Waiting on r/linuxmasterrace tbh

r/woodworking would be nice.

Big anime titties, medium anime titties, banned in Australia anime titties, and monster girls.

r/piracy

r/electronics

r/rce

r/diy

r/diyaudio

r/diwhy

r/edm

r/edmproduction

r/angryupvote

r/masterhacker

r/mathmemes

r/sciencememes

r/physicsmemes

r/chemsitrymemes

r/bilogymemes

r/onejob

r/outoftheloop

r/printers

r/redneckengineering

r/torrents

r/tvtoohigh

r/winehq

r/youtubedl

r/weird

r/outside. That place is such a needed mental break.

Oh boy , it will be fun when 2westerneuropean4you gets here

r/liveaudio r/mixingandmastering r/bitwig r/ableton r/ethereum

all of the Linux subreddits I browse + r/selfhosted, r/homelab, r/datahoarder.

all of these seem like easy fits for the fediverse.

Oh shit, am I a niche communities redditor already feeling anxious about losing all my anonymous internet peeps.

r/vxjunkies - Although that sub is most fun when randos stumble onto it and get confused. Which might not work as well in Federation world.

r/worldbuilding, r/loremasters

r/TolkeinFans. Discussing the legendarium on a scholarly level.

r/nsfwworldbuilding (which is a great place for thoughtful, mature, intellectual conversations about really creative ideas like quantum pregnancy and all male Orc societies ... and THEN pictures of nude bee women leaking honey from their boobs).

r/magicthecirclejerking, r/linuxcirclejerk, r/whowouldcirclejerk - these subs are my go to "I need to laugh" subs.

r/AskHistorians. What can replace this awesomeness... like ever?

r/ShermanPosting. Make this angry leftist feel like a burning patriot.

r/LateStageCapitalism. I need my angry leftist anticap memes.

r/StableDiffusion

r/Swahili? It's a beautiful language.

r/ImaginaryDerelicts... Here is a hauntingly beautiful rabbit hole for you to fall down.

r/PrintSF... it's literally how I find new books to rea...listen to. I consume audiobooks at a terrifying rate.

r/Podcasts because see above.

r/Qubes. I like my linux like I like my lovers, paranoid and with DID.

r/HomeNetworking

r/AskNetSec and r/OpSec

r/FifthWorldProblems and it's multiverse of affiliates, including r/MadMudMen and r/EnglightenedBirdMen

r/Daddit. I posted my "Here we are at a playground for the first time" pictures 12 years ago... I was looking forward to reposting those alongside the graduation pictures in 4 years.

r/WitchesVsPatriarchy. Yes, I'm a cishet white man, fuck the patriarchy and fuck toxic masculinity.

r/ChaoticGood. This sub makes me happy.

Is there seriously no r/WhoWoulWin equivalent? That boggles me.

We also REALLY need something like r/findareddit, if there isn't such a thing yet.

some of the more or less interesting ones i came across...

r/InternetIsBeautiful r/AlpineLinux r/CoOpGaming r/antiXLinux r/devuan r/gamedeals r/privacyhardware r/opensourcegames r/FreeGaming r/fossdroid r/linux4noobs r/commandline r/channelsofyoutube r/DeepIntoYouTube r/ChannelWatch r/EatCheapAndHealthy r/Foodforthought r/initFreedom r/irc r/KeepOurNetFree r/linux_devices r/suckless r/techsupport r/unknownvideos r/usenet r/youtubeclassics r/suggestmeabook r/thinkpad r/DistroTube r/odysee r/lbry r/peertube r/FOSSPhotography r/DepthHub r/TrueFilm r/socialscience r/AskSocialScience r/UpliftingNews r/LinuxPhones r/startpages r/terminal_porn r/nodrm r/Antifeatures r/FreeAudio r/listentothis (separated by genre)

This seems way too unlikely to happen, but r/askhistorians. It's an exceptionally well moderated (if a bit overzealous) community that allows for both the average person to ask seemingly impossible, very specific questions as well as academics to express their knowledge and passion for those very same super specific topics they find fascinating; but have difficulty finding an audience to listen to them in their day to day lives.

