Itβs the off-season right now, but Iβm hoping a successor to /r/icecoast gets established by October or November. (East coast skiing and snowboarding.)

Was this more active than r/ski or r/skiing? Those ones rarely got in to my feed.
It's the lack of really small, niche, but still relatively active communities that is the biggest loss for me (so far). For example, I want to to talk about Brentford FC, a tiny English football club which was only promoted to the Premier League a couple of years ago. But we're a million miles away from that when there are exactly two communities for general soccer and one community for Liverpool FC, all three with exactly one subscriber.
Any other Bees fans out there? This Flekken guy seems pretty promising, even if I had hopes for Alban Lafont.
I'm missing pretty much all the "League of Legends Mains" communities, especially ADCMains and SamiraMains. They were one of my absolute go-to subreddits and the only reason I haven't fully deleted my account yet.
Other then that it's mostly niche things, especially very niche wholesome fem-oriented NSFW subs
I do not miss the circle jerk subs. I admit some were funny, but most were just mean-spirited and ended up becoming worse than whatever it was they set out to make fun of. For example, the books circle jerk sub was full of snobs who snarked at people in the books sub for...gasp... liking popular books.
There's just something inherently pathetic in using a platform to make fun of others on the same platform. It's like going to a dance party solely to stand on the side and make fun of the way people dance.
I hope that sort of thing doesn't catch on here. But the "asshole filter" could creep in if lemmy reaches a high user population.
I miss /r/opensuse and an active Java community. There are a few Java communities on several servers, but they are all basically dead.
Communities that are focused on a broad topic and full of obscure knowledge. I'm really missing r/ToyotaPickups, r/atming, and r/KnifeMaking right now.

Scribus. I still use the open source DTP at work even if I have InDesign installed.
