only one who liked both shows haha
And exatheist does sound interesting
abraxas@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y
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.

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.
Mac@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 3y
Peertube is a video site that is part of the Fediverse.
misnina@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 3y
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!

/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 @Captain_Pieces The Fediverse is more than Lemmy. Maybe there is a way you can follow chirp.social/@eurovision
thegiddystitcher@beehaw.org · 1 pts · 3y
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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