Non ironically, r/fossdroid would easily find a way into the fediverse

Actually a few, but to list some

r/PublicDomain

r/MirrorsEdgeAesthetics

r/MovieSuggestions

r/LostMedia

rMediumReadings

r/RockinTheClassics

r/REgames

r/CarHacking could also be good

Maybe~~ r/iwatchedanoldmovie ~~ Some game specifics sub's like r/MetalGearSolid, r/MetalSlug and r/HalfLife, r/moddergearsolid is a particularly obscure one.

Most of the console modding subs like r/360hacks, r/WiiUHacks which is going dark, r/PS3Homebrew and so on.

From my own feed that's about it, with the exception of some piracy ones like rCemuPiracy r/LinuxCrackSupport and r/SteamDeckPirates, among others. And a couple in particular that push a bit closer to the work unsafe side, so those wouldn't be here.

r/buttcoin, every time I feel bad about myself I like reading about crypto fails to remind myself that I could have made even worse decisions.
r/noncredibledefense, makes the horror of the war not far from me a bit more bearable

• selfhosted

r/degoogle r/linuxmasterrace r/linuxfornoobs r/Linux r/whatplantisthis r/eattheweeds

A couple of my hobbies that I've seen barely getting started here... photography and mycology. There's a lot to explore in both without getting wrapped up in religion or politics.

r/AmITheAsshole and r/BestofRedditorUpdates. I love the drama.

not a niche but i find lack of foodie and cooking communities on lemmy disturbing, also pcmr (isn't it too elitist for lemmy?), /r/sffpc, /r/mffpc

Cats! Where are the cats?

r/HobbyDrama or a more hobby oriented history community. Also r/AskHistorians or similar, although that one will take more effort and setting up than simply making the community. I personally use Reddit to see a couple memes and then read both of the subs I mentioned. I like seeing people who are passionate about a thing talk about the history of that thing.

r/Aviation and r/KerbalSpaceProgram equivalents would be welcomed by me.

Conlangs!

I'm hoping that some of the writing and image sharing subreddits make their way on here. Specifically: r/AbandonedPorn/, r/AccidentalRenaissance/, r/ImaginarySliceOfLife/, and r/LetsNotMeet/

• touhou
• linuxmasterrace
• country communities, like lithuania

POST SCRIPTUM: a community for developers

r/ultralight, r/myog and r/wildernessbackpacking

You can tell what I'm into.

Definitely /r/mechanicalkeyboards

r/usbchardware

r/goldenretrievers

r/singapore

r/nottheonion

r/antiwork

r/impracticaljokers

r/amateurradio r/flashlight

Please can we have a "BuyNothing" or "Freecycle" Comunity? One for each city/region/area would be better but If needed we could have just one where post titles contain the location (SacramentoCA) before anything else. Then sorting / Searching would weed out the unwanted due to distance items.

/r/talesfromtechsupport /r/maliciouscompliance and /r/prorevenge always give me a chuckle.

I really enjoy r/archery hope they make it here

A couple, I think. WoTshow is one I really liked. And exatheist is a tiny sub where a bunch of people who were once atheists of all different religions talk religious philosophy.

I've seen a few people mention fighting games on here (e.g. Street Fighter). I'd be interested in that. The number of gameplay clips people would be sharing make me think it ought to be its own instance, though.

Also:

• pens, fountain pens
• mechanical keyboards
• watches

Some communities have been created for those, but don't seem to have gained much popularity.

/r/futurama
/r/3Dprinting
/r/swift.

Visual Novels would be nice. And maybe a place to talk about my biggest guilty pleasure... Porn games 🤡

r/kamenrider, r/supersentai or any of the tokusatsu subs for that matter

r/Arduino!

r/Fatsquirrelhate

It's exactly what you think it is.

