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.
Not exactly niche but I’d like to see some active gardening and diy communities. The existing ones aren’t very active.
Maybe in springtime. which ones are you subbed to?
Hopefully now discussion blooms then
I have a few!
- Vaporwave minidiscs
- Nail polish & nail art
- Skincare
- Fitness over 40
- Greyhounds
I’d settle for vaporwave at all!
Yeah definitely more musical genre related subs would be great. I loved /r/electronica and /r/dubstep before Reddit’s CEO made me wanna hurl and I stopped using their site.
I post there regularly, but it could use some more activity
Vaporwave minidiscs
I love minidiscs!! I found my Sharp MD the other week and I wanna start collecting MDs.
I was thinking of collecting MD players too, Defo want one of the later NetMD players.
Software Defined Radio, Ham Radio, RF Electronics, amateur satellites and Meshtastic.
The only community I am (more than) fully satisfied with here is Linux.
Oh, but also communities like askdentists, psoriasis, etc. Those were pretty helpful on Reddit.
Anything not tech/Linux related. It’s 90% of my feed.
There is not much Lemmy communities for discussion specific/centered around specific entertainment media (video games, anime & manga, web videos, etc)
Back when I’m still on Reddit, I’m used to lurking around a lot of these kind of communities on that site. Community centered around video game franchise like The Legend of Zelda and Sonic the Hedgehog, content creators like Linus Tech Tips and Hololive, and even some niche topics like Windows 10 LTSC and Otonokizaka
Those kinds of subreddits simply doesn’t have any equivalent in Lemmy, and even if it did, it is far far more inactive compared to its Reddit counterpart. To me that is one of the biggest problem with Lemmy right now and kinda could be a reason why there is still many user who sticked into Reddit and does not 100% migrated to Lemmy.

Agreed completely. I still have to go back to Reddit regularly becuase its the only place for discussion for a lot of my interests. For example, War Thunder, despite being a massive game, only gets a post or two a month here (all recent ones by me) and zero activity beyond that. I can’t even go to the forum, because they ban anyone who criticizes the game or says anything they disagree with. That leaves me with just Reddit, so I’m stuck going back regularly.

Have tried posting about an alternative forum on Reddit, that allows third party apps? I’ve done that after messaging the mods in some communities, some of them were quite receptive
I’m pretty sure the hololive community is active here.
It’s also a pretty self fulfilling prophecy but I get what you’re saying. Hopefully the new scaling sort gets more popular as instances upgrade to 0.19. I’ve seen so many more smaller communities since I’ve started browsing by that.
Even league of legends, a huge game worldwide, barely has a community here.
Did you mean the https://lemmy.world/c/hololive community?
Yeah I do aware that there is a Lemmy alternative to the Hololive subreddit, but the amount of active users and content available there is still aren’t enough to consider it a viable replacement for its Reddit counterpart
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
The only reason I check Reddit with any regularity anymore is for content local to where I live. There’s a few communities on the fediverse for my area, but with only minimal, sporadic activity.
I would love to see more activity around fostering animals, particularly cats. I started !fosteranimals and have participated over at !fosterkittens, but it seems there’s not many of us so far.
Edit: No clue why I can only get 1 of the 2 links to work correctly, but FosterAnimals is on kbin.social, and FosterKittens is on lemmy.world.
Beginners/basic programming for non-IT. There’s a lot of people that might want to do very simple things with arduino or other mini computers. Python, or even simple Linux tasks, that don’t want to start a whole “Programming lessons A-z” multi-stage class-format learning adventure.
Hmm… I bet the owners of r/roguelikedev could be convinced to run a Lemmy community, seems their style. I think they can be reached via discord. I might look into that, they were a good group, and helpful.
Men’s rights, but not like the piss pitt that the Reddit one has, but one that focuses on real men’s issues, like how rampant prison rape is in male prisons, parental alienation, forced military service and such.
And before anyone says that “It is men who mostly commit prison rape”, well duh, that is obvious, but prison should be a rehabilitation tool, not a punitive one, and especially not a for-profit business like it currently is.
And add the fact that prisoners should be under the care of the government, and the fact that so much abuse, sexual and otherwise is ignored and not prevented is nothing but appalling.
How about a “human rights” community that covers all genders.
That is a way better idea, as long as there is no bashing on fence issues such as circumcision and the pink tax(And I don’t mean pink tax in the sense of feminine razors being more expensive while being functionality the same as men’s razors, I mean the absurd markup on feminine hygiene products, and in some places tampons being taxed as luxury items).
more linguistics
more geography
Cacti/succulents and wine (the fermented grape juice one, not the linux one). There are cactus and succulent communities in Lemmy, but they’re not very active, and wine ones are completely dead…
if anyone links me to one ill post stuff
Which one? For cacti there’s [email protected], for succulents we have [email protected], and I couldn’t find any wine ones with more like 10 posts.
Where’s the experimental music community at?
Fiddling with their knob
Circuit Bending!!! Moreso, just broad “soldering” representation; places for unique soldering projects. Soldering hacks, solder jobs to brag about, beginners tips etc. Would be cool to have niches within the community too for different “soldering genres” like circuit bending
Lockpicking (along with the ranking system) would be great, plus it was the nicest, most friendly sub I’ve ever been in
(Original) drawings, paints, sketches made by the OP. Talk about paint, inks, papers, …work in progress stuff, problems & solutions.
Yes I loved /r/draw /r/digitalpainting and some others.
Random educational posts, like stuff that is actually useful. Like physics lessons.
[email protected] and [email protected] ?
[email protected] and other mander.xyz communities might be interesting
It doesn’t speak about the foundational basics. It mostly is a stream of complicated research articles. You can’t really learn anything that way.
