Videos/mealtimevideos was a big thing for me. They kept me entertained while I ate lunch, lol.

Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Hmmm ...

I'm missing a lot of more specialised things, but these are pretty broad I think
Off the top of my head communities like
r/3rprinting r/instantpot r/todayilearned r/therewasanattempt r/space r/changemyview r/unpopularopinion
/r/curvy . I mean, uh, /r/gardening. Yeah that one..
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
Knitting or a unified fiberarts would be fantastic.
local geographic area. ought to be easy to create and find users. useful too!
Any and all of the sports subreddits. Nothing brings more user engagement (positive and negative) than game threads for sporting events. The sooner we can get a thriving sports community going, the faster Lemmy or any social media app will grow.
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.
Disability and anything cat themed
Something pet related seems pretty apt. Surely it already exists but I haven't seen anything yet haha Edit: it does exist
What’s it’s called?
Animals and pets
r/Aquariums, r/PlantedTanks, r/Aquascape !
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.
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 saw it sort of mentioned, but I think niche shitposting communities like the various okbuddy subs.

/r/guitar, for those of use who struggle (and suck) at self-learning this amazing instrument.
I'd like to see a book suggestion community with a decent number of requests. Something like r/booksuggestions or r/suggestmeabook. Most of what I did on Reddit was recommend books in response to requests.
I wouldn't mind seeing a New England community, either. Or Massachusetts one. I'd start one up, but I don't know if I could handle the moderation responsibilities!
I would love to see something like r/AskHistorians. It's my favorite sub by far, and something I have really seen anywhere else. It's heavily moderated (in a good way), and the answers are all high quality and sourced. It's pretty much why I held on to my reddit account as long as I have.
"Indie Products"- a place for people to nerd out about stuff made by small independent makers and for indie makers to find support maybe? I'm not a maker myself but I really enjoy buying from small businesses and finding out about cool products.
I am a Dark Souls addict and when I quit Reddit for good on July 1st, those are the subs I'll really miss most. I'm also a history teacher and adjunct and really will suffer without /r/AskHistorians.
Oh, r/askhistorians is precious.
Maybe a History community on here would be nice, at least, until there are enough folks for more specific spots.
The thing is that askhistorians is, uniquely among subreddits, both staffed by professionals in the field and heavily moderated. It is an investment by credentialed, dedicated professionals, and would not work otherwise. I think something like that would be highly attractive, but I caution anyone against trying to resurrect it without access to those credentialed, dedicated professionals. Otherwise it becomes shittyaskhistorians but unironically; at worst it would be ancient aliens.
I glanced briefly, but couldn't find a topic on it. What's the stance on NSFW (i.e. porn, art, etc.)?
Most instances (servers) don't allow porn because it needs constant content moderation (laws against CP and other nasty stuff). They simply don't want the liability. But it's not forbidden to create a server that allows/hosts pornographic stuff. I bet we will see some porn servers in the near future.
Something social, and positive. Like r/roastme had a opposite one called r/toastme. Rather then burn and roast OP, you gave them compliments. It was a positive thing to see.
Oh yes please. Cheering people on, giving them a new lens in which to view themselves, or just a moment of attention all for themselves, brings me joy. Good suggestion. What would it take to make it?

Eldritch horror Garfield is essential to any online community.
You're joking but currently a discord I'm in has a cult over a specific Garfield Minus Garfield comic, a cult that got genuinely rowdy when the comic stopped being posted.
All I'm saying, Garfield is probably an elder god
I'm probably only half joking. I love when people just do weird shit for the hell of it, it reminds me of the early internet. People doodling horrific Garfield content is weirdly wholesome and just makes me happy.
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!
hmmm…. for politics I would say r/neoliberal and r/socialdemocracy
other than that r/anime r/animesuggest r/demonslayer r/19684 r/towerofgod r/lotrmemes r/historymemes and r/mrfruit
/r/neoliberal replacement +1. We definitely need a community about a movie about worms.
Looks like no one's mentioned it... I'd like a British community. Maybe for discussing news in our corner of the world, maybe just for casual talk like /r/CasualUK.
!ukcasual@lemmy.world is awaiting your arrival!
Game related communities (/r/tf2, /r/chess to name a few!)
Edit: Just realised I want some tech-related stuff like /r/homelab, /r/selfhosted, /r/privacy, /r/homeserver and more too
gotta have one for ~~my crack addiction~~ Destiny
For me it's all the photography-related communities. Photography, Cinematography, Analog, & Astrophotography are the primary ones.