Big city communities. Like Milwaukee (could fit into Midwest social)

Why is there no /c/TIL ?

Honestly its just my local city subreddit, and the community for my favorite 2nd tier sports team. It has barely enough users even on reddit though, so it probably won't survive with a smaller overall user base.

Most of these are on Reddit, but there may be a few that I thought could be specific, but not as niche as some of the ones on reddit. (like no community just for one game)

Van conversion/van life

Birding

Camping and hiking

AmITheAsshole

Each state in the US

Longevity

Kindlescribe/e-ink

RestlessLeg (or a chronic condition community)

Woodworking (bigger builds)

Carving (smaller builds, not furniture or big stuff)

Nutrition

NextFuckingLevel

JRPG

Turn-Based RPGs

Action/Adventure Games

r/homeassistant r/houseplants r/ebikes r/surfing r/golang

randnsfw 😏

malelivingspace, blacksmithing, fishing, hunting, calligraphy, archery, wma, preppersales

Motorcycles, Synthesizers and Metal music/memes.

There are several groups on reddit that I have enjoyed, and am going to really miss unless I find some fediverse versions. It's the agony columns, all the ones where people ask for advice. Like r/AITA, and r/RomanticAdvice. There are so many of them.

What are some similar ones in this platform?

I miss the retro gaming and computing subreddits, and I miss the circlejerk subs, they're comedy gold.

Where's all the game developer communities?

/r/FreeGameFindings

MLB, NFL, NBA, etc. communities

marijuanaenthusiasts, DankVotingReformMemes, designdesign, GlamourBeards, HeavySeas, ididthejobboss, itsslag, mechanical_gifs, Justrolledintotheshop, NeutralPolitics, Unextexted, StraightsBeingOK, StreetArtPorn, Zoomies, wowthissubexists, streetwear, specializedtools, britishproblems, so many!

r/ipod The iPod modding community is alive and well and I love it.

r/anarchychess. Where else would I get seventeen unoriginal en passant jokes a day?

r/NixOS

r/oneorangebraincell, r/standardissuecat, r/GuiltyGear, r/CuratedTumblr

I want to see r/conlangs migrating.

It's the only subreddit that I'm still contributing in good faith with. The community is beehaw levels of nice, and the mods are surprisingly competent and decent people, not trashy like the r/linguistics ones.

The only issue with r/conlangs is that it's in Reddit. But if they were to migrate, frankly? I'd be glad to help them out. Perhaps even donate to whatever instance they create.

Forgot about Hydrohomies too

I’ve setup an instance focused on some niche topics and hobbies, there’s not much there yet but here they are if anyone wants to check them out:

FFXIV → https://possumpat.io/c/ffxiv

Bugs → https://possumpat.io/c/bugmenagerie

Esports → https://possumpat.io/c/esports

Gundam → https://possumpat.io/c/gundam

Star Trek → https://possumpat.io/c/startrek

Xenoblade → https://possumpat.io/c/xenoblade

I would like r/autism

I would like to see:

r/NoSleep r/skincareaddiction r/math r/cpp r/python r/gonewildaudio

• Wow, wownoob, and other game specific subreddits.
• Star Trek, Star Wars, and other sci-fi movie/show related subreddits
• NFL team and other sports related subreddits
• Fantasy Football

I really hope /r/xbiking makes its way here! I'm addicted to seeing their creations.

/r/sweden /r/languagelearning /r/svenska /r/girlgamers and /r/witchesvspatriarchy

I hope that the main Xenoblade subreddit can have a faction over here. There's lots of interesting comments there.

/r/pencils It's not weird I like pencils!

If anyone is looking, I made !amateur_radio (https://sh.itjust.works/c/amateur_radio).

I would like to see r/stunfisk, its the main pokeon subreddit of the smogon single battles format, but it would be really cool if the pokemon subs would get together and make their own lemmy instance

r/dmacademy

humansbeingbros is my wholesome dose, so to me that'd be essential.

