CastIron was one of the more niche subs in my list. Lots of good information for taking care of cast iron pans there.

I'll definitely miss r/framework the most, the community on the subreddit is awesome
A VR (virtual reality) focused community would be nice, it has a very strong community across devices all things considered.
Eurovision is probably the one I'll miss the most from Reddit. The people I talked to their were real chill.
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.
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 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.
r/RainWorld, r/ThinkPad, r/Framework, r/NonCredibleDefense, r/SpaceXMasterRace (this one isn't really about spacex), r/197
Cycling communities, specifically the non-judgemental welcoming r/xbiking.
/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.
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).
Not really niche, but CFB has the best community.
I also love OSRS and wouldnโt 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.
