For me it’s been communities like /r/buildapc, /r/buildapcforme, /r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, and /r/consoledeals have been useful throughout the years.
I’d love to see communities about:
- crafting (fibre crafts like knitting and spinning in particular)
- classical music
- photography
- Latin
- history (r/askhistorians?)
- cats
- art
- cooking
- writing
- Star Trek
- menopause
- AuDHD
- birdwatching
- gardening
- reading
A knitting and crochet community, regardless if its separated or together as a unified fiber arts community would be a godsend
Glad to report that r/menopause has moved to c/menopause@lemmy.world
local geographic area. ought to be easy to create and find users. useful too!
I want equivalents for:
- r/Fantasy
- r/tipofmytongue (iirc that name - the one for helping people find shit they’ve forgotten)
- maybe r/52books (it produces too many simple posts to just go in r/books, not sure if the same would be true here)
- r/vegetarian
Edit: r/fantasy is the biggest one for me. In effect the subreddit is really more for SciFi and Fantasy, both - and other speculative fiction - and they have a yearly speculative fiction bingo card that’s really fun to participate in. It’s mostly books in practice but is not exclusively about books.
For me, the real magic of Reddit was in hyperspecific niche communities full of hobbyist experts – or even professionals. Places like r/tolkienfans.
count me in on a tolkienfans replacement!
There was a time when /r/youtubehaiku was one of my most visited subs. It would be great to see more short weird videos that give you a little chuckle.
/r/curvy . I mean, uh, /r/gardening. Yeah that one…
Off the top of my head communities like
r/3rprinting r/instantpot r/todayilearned r/therewasanattempt r/space r/changemyview r/unpopularopinion
Videos/mealtimevideos was a big thing for me. They kept me entertained while I ate lunch, lol.
I miss r/actuallesbians, r/MTF, and some obscure gaming communties like r/titanfall, r/Metroid and r/Earthbound.
Oh and the brainrot known as r/okbuddychicanery and r/anarchychess.
I’d really like to see a photography community pop up. Not necessarily a /fujifilm /leica community, but a general photography place for folks to share their snaps, and get advice about techniques and gear.
Hmmm …

I’m missing a lot of more specialised things, but these are pretty broad I think
I saw it sort of mentioned, but I think niche shitposting communities like the various okbuddy subs.

For me it’s all the photography-related communities. Photography, Cinematography, Analog, & Astrophotography are the primary ones.
