A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

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.

My reddit subs I guess were all niche.

Curlyhair and Tampa (dead here, and were getting a little toxic on Reddit)

Cocktails (I mod !cocktails@lemmy.world here, it's growing slowly and organically, doing ok, nice place)

Normal Nudes and Naked Progress (not here and I can't figure out how to set up a community on NSFW, and honestly modding anything NSFW is a slog I don't know if I can handle, certainly not alone)

Classic cars - there is a community https://lemmy.world/c/oldcars@kbin.social but it is basically dead

Swordsmanship.

Whether it's HEMA or otherwise (as long as it's not fencing)

[–] dueuwuje@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The weather. Be it local weather discussion pages, country etc. especially for big events.

Aerial arts - silks, trapeze, flying pole, lyra, straps, custom apparatus like cubes/chairs etc. Anything about doing artistic acrobatics on a piece of metal/fabric/other suspended in the air. The community on reddit was the perfect size but pretty much none of them came over to lemmy.

Knife making

Old Muscle car repair, building, etc.

[–] HessiaNerd@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Air-cooled VW for me, but I'd settle on auto repair general if it was active.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Individual communities for every car in existence like reddit has. And an active bitcoin community that isn't just a bot mirroring posts from reddit.

Edit: and a community for DJs.

[–] Asudox@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd love to see niche communities.

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 4 points 2 years ago

Maybe "!nicheinterests" is an idea?

[–] FunkyMonk@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

scale models.

[–] technomad@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 years ago

How about a community for paracord stuff?

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

I miss the cursed minecraft communities from reddit(r/phoenixsc and r/minecrafthmmm)

Cryptography

[–] jvrava9@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

r/jailbreak, r/sideloaded, and r/magisk. I moded the first two but there is just not enough activity.

For me it is OnePiece manga that I would like to see more active here. Currently the only option is reddit.
