What communities ("subreddits") would you like to see?
3 years ago by Einar to c/asklemmy
Is there anything you'd like to talk about or share but haven't found a place to do so? What communities (or "subreddits" for all Reddit refugees) would you like to see?
This could be a resource for anyone wanting to start a community and find out what people are looking for, and a place to request a community you just haven't found yet.
That's not happening either - I would not be a moderator or leader of any community even if it was a paid position :) It's fine though - I can definitely live without it, I'll just need a bit of time to get over the addiction fully - I am surprised at how much I like this place, so it's actually going much smoother than I expected.
What is it?
I really miss my local city sub. It had barely any traffic but it would keep me in touch with certain events abs news.
I tended to use Reddit for smaller niche communities, many of which I do not see here yet. For example Eldin Ring, Ghost of Tsushima, Hot Sauce, Gifrecipes, Rings of Power, PTCGL. It will be nice when these can be created and have enough people to make it interesting but it's not there yet.
Found this yesterday as well
Here the link in a form that doesn't crash Jerboa:
r/toiletsstapledtotrees
Niche, but I enjoyed Stereograms.
Cosplay, anyone? Like sewing, there's some amazing artists out there.
a new home for r/comics!
The two that I can think of are Justrolledintotheshop and Fitness. I know there are fitness communities, but I miss the Weekly rant, victory posts, and the activity. There was also a circlejerk version of it and I liked lurking there. I understand that the type of person signing up here probably aren’t into some of these things.
I know Justrolledintotheshop didn’t participate in the blackout because it seems like a lot of the posters there didn’t care about the API stuff. They also don’t care about their personal data being harvested, and I’m sure they complain about right to repair and all of that fun stuff too.
Anyways, I always liked the “humorous posts; educational comments” subreddit. Another example would be programmerhumor.
I appreciate the mods for what they do, but I only feel comfortable commenting, lurking, and the occasional posting. Posting content makes me feel too connected to the internet and reminds me to touch grass more often. Hence why I wouldn’t become a mod or create those subs
Tifu exists:
There is also this one: https://lemmy.world/c/tifu it has been active lately.
For the racing enthousiasts, I created c/wec . Feel free to join, I'm lonely over there :D
None really, got all my crafts here already and my other account has all kinds of gamedev communities to follow. Now that Star Trek is here and a couple of people have set up Eurovision communities, not to mention UKCasual is here, I'm pretty sorted!
Just need more people to join in with the ones that exist, now.
Do you have any gamedev communities to recommend?
Sure! !gamedev@lemmy.blahaj.zone (Lemmy link) / (Kbin link) has become the most active general gamedev one although there are others, if you visit this one you'll see there's a pinned thread with links to all kinds of related communities you might like. Engine specific ones as well as other general gamedev ones and so on.
[Kinda random yapping] Hopefully some day the link stuff gets sorted >.<; Here on kbin the "local link" points at c/gamedev@lemmy.blahaj.zone, but kbin uses m/ instead of c/ so it doesn't work. Switching to m/ is doable enough but it'll be nice for that (and general inter-instance fussness) to be no longer necessary :-\
This is perfect thank you I was going to add a Kbin version but wasn't sure exactly what would work. Imma start doing that for everything now!
A malazan book of the fallen community and a world of tanks blitz one
I feel like for Malazan the only alternatives have been discord servers, and maybe the old forum but I haven’t been there in a long time.
Do you have links to the discords?
I'm listening to HoC on audiobook. Its been kind of hard to follow because I haven't had a pile of time to listen consistently.
If you’re going through the series for the first time, I really recommend listening to the Ten Very Big Books podcast and joining their discord. They have great spoiler-free discussions throughout the whole series.
I thought that I was in another one called Moons Spawn, but I can’t seem to find it anymore.
Awesome! Thanks! I've been putting the pieces together for the most part, but this will certainly be helpful
I would love to see a disc golf magazine
There is one over on lemmy.world. only 10 members right now.
Thanks for the heads up!
Where is VexillologyCirclejerk? Is it safe? Is it all right?
Another vote for justrolledintotheshop.
What I liked about reddit was that there was seemingly a sub for everything, no matter how ultra specific. Like r/master returns for vids of dogs happily greeting their owners, or a sub for wolfs eating watermelons etc. As far as I can tell, there are substitutes for the basic, most known subs here but ultra specific stuff lile this will probably take time.
I also miss communities for specific games I play. There are some, but even those are not super active and only for some bigger games.
What would be supper useful though is to have a place where you can ask what communities you could join based on what you want - like r/findareddit (edit: nvm, just found findacommunity@lemmy.ml!)
i enjoy reading /r/comics. the creators are still posting in reddit so the /c/comics here is not active. Maybe we can create a bot that will scrap data from reddit and post it in lemmy? Just make sure to tag or mention the OC
This one is a hard one, but so many of my favorite podcast subreddits aren't available here for sending in memes and OC. Miss those communities.
Do you have examples?
I would love for !badminton@fanaticus.social to get some attention :)

Celiac/gluten free, Natureismetal, Animalsbeinggenius'
Terraria, Perfectlycutscreams but that would require video embedding, Minecraft, a lot of the chaotic comedy subs from reddit but again, video embedding. I'm sure there's more but that's what comes to mind right now.
I'm holding out for a College Football community (or, really, an FCS football community). We're coming up on the season, and I'm gonna miss the shit talking and Game Day threads, not to mention general CFB news and updates.
So far a couple of big ones (askreddit) and an unnamed one I used to occasionally go on using teddit on my PC browser are here, but I'm hoping that garfieldminusgarfield and imsorryjohn migrate if they already haven't.
To add to that, I would wish for "calvinandhobbes". 😊
Sublemmys
I want to see the see silly story subreddits: TIFU, AITA, Am I the Devil, things like that. And I'll miss Best of Reddit updates.
Some game communities still come to mind. Snowrunner doesn't exist yet. And many others.
No Man's Sky does, though.
I don't think we're bringing back watchpeopledie

My local subreddit, but it will sadly never happen, because the overwhelming majority of users there simply don't care about whatever spez or reddit is doing - they didn't even do the 48h blackout, just complete apathy. Oh well, I'll miss it, but not enough to actually go back there, so it's all good.
