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.

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.
Well, time for you to create it and hope that a new generation of lemmy users will eventually find their place.
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.
I really miss my local city sub. It had barely any traffic but it would keep me in touch with certain events abs news.
A league of legends community would be nice
Talesfromtechsupport and the other tales subreddits were always great.
I will miss Hybrid Animals too.
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 (local 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!
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
Programmer humor is alive and well on lemmy world!
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.
- learnprogramming
- gifRecipes
- softwaretesting or QualityAssurance
- tinder (profile reviews and punny responses were just simple)
- nattyorjuice
- publicfreakouts
- whatcouldgowrong
- tifu
- unexpected
- one of those local r4r
one of those local r4r
In this case it should be called l4l or k4k, depending whether they’re on Lemmy or Kbin.
I keep looking out for the lonely lemming subs but nothing yet. They probably need a particular population size (and mix) before they start working. Same for the random acts subs.
HobbyDrama. I wouldn’t have anything to contribute so I haven’t started it myself, but I really enjoyed reading the in depth writings about niche hobby blowouts.
Where is VexillologyCirclejerk? Is it safe? Is it all right?
Niche, but I enjoyed Stereograms.
Cosplay, anyone? Like sewing, there’s some amazing artists out there.
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
Oh yeah, it makes a huge difference to have some higher level discussion to follow, and TVBB is very good about not spoiling anything. I used the Tor Reread for the first four books when I first went through the series and it was a big help.
Yeah, the tor re-read’s been great, but it’s still a shitpile of information to slog through.
A lastfm community that is active
a new home for r/comics!
I’d love to see a cryptology and/or decoding community over here
