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

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

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

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 miss fantasy writers and magic building. I would even be willing to moderate them. But I lack any skills to contribute to them. Not to mention I’m worried that most people are not interested in move as writing subreddits struggle to get off ground.

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.

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.

I'm going to miss the subreddits for skilled trade professionals (plumbing, electrical, etc), especially the ones set up to give folks advice, like

r/askaplumber

r/mechanicadvice

r/askalocksmith

and such.

I would love to see some communities like that pop up here.

EDIT: r/contagiouslaughter was always a great way to start my day as well! I'll miss that one for sure

-prisonhooch - fermenting things that really shouldnt have been fermented into alcohol. always a good laugh to see some ridiculous ideas.

-canned fish/seafood enthusiasts

-hot sauce and/or spicy condiments

I found pretty much everything by now. But I'm still missing:

• DebateReligion
• AskScience

And of course some activity in niche communities, but that will come.

I need to see my "Imaginary" art again. There were so many subs with so much variety.

I'd love these:

• /c/WoTshow
• /c/nanocurrency
• /c/cryptocurrency
• /c/banano
• /c/cryptomonkeys

I'd love to see one for my state and one for my city, I was surprised they didn't exist

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.

m/sinkpissers 😏

Contagiouslaughter, Tooktoomuch, Tookjustenough, popculturechat

Some game specific ones. Like, Satisfactory, Elden Ring. A Boomer Shooter specific magazine/community might be nice. There's a Toronto biking specific subreddit, but not sure threadiverse is big enough to have enough bicyclists from Toronto for it yet

I'd like to see something similar to r/bigbangedmemes or r/blackholedmemes, these subs are about editing heavily a meme screenshot/image at the point to turn it into an un-understandable trippy image, at a point where it's almost a form of art. They are still public on reddit right now so I don't know if it's a good idea to create an alternative here already.

Noncredibledefense of all the subs I'm jonesing for that one the most.

A PCcomponents community to replace the separate intel, amd and nvidia subreddits. With the better moderation across lemmy I’m hopeful that it wouldn’t turn into flame wars between brands.

Honestly I miss tech support subreddits the most. I really enjoyed killing some time scrolling through and seeing who I can help.

The thing is I don't know if that would be as useful here as on somewhere like Reddit because the bar to enter Lemmy and find a tech support page is a little higher.

Still could be useful and I imagine a few ones exist but I've only seen them for specific things like Lemmy so far

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.

I really miss shitpost crusaders

r/gainit and r/gtaonline (I don't play gta anymore, I just stayed for the big community)

I miss r/rpg_gamers, some game dev subreddits, and like... The emulation/crtgaming/dosgaming type crowd. It's the only reason I still end up checking reddit. But I know it'll take time to grow more communities interested in these

CleaningTips

I only found that sub a couple days before the blackout and it was so satisfying and helpful 😭

Also there is a hair magazine but it doesn't seem to be active 🤷‍♀️

Gundeals. Those dudes need to migrate over here.

I'm going to miss r/gunpla and my local town and city subreddits. There's a gunpla community on Lemmy, but it's still pretty small, and my town and city communities are definitely still leaving a lot to be desired. I hope I can contribute some, but I really did find a lot of value there I'll be missing

A big one I'll miss is the Diablo subreddit. It was filled with contentious assholes, but the content was typically good.

eli5, changemyview, EnglishLearning

a populated c/drugs

morbidquestions

R/hpmor, r/dresdenfiles, and other fiction based subreddits

I still need to dig around and see what all is here, but Nosleep was my fave sub and I'm really going to miss some of my fave writers I found on there.

Also, some of the funny cat subs, state/city/specific location subs and things to do in those areas, antiwork, eh...my list isn't too long.

I'm a refugee from the other site, and I'm a trans guy. I'd love to see an equivalent to r/ftmover30 - it was such a good resource for those of us who are older, dealing with adult problems like jobs, marriages, parenting.

So many internet spaces for trans people skew younger - that's not a bad thing, it's just not always super helpful for people transitioning later in life, or who are just simply dealing with different problems that come from being in a different stage of life. It was really nice to have a niche where I could talk about stuff that the young 'uns just can't relate to.

r/hockey

maybe a roblox community or ones aimed towards cetain games and suggestions for games or should i buy (this), also ones to go to when bored or sad.

This is posted quite a bit, before all the comments come in, folks please check the community browser to see if it exists before creating one https://browse.feddit.de/

@VoidCrow

/c/raidshadowlegends is the only interest i have that has not shown ip here yet

A populated aquarium/fishkeeping community

Just dropping in here to leave a useful resource for you all https://lemmyverse.net/communities

You can set your home instance in the top right and it'll generate direct links for you to avoid all the faffing about with copy pasting.

VXJunkies, BuyItForLife, most sports communities.

Okay don't judge me but something like r/fauxmoi and r/BollywoodBlindsNGossip. They're just entertaining.

Also r/longreads, a community for sharing high quality long form articles. I love reading them before bed.

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.

As a lonely lemming I'd like to see the r4r communities find a home.

One for black desert mobile

Ben 10. I made one but no one has joined. Dresden files, and Fantasy writing.
