Personally i’m looking forward to seeing twobestfriendsplay, arkhamasylum, whowouldwin, and respectthreads, on here.

    A lot of these aren’t exactly “niche”, but afaik none of them exist on lemmy yet

    Edit: for some reason, a bunch of these that actually do exist weren’t showing up in search unless I specifically searched for “!community@instance”. I’ve gone back through and added links to them here.

    r/liveaudio r/mixingandmastering r/bitwig r/ableton r/ethereum

    all of the Linux subreddits I browse + r/selfhosted, r/homelab, r/datahoarder.

    all of these seem like easy fits for the fediverse.

    This seems way too unlikely to happen, but r/askhistorians. It’s an exceptionally well moderated (if a bit overzealous) community that allows for both the average person to ask seemingly impossible, very specific questions as well as academics to express their knowledge and passion for those very same super specific topics they find fascinating; but have difficulty finding an audience to listen to them in their day to day lives.

      I’m really hoping for some quality archaeology/anthropology/history content as well, I started !humans@terefere.eu for a kind of catch-all community (and yes, that’s the best name I could come up with)

    Oh shit, am I a niche communities redditor already feeling anxious about losing all my anonymous internet peeps.

    r/vxjunkies - Although that sub is most fun when randos stumble onto it and get confused. Which might not work as well in Federation world.

    r/worldbuilding, r/loremasters

    r/TolkeinFans. Discussing the legendarium on a scholarly level.

    r/nsfwworldbuilding (which is a great place for thoughtful, mature, intellectual conversations about really creative ideas like quantum pregnancy and all male Orc societies … and THEN pictures of nude bee women leaking honey from their boobs).

    r/magicthecirclejerking, r/linuxcirclejerk, r/whowouldcirclejerk - these subs are my go to “I need to laugh” subs.

    r/AskHistorians. What can replace this awesomeness… like ever?

    r/ShermanPosting. Make this angry leftist feel like a burning patriot.

    r/LateStageCapitalism. I need my angry leftist anticap memes.

    r/StableDiffusion

    r/Swahili? It’s a beautiful language.

    r/ImaginaryDerelicts… Here is a hauntingly beautiful rabbit hole for you to fall down.

    r/PrintSF… it’s literally how I find new books to rea…listen to. I consume audiobooks at a terrifying rate.

    r/Podcasts because see above.

    r/Qubes. I like my linux like I like my lovers, paranoid and with DID.

    r/HomeNetworking

    r/AskNetSec and r/OpSec

    r/FifthWorldProblems and it’s multiverse of affiliates, including r/MadMudMen and r/EnglightenedBirdMen

    r/Daddit. I posted my “Here we are at a playground for the first time” pictures 12 years ago… I was looking forward to reposting those alongside the graduation pictures in 4 years.

    r/WitchesVsPatriarchy. Yes, I’m a cishet white man, fuck the patriarchy and fuck toxic masculinity.

    r/ChaoticGood. This sub makes me happy.

    Is there seriously no r/WhoWoulWin equivalent? That boggles me.

    We also REALLY need something like r/findareddit, if there isn’t such a thing yet.

    r/buttcoin, every time I feel bad about myself I like reading about crypto fails to remind myself that I could have made even worse decisions.
    r/noncredibledefense, makes the horror of the war not far from me a bit more bearable

    Actually a few, but to list some

    r/PublicDomain

    r/MirrorsEdgeAesthetics

    r/MovieSuggestions

    r/LostMedia

    rMediumReadings

    r/RockinTheClassics

    r/REgames

    r/CarHacking could also be good

    Maybe~~ r/iwatchedanoldmovie ~~ Some game specifics sub’s like r/MetalGearSolid, r/MetalSlug and r/HalfLife, r/moddergearsolid is a particularly obscure one.

    Most of the console modding subs like r/360hacks, r/WiiUHacks which is going dark, r/PS3Homebrew and so on.

    From my own feed that’s about it, with the exception of some piracy ones like rCemuPiracy r/LinuxCrackSupport and r/SteamDeckPirates, among others. And a couple in particular that push a bit closer to the work unsafe side, so those wouldn’t be here.
