Is there anything you’d like to talk about or share but haven’t found a place to do so? What communities (or “subreddits” for all Reddit refugees) would you like to see?

This could be a resource for anyone wanting to start a community and find out what people are looking for, and a place to request a community you just haven’t found yet.

    I really miss my local city sub. It had barely any traffic but it would keep me in touch with certain events abs news.

    Talesfromtechsupport and the other tales subreddits were always great.

    I will miss Hybrid Animals too.

    The two that I can think of are Justrolledintotheshop and Fitness. I know there are fitness communities, but I miss the Weekly rant, victory posts, and the activity. There was also a circlejerk version of it and I liked lurking there. I understand that the type of person signing up here probably aren’t into some of these things.

    I know Justrolledintotheshop didn’t participate in the blackout because it seems like a lot of the posters there didn’t care about the API stuff. They also don’t care about their personal data being harvested, and I’m sure they complain about right to repair and all of that fun stuff too.

    Anyways, I always liked the “humorous posts; educational comments” subreddit. Another example would be programmerhumor.

    I appreciate the mods for what they do, but I only feel comfortable commenting, lurking, and the occasional posting. Posting content makes me feel too connected to the internet and reminds me to touch grass more often. Hence why I wouldn’t become a mod or create those subs

    HobbyDrama. I wouldn’t have anything to contribute so I haven’t started it myself, but I really enjoyed reading the in depth writings about niche hobby blowouts.

    None really, got all my crafts here already and my other account has all kinds of gamedev communities to follow. Now that Star Trek is here and a couple of people have set up Eurovision communities, not to mention UKCasual is here, I’m pretty sorted!

    Just need more people to join in with the ones that exist, now.

          [Kinda random yapping] Hopefully some day the link stuff gets sorted >.<; Here on kbin the “local link” points at c/gamedev@lemmy.blahaj.zone, but kbin uses m/ instead of c/ so it doesn’t work. Switching to m/ is doable enough but it’ll be nice for that (and general inter-instance fussness) to be no longer necessary :-\

    I tended to use Reddit for smaller niche communities, many of which I do not see here yet. For example Eldin Ring, Ghost of Tsushima, Hot Sauce, Gifrecipes, Rings of Power, PTCGL. It will be nice when these can be created and have enough people to make it interesting but it’s not there yet.

    Niche, but I enjoyed Stereograms.

    Cosplay, anyone? Like sewing, there’s some amazing artists out there.
