What is a sub/community that you wish existed actively on Lemmy?
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!
Actually active formuladank community
I really should visit !formuladank@lemmy.world more actively, most of the time the posts in there dont even show up on my feeds I think
Oh, man, if we could find someone on lemmy with the time, energy, and mad skills to do the same kind of race recaps that u/Alphamaxnova1 used to do I would be so happy.
We don't have enough Linux discussion
Did you forget the /s?
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.
SpeedofLobster! A good lobster always cracked me 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.
That seems like a really important community to have here
!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.
Writing Promts was cool
and the camouflage community (I may be very biased lol)
Writing Prompts was cool
Well, you're in luck!
!writingprompts@literature.cafe
They just started reopening the community, so hopefully more people will participate.
Awesome thank you!
The one on .world just shifted to literature.cafe.
The .world one was set up by an occasional contributor to the subreddit.
A community for the car I own, no matter what it is. (With thousands of active members, of course.)
A general simracing community that's not hosted on .ml
I saw this show up pretty recently, so no content as of now. https://lemmy.zip/c/SimRacing
Yep. Already subscribed. There's two posts already, should be federated through lemmy-federate.com now.
I want lostmedia and unsolvermysteries communities to exist and be more active.
Ah I'd love for unresolvedmysteries to exist in an active form!
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.
There's !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world, but it's been dead for a while. I kinda miss reading those stories about assholes getting what they asked for.
Another that was fun reading occasionally was scambait, where people would fuck with scammers to waste as much of their time as possible. I don't know if there's anything like that on Lemmy.
Reddit had a few really good and active lifting communities. There were interesting program reviews, sometimes everyone would run super squats together and report on the various effects of drinking a gallon of whole milk per day on the digestive tract. And I could help others join in and start lifting themselves into their best selves, since not many people in my real life circle are interested
You could try creating a lifting community on Lemmy, no? Who knows, maybe it would pick up?
Maybe at !fitness@lemmy.world ? I see there is some activity in there
Yeah this - this would be really great.
Talesfromyourserver!
!talesfromyourserver@lemm.ee exists and would need someone to start oosting content there I guess
What did it used to be
R/raisedbynarcissists for sure.
Posts like that are welcome at !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al we're a women's only community for all things women. I'm making it a supportive and inclusive community
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. 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
Oh wow, don't know how I didn't find that. Thanks!
I would love some more active Magic The Gathering communities as well. I was pretty disappointed seeing how quiet they are.
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'd never heard of this and like it... thanks for sharing!
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.
I really miss bpt sometimes. Can't stand to be on actual twitter, but reddit wasn't so awful a medium to discuss highlights when I was still on the platform.
Parent/Trying for pregnancy/pregnancy.
I found the pregnancy conversations on Reddit (while I was on Reddit is fun) to be much less toxic than on those discussion forums on pregnancy apps.
modernquilts / modernquilting, I used to look in that R and ppl shared progress pictures and finished modern quilts. Was a great source of inspiration. #modernquilts on fedi/pixelfed is quite empty unfortunately
We'd love to see your quilt at !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al we're trying to fill the female void on lemmy.
will check it out, thanks!
I grew and modded the K League (Korean football) sub previously, and I've wondered about starting one Lemmy. I would like one to be here so that I can can keep up with what's happening easily, but I also kinda like not having a feeling of responsibility to post stuff regularly.
If I did start one, does anyone know if there's any technical problems with creating and modding a comm on an instance different from your home instance?
Last I heard there's still some problems with it and I'm guessing they won't be resolved soon, like how does moderation work if the reportee is on an instance that's defederated with yours but not the community instance?
Your options are either to create an alt to mod (or just move to the other instance) or to start the community on your home instance.
You could maybe start by posting stuff about korean football into a more general community, like !football@lemm.ee
Yeah, I know there's the football one, and I used to post a bit on the .world one, but it's a niche topic even within football, so I know I won't get much interaction from it.
You can only start communities on your home instance as far as I'm aware. However, you can mod remote communities. It just requires some hoops to go through. What you need to do is create an alt on your desired instance, create the community there, then make your main account a mod on it.
unfortunately the things I would most like are things I don't currently participate in that I greedly would love to be in the loop about. so pathfinder, star trek online, and champions online.
There is a whole instance for star trek!
Startrek.website. I don't think they have a community for the game though. Maybe ask one of their mods to create it? /u/valuesubtracted@startrek.website.
Edit: how does one tag a user?
im aware. star trek online is an mmo.
To tag a user: @user@instance.tld
Some clients will start searching for users as soon as they you type the @ sign, at least Voyager does on iOS.
Drones
Codes (about ciphers)
Regarfing drones, both !drones@lemmy.world and !fpv@lemmy.ml seem to be somewhat active
Regarding codes/cyphers, I wonder whether something like that exists and simply has an unintuitive community name.. because that topic definitely fits fedi well
I feel like those topics should be prime for lemmy. Most people on Lemmy seem to be quite technical and well educated/smart. Programming.Dev would be a good home for those topics, no?
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
There appears to be nothing here yet that can rival https://old.reddit.com/r/advice.
It exists, but there is almost nobody writing. I also haven't seen any other writing communities. I'm not interested in writing, usually, but I always enjoy reading what others have wrote.
HFY is basically the only reason I get on Reddit nowadays.
Dad for a minute and internet parents! They were my favourite

Sometimes I struggle with writing prompts for AI and I don't understand why it is not doing what I want. I wish there was a active community for helping with that.
For example I wanted it to go through this post https://piefed.jeena.net/post/125521 and list all the movies mentioned and augment them with the release date, director and genre. But it already fails at just finding the movies mentioned. I thought this is a perfect thing to do for AI which I can do easily manually but it just takes time, but nope.
