What is a sub/community that you wish existed (actively) on Lemmy?
Maybe there are others like you and we can actually get it running, or maybe to already exists but you just don’t know!
Parent/Trying for pregnancy/pregnancy.
I found the pregnancy conversations on Reddit (while I was on Reddit is fun) to be much less toxic than on those discussion forums on pregnancy apps.
Model railroading. Even on Reddit those subs weren’t super active, but they at least existed.
Magic the Gathering. There’s actually 3 here already, but somehow none of them really scratch the itch to just talk about deckbuilding. And again, the 3 that are here are fairly quiet. Just doesn’t seem to be the critical mass needed.
DankChristianMemes. Was just fantastic. Perhaps the best ‘neutral’ ground I ever saw for Christians & Atheists to laugh at themselves & each other.
The small niche communities are the ones I’ll probably never see again, like /r/reverseanimalrescue /r/TheNightFeeling /r/darknetplan
Bionicle.
The Bionicle subreddit is very active, but there is no active alternative on Lemmy.
R/raisedbynarcissist for sure.
Dad for a minute and internet parents! They were my favourite
modernquilts / modernquilting, I used to look in that R and ppl shared progress pictures and finished modern quilts. Was a great source of inspiration. #modernquilts on fedi/pixelfed is quite empty unfortunately
I miss my cheap knockoff watch sub r/ChinaTime
I miss national and regional meme communities such as 2visegrad4u. Cultural and historical context makes the memes flow much better.
Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game
I wouldn’t mind some of the Random Acts to come over and be more active. Even though I never used it, I always thought the idea of the Random Acts of Pizza was a grand idea for those who are in need.
/r/liberalgunowners was a favorite. Everyone was so nice and accepting. We’d answer the same noob questions all day, no problem. None of “MuH 2A!” crap, nobody bloodthirsty. Anyway, I could go on, but it was nice while it lasted.
That seems like a really important community to have here
A community for the car I own, no matter what it is. (With thousands of active members, of course.)
Maybe not. Lemmy is very anti-car, it wouldn’t take off here and would get massively downvoted.
I’m aware of that; doesn’t mean that I can’t still wish for it
There’s [email protected], but it’s been dead for a while. I kinda miss reading those stories about assholes getting what they asked for.
Another that was fun reading occasionally was scambait, where people would fuck with scammers to waste as much of their time as possible. I don’t know if there’s anything like that on Lemmy.
More women-oriented communities would be great. Skincare, makeup, women’s fitness, female health, nail polish, aging. I’d love that.
Agree! I’d love to see more discussion around female health, not necessarily constructive but just bants about the ‘gross’ stuff, memes and complaints and stuff. The issue is that I’m a comment contributor more than a poster, as much as I try. So as much as I’d like to Be The Change, it really has to come from a lot of us posting and interacting.
A nail one would be great. Maybe we can make one.
