Just a working list - feel free to add to it. I realize that some of these might already exist, and I just missed them. Here’s what I’ve got so far:

  • Book suggestions
  • Obscure Media
  • New England
  • Massachusetts
  • separate communities for every other state too
  • Mildly interesting
  • Antiwork
  • Anti-Amazon
  • buy it for life

    hooray my first federated platform comment, spent over a decade on Reddit and happy something else looks to be growing big enough to be a viable alternative.

    I tend to love long form text based subs. Ones I particularly enjoy where I can’t currently scratch their respective itch anywhere else on the Internet:

    /r/changemyview /r/bestofredditorupdates /r/legaladvice (mainly for the (/r/bestoflegaladvice goodies) /r/bestof /r/maliciouscompliance /r/prorevenge /r/amitheasshole and all of the /r/talesfrom[profession] subs

    yeah I know half of these are often glorified fiction writing subs but I enjoy the stories regardless

    • Motorcycles
    • Leica
    • AMD
    • Bad_Cop_No_Donut
    • ConcealedCarry
    • CZFirearms/Guns
    • PublicFreakout
    • CrazyFuckingVideos
    • WatchPeopleDie (yeah, I know, it’s morbid. But having a NSFL Instance with communities for banned sub content would be great for lurking)

      When I click these links it breaks my Lemmy app and doesn’t take me to the destination. Do you have any advice, or maybe an ideal app I should be using?

        If you’re using jerboa then I’d recommend just going to a web browser and following the links their. Linking throughout the fediverse isn’t quite optimal yet. I did hear there was a change proposed to the UI to fix that at least on the web, jerboa would need an update after that I imagine.

    DcComics and the marvel subreddit would be my biggest likes to see. I just don’t have the knowledge to do it myself otherwise I would.

    At first I read “would not like to see replicated” and I almost got upset, haha.

    For me:

    • Fountain pens
    • Communities for different countries/regions or different language-speakers - on Reddit, I often lurked /r/de, /r/Philippines, etc.
    • Mechanical keyboards
    • Woodworking
    • Oddly satisfying
    • Star Trek
    • Battlestations

    I definitely second BIFL, Antiwork, and different communities for U.S. states, as I don’t often get to connect with other people from Texas on the Fediverse.

    All the spanish speaking subs. I hope that this will be better place to build our corner. Also r/mylittlepony.

      Agreed on r/mylittlepony. I’ve got a couple of my niche subs that I really enjoyed and idk where they’re gonna end up going. I’m pretty sure r/furry is on here somewhere, but still trying to figure things out The others though, r/GODZILLA and r/miata (and other car subs) I’d like to go back to. They were my little areas I felt comfortable posting to (and had content for)

    I was going to say buildapcsales, but it appears that someone created it in the last 24 hours.

    Some of the ones I’ll be looking for replacements for:

    • 3d6, or equivalent discussion of DND/RPG builds and mechanics.

    • something like AskHistorians, which I know will be hard to replace considering the verification and moderation around it.

    • local city subreddits, I really liked having one for my home town or places I might visit.

    • honestly, I could see Chat taking the place of something like AskReddit.

    I want to know what do you guys think of national/local subreddits? I found it pretty interesting to see the different national subs on Reddit like the German one or the swedish one or the french one, I found that my own nation’s sub would sometimes give me information about something before it hit the local news.

      We already have some regional instances with the various feddits, so I guess we’re covering that niche from that angle. Granted, I don’t know of any city-level communities, but lemmy as a whole would need to be bigger for such communities to be really viable.
