Lemmy

If you want to see a specific community that doesn't exist, then set it up and post some content! If you want the type of places to hang out that you had on Reddit, you need to create it, nurture it, and grow it. There's no guarantee that Lemmy will be the place to land during the Reddit exodus, but it is a place to land, and a damn fine one at that. Putting my money where my mouth is, if you ever want to talk about calculators head on over to !calculators@midwest.social

I'm hoping for more medical communities to pop up. So far I haven't found anything that is like r/medicine, r/residency, or any of the specialty of the research subs on reddit.

I would like to see r/simracing/

Some music subs I like to peruse like r/Headphones, HeadphoneAdvice, BudgetAudiophile, Vinyl etc. If anyone has some alts to suggest, let me know!

All the niche communities. I've been here for a couple months now but boy is that what we need.

I would love for r/synthDIY, r/AskElectronics and r/redneckengineering to move over to lemmy.

I think they would all do quite well here.

D&D/TTRPG subs like r/DMAcademy, r/3d6, r/Pathfinder2e, r/dndnext, r/dndbehindthescreen, r/dnd, r/dndmaps, etc.

Subs related to specific games I enjoy like r/Stellaris, r/Rimworld, r/crusaderkings, r/citiesskylines, r/slaythespire

Subs where design and cool information that interests me can be shared like r/vexillology, r/history, r/mapporn, r/dataisbeautiful, r/etymology, r/todayilearned, etc.

Neurodivergence spaces like r/Aspergers, r/AutisticWithADHD, and r/autism

Subs built around a certain kind of joke or humour like r/sbubby, r/expanddong, r/Polandball, r/highqualitygifs, etc.

Here are the ones I'd most like to see:

• AskScience
• AskWomenOver30
• auntienetwork
• CozyPlaces
• crowbro
• EarthPorn
• FinancialIndependence
• fitness30plus
• GenX
• greyhounds and longboyes
• Guitar, JustinGuitar, LearnGuitar, and guitarporn
• hyenas
• menopause
• oldhagfashion
• personalfinance
• PetiteFashionAdvice
• Philadelphia
• rance
• retrofuturism
• RStudio
• ShitAmericansSay
• SimpleLiving
• space
• tattoos
• TeenMomOGandTeenMom2 because I love my stupid guilty pleasure trash TV lol
• TheGirlSurvivalGuide
• xxfitness
• And every single animal subreddit

I dont know if my niche will quite fit the site yet, but I've followed a lot of animal subs ( crestedgecko, aidke, partyparrot, the twenty thousand cat subs... catsbeingcats of course a favorite ) and also a lot of botany style subs ( botany is the obvious one, houseplants, houseplantcirclejerk, savagegarden, mycology ) and then the unusual to pique interest ( unusualvideos, atbge, designdesign, barbarawalters4scale, hmmmgifs )

Special call out to /todayilearned a /awwducational for giving me fun facts to share with my co workers.

I think if there were master communities it would help appeal to a broad crowd.

Here are a bunch I'd be interested in. Can't create communities on the instance I'm on, but if anyone starts any of these I'd be happy to start participating!

• personalfinance
• getdisciplined
• watches
• watchexchange (this may be more complicated due to how new this platform is)
• plc
• scada

Just realized there are not many I'm that active in haha.

I need some more sports communities. NFL, CFB, football/soccer, NBA, MLB, Hockey, etc. A lot of the very niche ones like certain anime (r/onepiece, r/kingdom, r/hunterxhunter) or book (r/asoiaf, r/stormlight_archive) or game (r/deadbydaylight, r/stellaris, r/EU4) probably aren't going to get high enough populations to exist here so i don't expect it. But I need the sport specific ones