There is !gai@sopuli.xyz
Yeah that is a perfect use for AI. Here’s what I came up with:
Using this list of classic movies, can you create a table which also includes each movie’s release date, director and genre? (Insert list of movies)
Here is a table that includes each movie's release date, director, and genre:
| Movie Title | Release Date | Director | Genre |
|---|---|---|---|
| M | 1931 | Fritz Lang | Thriller, Crime, Mystery |
| Gone with the Wind | 1939 | Victor Fleming, George Cukor, Sam Wood | Drama, Romance, War |
| The Godfather | 1972 | Francis Ford Coppola | Crime, Drama |
| Taxi Driver | 1976 | Martin Scorsese | Crime, Drama, Thriller |
| Murder on the Orient Express | 1974 | Sidney Lumet | Crime, Drama, Mystery |
| One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest | 1975 | Milos Forman | Drama |
| Rear Window | 1954 | Alfred Hitchcock | Mystery, Thriller, Crime |
| Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb | 1964 | Stanley Kubrick | Comedy, War, Satire |
| Chinatown | 1974 | Roman Polanski | Mystery, Thriller, Drama |
| Le Grande Bouffe | 1973 | Marco Ferreri | Comedy, Drama |
| L'Avventura | 1960 | Michelangelo Antonioni | Drama, Mystery, Romance |
| Tengoku to jigoku (High and Low) | 1963 | Akira Kurosawa | Crime, Drama, Thriller |
This table lists the movie titles alongside their release dates, directors, and genres. Let me know if you'd like more details or adjustments!
See, yours didn't list all the movies either, just the ones from the post but not the comments. I tried to copy and paste the whole conversation but that also didn't really work. One time I thought it did it because it came up with over 100 movies but then when I checked it just invented movies instead of listing the ones which were in the conversation.
I'm very new so I haven't explored much yet, but I wish there were more subcomminities of the communities, like for example on Reddit there's subreddits for metal, but also subreddits for specific artists within that.
Or how there's all the gaming communities but not many sub communities for specific games outside of maybe some of the larger games/game series.
I guess just more niche or deeper within a specific topic communities I'd say. But there may just not be enough people to go super specific with communities yet. Or I haven't found them yet.
You can have a look at !communitypromo@lemmy.ca
I never actually participated in discussions on there, but r/soccer is still my go-to source for keeping up to date with football news. That's probably the one I feel the most.
!football@lemm.ee seems to be the currently active football/soccer community on lemmy. Additionally there are club-specific communities hosted on fanaticus.social
I was on r/soccer a lot as well, and considering its size I don't know why the football communities are relatively small. Also, the .world one is effectively locked for some reason.
The main community was moved from .world to !football@lemm.ee in an effort to decentralise and spread communities out instead of consolidating on .world. It's somewhat active as smaller communities go on Lemmy, but nothing like the news hub you could use r/soccer for.
Comic_Crits and ctpsd creatives. Somewhere to post personal comic art to share and receive feedback.
I miss national and regional meme communities such as 2visegrad4u. Cultural and historical context makes the memes flow much better.
Without a doubt, it's Queens of League. It's an unhinged, thirsty gay mob shitposting about League of Legends.
I would've thought GURPS would be more represented in the Lemmy demographics.
hobbydrama!
Books suggestions or suggest me a book were cool. Anything regarding reading (I found horror lit here) or books :)
I miss my cheap knockoff watch sub r/ChinaTime
chess, linguistics, my country, my profession. Last two aren't even worth clarifying
Communities for news, papers, and general conversation around humanities and social sciences. Communities for underground music (e.g., goth music).
For music related places I will post here as I find them:
https://lemmy.world/c/gothindustrial https://lemmy.world/c/alternativenation https://lemm.ee/c/ObscureMusic https://lemmy.ml/c/indieheads https://sh.itjust.works/c/synthpop
Mander.xyz has quite a few communities on sciences, like !science@mander.xyz or !archaeology@mander.xyz or other more focused ones.
Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game
Off the top of my head:
Learning Polish
True Crime
Cat Pictures
Wildlife Pictures
Jaguars the big cats, not the car lol
Admiral Cloudberg
Relationship questions
I'd love if the Dead by Daylight community was more active here
How about Books That Feel Like This ? I always found good book recs there.
Bionicle.
The Bionicle subreddit is very active, but there is no active alternative on Lemmy.
You can try posting about it on !lego@lemm.ee
A nudist/naturist sub would be really nice, been missing out on events lately so at least chatting about it would help shake the feeling of isolation.
Also, a space for plural systems would be super appreciated. We wouldn't really know what to say in it but it's really cool meeting other systems and learning about them.
Finn (fae/she)
What are plural systems?
https://morethanone.info/ is a great resource for learning about systems, in short it's where multiple entities (or alters) with their own unique personalities share the body and mind (a headspace.)
Cass (xe/xem)
Eurovision!
More women-oriented communities would be great. Skincare, makeup, women's fitness, female health, nail polish, aging. I'd love that.
Yes! Or fiber/needle arts! Im struggling to quit reddit because theres like 6 crochet posts over here T_T
Will put things here as I find them:
https://sh.itjust.works/c/lemmy_stitch https://lemmy.world/c/sewing https://sh.itjust.works/c/sewing https://sh.itjust.works/c/sewingrepairing https://lemmy.ca/c/crochet https://lemmy.world/c/knitting
Yes! The number of great patterns I've gotten off of r/knitting has been invaluable to my learning.
Hi mate! We'd love to see your crochet stuff at !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al we're for all things women related
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
!skincareaddiction@sh.itjust.works
A nail one would be great. Maybe we can make one.
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
And I've just posted in there a very important nail polish question! ;)
If I started a women one that covered all of that, would you help me promote it?
Sure!
