What is a sub/community that you wish existed (actively) on Lemmy?
Maybe there are others like you and we can actually get it running, or maybe to already exists but you just don’t know!
More women-oriented communities would be great. Skincare, makeup, women’s fitness, female health, nail polish, aging. I’d love that.
If I started a women one that covered all of that, would you help me promote it?
Sure!
Great it’s !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al just in the process of building it
Awesome, thanks! :)
Np post away! If nothing else I’ll chat with you haha
Yes! Or fiber/needle arts! Im struggling to quit reddit because theres like 6 crochet posts over here T_T
Oh my gosh thank you <3 now i need to do my part and help with engagement haha
Yes! The number of great patterns I’ve gotten off of r/knitting has been invaluable to my learning.
Agree! I’d love to see more discussion around female health, not necessarily constructive but just bants about the ‘gross’ stuff, memes and complaints and stuff. The issue is that I’m a comment contributor more than a poster, as much as I try. So as much as I’d like to Be The Change, it really has to come from a lot of us posting and interacting.
Today CheeseToastie created a new community for women’s interests. I’ve agreed to share it around so if you’re interested, come join us at !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al
A nail one would be great. Maybe we can make one.

And I’ve just posted in there a very important nail polish question! ;)
Books suggestions or suggest me a book were cool. Anything regarding reading (I found horror lit here) or books :)
Communities for identifying random stuff! Rocks, plants, bugs, fossils, that weird thingy in your grandma’s kitchen… I love lurking on them because I learn to notice more in my day-to-day life. The downside is that they need more active moderation to weed out wrong or unhelpful comments.
And on a related note, communities for admiring natural stuff, à la mineralporn.
AskHistorians
It exists but 100% not in the same form
Link it!
But not run by the people from the og reddit, so its quality I dont know
It’s quality on Reddit was from heavy moderation. It’s not that at all.
but the pool of commenters that are historians might decrease over time because of karma requirements
when lemmy started they said they couldn’t come here because they feared associating with MLs would compromise their unbiased ideal. I wonder how that’s working out for them
That really was the best of reddit.

hobbydrama!
Psychonaut, DPH, heavymind, weirddalle, mspaint. All were once hidden gems of Reddit
Between you and the person who wants jam band content, yes, slowly but surely my people are coming.
DPH? Like ppl abusing benadryl?
Yeah, absolutely crazy sub
Its fucked up
/r/liberalgunowners was a favorite. Everyone was so nice and accepting. We’d answer the same noob questions all day, no problem. None of “MuH 2A!” crap, nobody bloodthirsty. Anyway, I could go on, but it was nice while it lasted.
!liberalgunowners@lemmy.world It’s still fairly new but a post on there also links to related lemmy communities
Been more posts than I thought! I never see them for some reason.
That seems like a really important community to have here
Model railroading. Even on Reddit those subs weren’t super active, but they at least existed.
Magic the Gathering. There’s actually 3 here already, but somehow none of them really scratch the itch to just talk about deckbuilding. And again, the 3 that are here are fairly quiet. Just doesn’t seem to be the critical mass needed.
DankChristianMemes. Was just fantastic. Perhaps the best ‘neutral’ ground I ever saw for Christians & Atheists to laugh at themselves & each other.

!dankchristianmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone
It’s a bit quiet though
I would love some more active Magic The Gathering communities as well. I was pretty disappointed seeing how quiet they are.
All of the individual games I play and not just the general “gaming” subs. Plenty of video game enthusiasts on Lemmy; not enough to geek out over specific games. Or at least… Not the ones I play.
I also think it will be a long time before those can get up and running. There is much disdain towards video game companies on lemmy, and there is much right for it to exist. It does however make any community outside of the retrogaming hard to grow without the arguing.
This is a great reason to grow those places here, though. My biggest issue with game specific communities is the fact that the game companies try to control them. Most subreddits are moderated by the game companies, and official discords are a lost cause. We really need a neutral, public place to be to talk about games where we are allowed to actually be critical of them
What games do you play?
Same. I miss r/OldWorldBlues and other strategy game communities. Most likely there aren’t enough people who are interested in that mod, so maybe I’ll bug the Fallout comm for that lol.
We don’t have enough Linux discussion
Did you forget the /s?
Jambands/Grateful Dead type stuff.
Yes I know there are groups out there, but no one is extremely active. I’ll give it time: Weir Everywhere
It’s not dedicated to it, but I’m certain many of your favourite tracks would be welcome over at !psychedelicmusic@lemmy.world
Please.
I am begging you.
I know only psych-rock and I want so much more
A community for the car I own, no matter what it is. (With thousands of active members, of course.)
Maybe not. Lemmy is very anti-car, it wouldn’t take off here and would get massively downvoted.
I’m aware of that; doesn’t mean that I can’t still wish for it
I’m very new here. Why is lemmy anti car?
Because climate change
This but also for a lot of people the impact the car has on communities, suburbanisation, defunding public transportation etc. is a big factor in wanting to see change.
No what I mean is specific communities for specific cars. A community for 350Z owners. A community for S2000 owners, a community for Toyota 4Runner owners, etc.
People there post about their specific cars and get some answers. No need for separate communities until the activity grows
The small niche communities are the ones I’ll probably never see again, like /r/reverseanimalrescue /r/TheNightFeeling /r/darknetplan
There’s !thenightfeeling@lemmy.world !
Ahh thank you! I loved this over on reddit.
I wouldn’t mind some of the Random Acts to come over and be more active. Even though I never used it, I always thought the idea of the Random Acts of Pizza was a grand idea for those who are in need.
Random acts of cards was my #1 fav sub but I’m unable to participate now (long story see my post in the byereddit community)
Random kindess was cool too.
How about Books That Feel Like This ? I always found good book recs there.
