For me it's been communities like /r/buildapc, /r/buildapcforme, /r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, and /r/consoledeals have been useful throughout the years.

Hmmm ...

I'm missing a lot of more specialised things, but these are pretty broad I think

[-] Meilindis@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I'd love to see communities about:

  • crafting (fibre crafts like knitting and spinning in particular)
  • classical music
  • photography
  • Latin
  • history (r/askhistorians?)
  • cats
  • art
  • cooking
  • writing
  • Star Trek
  • menopause
  • AuDHD
  • birdwatching
  • gardening
  • reading

Glad to report that r/menopause has moved to c/menopause@lemmy.world

[-] gabuwu@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

A knitting and crochet community, regardless if its separated or together as a unified fiber arts community would be a godsend

[-] otsana@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

I found !knitting@lemmy.world trying to get off the ground. (hope I got that link formatting right)

[-] Griseowulfin@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Videos/mealtimevideos was a big thing for me. They kept me entertained while I ate lunch, lol.

[-] somethingclever@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I would love to see something like r/AskHistorians. It's my favorite sub by far, and something I have really seen anywhere else. It's heavily moderated (in a good way), and the answers are all high quality and sourced. It's pretty much why I held on to my reddit account as long as I have.

[-] Username@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

"Indie Products"- a place for people to nerd out about stuff made by small independent makers and for indie makers to find support maybe? I'm not a maker myself but I really enjoy buying from small businesses and finding out about cool products.

[-] KerooSeta@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I am a Dark Souls addict and when I quit Reddit for good on July 1st, those are the subs I'll really miss most. I'm also a history teacher and adjunct and really will suffer without /r/AskHistorians.

[-] Lowbird@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, r/askhistorians is precious.

Maybe a History community on here would be nice, at least, until there are enough folks for more specific spots.

[-] chromebby@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

r/Aquariums, r/PlantedTanks, r/Aquascape !

[-] fish@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

For me, the real magic of Reddit was in hyperspecific niche communities full of hobbyist experts -- or even professionals. Places like r/tolkienfans.

[-] isosphere@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

count me in on a tolkienfans replacement!

[-] isosphere@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I'll miss somewhere to complain about dating. In the past it's been /r/OkCupid and more recently /r/Tinder

[-] Lowbird@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I want equivalents for:

  • r/Fantasy
  • r/tipofmytongue (iirc that name - the one for helping people find shit they've forgotten)
  • maybe r/52books (it produces too many simple posts to just go in r/books, not sure if the same would be true here)
  • r/vegetarian

Edit: r/fantasy is the biggest one for me. In effect the subreddit is really more for SciFi and Fantasy, both - and other speculative fiction - and they have a yearly speculative fiction bingo card that's really fun to participate in. It's mostly books in practice but is not exclusively about books.

[-] BraveLilToaster@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

There was a time when /r/youtubehaiku was one of my most visited subs. It would be great to see more short weird videos that give you a little chuckle.

[-] hellerphant@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I'd really like to see a photography community pop up. Not necessarily a /fujifilm /leica community, but a general photography place for folks to share their snaps, and get advice about techniques and gear.

[-] redditblackoutkekw@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

A lot of these communities already exist on several instances. If you're not already aware of https://lemmyverse.net/communities I encourage y'all to peep it

[-] leanleft@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

local geographic area. ought to be easy to create and find users. useful too!

[-] Wolfric82@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Off the top of my head communities like

r/3rprinting r/instantpot r/todayilearned r/therewasanattempt r/space r/changemyview r/unpopularopinion

[-] l0st_scr1b3@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I saw it sort of mentioned, but I think niche shitposting communities like the various okbuddy subs.

Eldritch horror Garfield is essential to any online community.

[-] iam8bitwolf@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

You're joking but currently a discord I'm in has a cult over a specific Garfield Minus Garfield comic, a cult that got genuinely rowdy when the comic stopped being posted.

All I'm saying, Garfield is probably an elder god

[-] DracEULA@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I'm probably only half joking. I love when people just do weird shit for the hell of it, it reminds me of the early internet. People doodling horrific Garfield content is weirdly wholesome and just makes me happy.

[-] HeroicOnion@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

For me it's all the photography-related communities. Photography, Cinematography, Analog, & Astrophotography are the primary ones.

[-] winterstillness@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

I glanced briefly, but couldn't find a topic on it. What's the stance on NSFW (i.e. porn, art, etc.)?

[-] Rhabuko@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Most instances (servers) don't allow porn because it needs constant content moderation (laws against CP and other nasty stuff). They simply don't want the liability. But it's not forbidden to create a server that allows/hosts pornographic stuff. I bet we will see some porn servers in the near future.

[-] bread@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Game related communities (/r/tf2, /r/chess to name a few!)

Edit: Just realised I want some tech-related stuff like /r/homelab, /r/selfhosted, /r/privacy, /r/homeserver and more too

[-] Ace417@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

gotta have one for ~~my crack addiction~~ Destiny