Oh and also cozyplaces. It's quite fun and interesting to see how people make their living environment quite so cozy and enjoyable.

r/vinyl, r/audiophile, r/dankchristianmemes, r/steamdeck, r/neovim, r/bash, r/awk, r/ambientmusic

obscuremedia, tipofmytongue, gameboy, consolerepair

r/LittleBigAdventure, r/OpenMW, r/RimWorld, r/Thrive, r/adhdmeme, and r/WarAndPeas (whose user has a mastodon account too).

I want r/aquariums, r/plantedtank, r/walstad, r/[the city I live in], r/[state if live in], r/mylittlepony, r/myilttlehmmmm, r/hmmmm, these are just the ones im missing the most.

All of the Warhammer related subreddits!

I wouldnt describe it as niche, but Pathfinder 1st Edition.

It's pretty damn new, but the only reason I keep popping back on reddit is to go to r/HyruleEngineering. The problem is that it relies on the easiness of reddit hosting the video for these short clips which lemmy currently couldn't handle. Though, people there are dedicated enough to their builds and information that they would probably be the ones who would make burner youtube accounts to upload things.

r/askscience, r/GraphicsProgramming, r/Throwers

I'm in a few different subs on Reddit, but the ones id love to see the most here would probably be:

r/stellaris r/crusaderkings r/kotor r/fireemblem and r/talesfromtechsupport

not a niche, but not on lemmy -> r/Pizza !!!
r/BarefootRunning
r/cheesemaking
r/freebsd
r/zfs

Knives would be great.

r/superbowl

r/mademesmile

A lot of game specific subreddits - r/Undertale, r/CelesteGame, r/HadesTheGame, r/DeadCells, r/Terraria...

It seems like !movies@lemmy.ml, and !television@lemmy.ml are relatively dead communities (at least on the lemmy.ml) instance. I'm hoping we'll see more discussions happening over there in the near future.

I was going to say /r/ExperiencedDevs, but it looks like they made an official instance at programming.dev. So that's pretty great.

genshin_impact, honkaistarrail, and wildrift

r/hotpeppers

I grow super hots and love looking at people's gardens.

Would love to see r/hobbydrama, r/nosleep, and r/popculturechat

• r/metroidvania
• r/singingdogs
• r/cateatingvegans
• r/debateavegan

Quite niche, but communities for specific games (Path of Exile, Last Epoch, Grim Dawn) as well as audiophile subs (audiophile, budget audiophile).

I’ve been mindlessly scrolling through r/M43 which is basically a sub to share and discuss Micro Four Thirds photography. I’d love for a community like that to show up here!

lemmy.ml/c/watercolor is my new little home. People, come join!

Not sure if it's niche, but more UK based communities are needed. Not sure the place is big enough for city by city or even county. But UK politics, casual, sport, etc...

r/knightsofpineapple r/sbubby r/brandnewsentence r/cyberdeck r/Iteration110Cradle r/functionalprint

Cycling communities, specifically the non-judgemental welcoming r/xbiking.

r/YoutubeHaiku

Weird ones like the ones about the letter wars, eg r/theLetterH

And generally communities about movies and tv shows, eg dedicated series subreddits

/r/internet_funeral. Probably my favorite sub on reddit.

I spend way too much time on r/coffee. A lot of people think we are pretentious snobs (which can be true sometimes) but we're just stuck in the neverending pursuit of the "perfect cup."

Also r/linguistics and r/mathematics are fun to read, especially when new papers are published and there's a discussion going on

I’m sure I will think of more but r/plex jumps to mind

Anything Lego-related, really!

r/mbti 16 mbtis

r/infp

Hobbydrama It was kinda interesting hearing about the inner workings and happenings in hobby's you never even heard about.

not that niche, but /r/globaloffensive for tournament updates and results

It's not a community but a bot. i want u/WanderingDwarfMiner on here :)

FOR ROCK AND STONE!

