Any obscure community you're a part of that you wish would grow?

Besides lemmy of course

Edit: By community I didn't mean lemmy community. I meant like a fandom for an old or obscure piece of media with still some activity

!raining@sh.itjust.works - used to be fairly active but has been mostly dead for months.

(hmm, should I promote my own communities here?)
- hmm, should I promote my own communities here
  
  Feel free!
  
  I see from the edit this wasn't the intention 🙂
  
  But I'm here now, so my obscure-ish ones !lemmings@lemmings.world !plus4@retrolemmy.com and !teletext@fedia.io I'd like to see more active particularly.
- Hey that's a nice comm, thanks for the pointer. They are looking for a new moderator, i think you should take over :)
  
  Thanks, I've responded!
- Didn’t know this existed. 😁
Any gay sub, really. I miss my messy queens.
- Sub, as in subreddit? Orrrr...
  
  Errr-- yes.
There is a toolbar called the Hypothesis toolbar, it's basically a browser add-on that adds a comment section to any webpage that won't add one itself. It just needs more participants.
- That's interesting. I might try kt out
  
  Tell me when you've signed up, I'll meet up with you on there.
It’s not super obscure or anything, but I want Vocaloid to get more love. Especially non-Miku voices.
- I feel like Vocaloid got pretty popular in the early 2010s for a couple years and then everyone moved on.
  
  It might still have a small fanbase in Japan, but interest is nearly non-existant, at least here in the US.
!amiga@sopuli.xyz !zxspectrum@lemmy.world

and although not obscure, I wished the communities on feddit.uk had more going on.
Anime manga light novels. I mean come on i was expecting it to be one of the few communities that would blow up here pretty fast alongside linux , pcbulding and software developer communities.
Fountain pens!
- I had a coworker who was into them and had quite a collection. I still have some Varsitys sitting around from a joke. Not really into them myself, but notebooks marketed for use with them are really nice.
  
  Yeah those are a great introduction for anyone interested
I wish Mou Ippon was popular enough for the English scanlation to get picked up. It's a sports manga about women's judo.
- ooh I know that name, I wached that anime.
  
  If you wached it, how does it uphold the manga?
  
  I'm more of a manga fan than anime. I watched the first episode and it was very faithful to the manga.
Video game collecting over at gamecollecting@lemmy.world. I really enjoyed seeing people's finds and talking about them on Reddit, so I was very excited to have that kind of community here. Unfortunately it's not active. I would post, but I've been struggling to figure out a JavaScript error when I try to upload pictures of my hauls.
