Parenting communities. The culture can be very hit or miss, but that might apply to most communities. I just want somewhere to commiserate with others without any judgment or the usual dramatic bullshit.

I miss my guilty pleasure /r/NonCredibleDefense
...still waiting for whenthe community to get the ball rolling on Lemmy
Iβm still looking for a true crime / unresolved mysteries community.
I didn't see any communities about manga, though I know there is one about anime.
Specific musician ones. At the moment there's a bunch of Jeff Rosenstock teases happening and right now is when I'd be going to that subreddit to see others discussing them. But it's gone and at the moment there's no replacement.
I also miss the specific opening weekend discussions on r/movies. I think there is a movies community somewhere but I've not seen it pop up on my "active" feed.

L4L (or, R4R). It went private on Reddit and is still dark. Probably not enough users on Lemmy for it to be viable here yet though.
Math communities for homework/excercises help.
Fighting games. I wasn't too surprised not to find communities for specific fighting games (other than Guilty Gear which I don't like) but no general community either?
A non-pornographic femboy and/or femboy discussion community (a pornographic one exists.) I'm still deciding whether I want to go back to Reddit or not and the thing that almost prompted me to go back right then and there was wanting to ask a question about fitting into women's clothes. This I think might be too niche to be useful on anything other than a big site.

prorevenge stories.
Glad that there is already !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world , but there isn't that much content yet.
But at least it exist π
I do not miss the circle jerk subs. I admit some were funny, but most were just mean-spirited and ended up becoming worse than whatever it was they set out to make fun of. For example, the books circle jerk sub was full of snobs who snarked at people in the books sub for...gasp... liking popular books.
There's just something inherently pathetic in using a platform to make fun of others on the same platform. It's like going to a dance party solely to stand on the side and make fun of the way people dance.
I hope that sort of thing doesn't catch on here. But the "asshole filter" could creep in if lemmy reaches a high user population.

I used to browse /psychedelicrock , /krautrock and /nearprog fairly often as a source for new music and I haven't found anything to replace them yet.
Itβs the off-season right now, but Iβm hoping a successor to /r/icecoast gets established by October or November. (East coast skiing and snowboarding.)

I want even more animals! Rat, rabbit, mouse, everything!

The various personal finance related subs. There are some communities with similar names, but the depth of experience is lacking.
ramimemes and okbuddychicanary are two i miss
Edit: they have been added, I'm thrilled r/lockpicking or room porn if they haven't been added.
Scribus. I still use the open source DTP at work even if I have InDesign installed.