I'm surprised there isn't a c/wtf yet..

Oooer

r/RimWorld, and I would love to see r/KGATLW migrate over.

/r/trackers and /r/opensignups. the private torrent community is thriving.

I have a lot of niche interests I would love to see made, like OSR ttrpgs, 3DS hacks, iPads, emulation, cargo bikes, and Note taking.

• r/BestofRedditorUpdates

• r/coaxedintoasnafu

• r/DeTrashed

• r/dumbphones

• r/digitalminimalism

• r/ForgottenWeapons

• r/fucklawns

• r/OpenSignups

• r/QAnonCasualties

• r/IllegalLifeProTips

Not trying to start any political debates. These are just some of the subreddits that I would like to see as communities here on Lemmy. Feel free to comment if some of these exist and I'll update my comment.

Ah, just realized that almost none of these are actually niche. Whoops.

/R/credibledefense I love the deep dives into defense procurement. Really hoping to find a community like that. I would make my own but I have no idea how to start and I don't have the background needed to be a good moderator (Or whatever the lemmy equivalent would be) in that kind of topic.

r/grandorder Probably my most used subreddit. Also r/hololive and r/nijisanji

LOINUX!

Is there a way for following non-Lemmy communities of the Fediverse on Lemmy? I think it would really be useful and would fill the gap. Also, communities like guppe groups are quite active.

r/klippers would be a nice addition

Id love a community for motorcycles, haven't seen much in the way of automotive on Lemmy yet.

Textbooks! (/r/textbook) :)

r/girlgamers! r/JRPG! r/programmingcirclejerk (really, any of the circlejerks are a riot)! maybe r/sneerclub?

From a quick scroll through my subscriptions I think these are the ones I'm most looking forward to: r/dynastyff, r/futebol, all the cat related ones, r/diwhy, r/atbge, r/gtbae, r/outoftheloop, r/unraid, r/writingprompts, r/youdontsurf.

/r/eurovision, although the season just ended so it would be a bit quiet right now anyway.

/r/fantasyfootball, that season is just about to kick off so would be good timing

If you'd asked this a day earlier I'd have said /r/casualUK but we now have !ukcasual@lemmy.world

And the various specific craft subs. Currently we're posting all craft projects to !creative@beehaw.org but sooner rather than later I think it'll have to be split up into individual crafts because if there's one thing crafters love even more than the actual making stuff, it's showing off the stuff we made.

The niche anime ones. Where's my bros at r/Kaguya_sama? r/SpyxFamily? r/swordartonline? etc?

Though I'm happy that I've seen one niche anime community today and that's Bocchi the Rock's.

r/theculture

r/HighQualityGifs

r/rockectleague

r/shittysuperpowers is pretty fun. People trying to make useless, or, preferably, even worse, superpower, and people in comments trying to make it actually OP

r/shortcuts is a favorite of mine

A second one I forgot, is the livestreaming stuff. I did make c/livestreaming, but I will admit guiltily browsing drama of r/LivestreamFails at times. Was awful most of the time, but guilty pleasures are just that. I am a vtuber so I like some of those subs, but that's even more niche then the niche that is livestreaming, so that's a tall ask for here.

r/sorceryofthespectacle Absolute schizposting by the weirdest degenerates I've ever met. Sometimes they make me laugh, and sometimes they are quite profound. Often though its amphetamine/psychosis/C-PhilosophyDegree fueled rants.

Definitely r/kitler

r/welding

r/instax r/polaroid r/amputee r/tuckedinkitties

/r/talesfromtechsupport /r/maliciouscompliance and /r/prorevenge always give me a chuckle.

r/zillowgonewild, r/mcmansionhell, r/lastfm, and r/humansarespaceorcs have always been fun places for me. History-centric and hyperlocal neighborhood-level subs, too.

I also like most of the circlejerk subs. Maybe straightforward communities here will be less self-serious, thus making [blank]jerk counterparts unnecessary.

