For example, I used to follow a lot of subreddits for individual YouTube content creators, however, Lemmy doesn’t really have the size or culture to support this currently.

    Ancient coins. There’s a sub on Lemmy but it’s sadly unpopulated. I miss being able to interface a bit with other collectors, but fuck my ass if I have to go back to Reddit for that.

      I digged down in what coins (they overlapped usually IIRC) had the highest probability of have being manipulated by jesus or the supposed apostles. Wasn’t that expensive if my memory is right to get a bunch with a high probability.

    Software Defined Radio, Ham Radio, RF Electronics, amateur satellites and Meshtastic.

    The only community I am (more than) fully satisfied with here is Linux.

    Oh, but also communities like askdentists, psoriasis, etc. Those were pretty helpful on Reddit.

    Not exactly niche but I’d like to see some active gardening and diy communities. The existing ones aren’t very active.

    The only reason I check Reddit with any regularity anymore is for content local to where I live. There’s a few communities on the fediverse for my area, but with only minimal, sporadic activity.

    I would love to see more activity around fostering animals, particularly cats. I started !fosteranimals and have participated over at !fosterkittens, but it seems there’s not many of us so far.

    Edit: No clue why I can only get 1 of the 2 links to work correctly, but FosterAnimals is on kbin.social, and FosterKittens is on lemmy.world.

    Men’s rights, but not like the piss pitt that the Reddit one has, but one that focuses on real men’s issues, like how rampant prison rape is in male prisons, parental alienation, forced military service and such.

    And before anyone says that “It is men who mostly commit prison rape”, well duh, that is obvious, but prison should be a rehabilitation tool, not a punitive one, and especially not a for-profit business like it currently is.

    And add the fact that prisoners should be under the care of the government, and the fact that so much abuse, sexual and otherwise is ignored and not prevented is nothing but appalling.

        That is a way better idea, as long as there is no bashing on fence issues such as circumcision and the pink tax(And I don’t mean pink tax in the sense of feminine razors being more expensive while being functionality the same as men’s razors, I mean the absurd markup on feminine hygiene products, and in some places tampons being taxed as luxury items).

    Beginners/basic programming for non-IT. There’s a lot of people that might want to do very simple things with arduino or other mini computers. Python, or even simple Linux tasks, that don’t want to start a whole “Programming lessons A-z” multi-stage class-format learning adventure.

      Hmm… I bet the owners of r/roguelikedev could be convinced to run a Lemmy community, seems their style. I think they can be reached via discord. I might look into that, they were a good group, and helpful.

    More artsy stuff and more comics, I’ve only seen Loading Artist over here - if he’s the real one.

    JRPGs. I live them, but all communities over here are mostly dead - only posting the occasional trailer.

    Those were the only subreddits I actually used to frequent, now that I think about it.

    I wish there was somewhere to talk about Counter-Strike, particularly the e-sports scene.

      Ironically, I want somewhere to talk about Counter-Strike excluding the e-sports scene. There is nowhere to learn smokes, share maps, or even find a team.