Does anyone play Slay the Spire? There's a cool community driven game going on, on the subreddit and it'd be cool to bring it over here too.

r/RainWorld, r/ThinkPad, r/Framework, r/NonCredibleDefense, r/SpaceXMasterRace (this one isn't really about spacex), r/197

r/noncredibledefense. We need some excellent spaces to shitpost about the MIC, and a space where we can collectively laugh at the 2nd army of the world getting it's ass kicked by the poorest nation in Europe

Geez, an active metalmemes.

Properly moderated morbidquestions

I'm trying to get an edc branch going, as well as one for knives. It's an uphill thing just like starting a new sub would be though.

/r/hotpeppers

Those country ones, I'm in r/sweden and r/korea

A VR (virtual reality) focused community would be nice, it has a very strong community across devices all things considered.

r/Terraform would be awesome

CastIron was one of the more niche subs in my list. Lots of good information for taking care of cast iron pans there.

r/powerwashingporn, it was my first Reddit experience, which really showed me that this website had a specialized community for everything. That fact is what got me hooked...

Ham radio already exists, but I hope it blows up.

Powerlifting would be great. It has a decent following on reddit. I created the community here so we'll see if people move over.

ShermanPosting

/r/relationships

Eurovision is probably the one I'll miss the most from Reddit. The people I talked to their were real chill.

r/huginn

I am waiting for r/mechmarket or something similar for mechanical keyboards stuff and artisans

/r/RidersChallenge
What a wonderful sub.

I've gone ahead and created !fgc@kbin.social and !splatoon@kbin.social. Would like to have focused subs for individual fighting games (Skullgirls, ThemsFightinHerds), but that's probably not practical yet. Generally I'd just like to look up whatever game I'm playing right now and find a community for it.

Would also like to see /mahjong as well, may set that up myself later.

I'd like to see r/adhdwomen, r/bropill, r/SantaMuerte, r/oldhagfashion, r/MensLib, r/Vaush, r/knitting, and just about all of the cat subs.

Streaming related communities for episode discussion!

I'll definitely miss r/framework the most, the community on the subreddit is awesome

I wish there was an Arab focused community. But it seems my fellow Arabs don't care much for open source or the privacy issues of Reddit.

I also wish to see more specialized sciences as communities, where they discuss advanced topics.

listentothis

trailers

all the music genre subs

plus a https://reddit.musicplayer.io for lemmy

/manwha /progressionfantasy

I'm new to the whole fediverse thing, but - if you've got an interest in a specific, uh... Sub? Fed? Community? Why not create one yourself?

/r/ifyoulikeblank

/r/handwriting and /r/ggggg

NFL

Dallas Cowboys

90's Alternative Music

Silly things like r/nononoyes or r/musicaljenga

FGC fighting game community

SquaredCircle, gotta talk my wrestling

Not really niche, but CFB has the best community.

I also love OSRS and wouldn’t mind seeing a Drum Corps community as well.

r/simpsonsshitposting

AnimalsBeingDerps IdiotsOnFire LifeProTips TodayILearned ThatLookedExpensive JustRollledIntoTheShop WeWantPlates

Already made !paintball@midwest.social , here's hoping some players start floating in.

/r/sorceryofthespectacle, /r/theoryofpropaganda, /r/darkgnosis, /r/hermeticism, /r/alternativehistory

Trueanon

witchesvspatriarchy, runefactory, nostalgia, Breaking Benjamin

For r/wholesomeyuri there is !wholesomeyuri@reddthat.com

Any show or game specific sub, like r/darlsouls or r/onepunchman. It will be a while before enough people are on Lemmy to justify making a dedicated place for them

Podman

r/Heraldry

I miss /r/me_irl and /r/shitpostxiv so I still check Reddit for them sometimes

I’d love to see stuff related to linux tech I use and obscure video game discussions. Some of my favs were:

bspwm oxenfree edgerunners

And quite a few others, but those are off the top of my head atm.
