Asklemmy

Waiting on r/linuxmasterrace tbh

A lot of these aren't exactly "niche", but afaik none of them exist on lemmy yet

Edit: for some reason, a bunch of these that actually do exist weren't showing up in search unless I specifically searched for "!community@instance". I've gone back through and added links to them here.

r/woodworking would be nice.

Oh boy , it will be fun when 2westerneuropean4you gets here

Big anime titties, medium anime titties, banned in Australia anime titties, and monster girls.

r/outside. That place is such a needed mental break.

r/liveaudio r/mixingandmastering r/bitwig r/ableton r/ethereum

all of the Linux subreddits I browse + r/selfhosted, r/homelab, r/datahoarder.

all of these seem like easy fits for the fediverse.

r/piracy

r/electronics

r/rce

r/diy

r/diyaudio

r/diwhy

r/edm

r/edmproduction

r/angryupvote

r/masterhacker

r/mathmemes

r/sciencememes

r/physicsmemes

r/chemsitrymemes

r/bilogymemes

r/onejob

r/outoftheloop

r/printers

r/redneckengineering

r/torrents

r/tvtoohigh

r/winehq

r/youtubedl

r/weird

Oh shit, am I a niche communities redditor already feeling anxious about losing all my anonymous internet peeps.

r/vxjunkies - Although that sub is most fun when randos stumble onto it and get confused. Which might not work as well in Federation world.

r/worldbuilding, r/loremasters

r/TolkeinFans. Discussing the legendarium on a scholarly level.

r/nsfwworldbuilding (which is a great place for thoughtful, mature, intellectual conversations about really creative ideas like quantum pregnancy and all male Orc societies ... and THEN pictures of nude bee women leaking honey from their boobs).

r/magicthecirclejerking, r/linuxcirclejerk, r/whowouldcirclejerk - these subs are my go to "I need to laugh" subs.

r/AskHistorians. What can replace this awesomeness... like ever?

r/ShermanPosting. Make this angry leftist feel like a burning patriot.

r/LateStageCapitalism. I need my angry leftist anticap memes.

r/StableDiffusion

r/Swahili? It's a beautiful language.

r/ImaginaryDerelicts... Here is a hauntingly beautiful rabbit hole for you to fall down.

r/PrintSF... it's literally how I find new books to rea...listen to. I consume audiobooks at a terrifying rate.

r/Podcasts because see above.

r/Qubes. I like my linux like I like my lovers, paranoid and with DID.

r/HomeNetworking

r/AskNetSec and r/OpSec

r/FifthWorldProblems and it's multiverse of affiliates, including r/MadMudMen and r/EnglightenedBirdMen

r/Daddit. I posted my "Here we are at a playground for the first time" pictures 12 years ago... I was looking forward to reposting those alongside the graduation pictures in 4 years.

r/WitchesVsPatriarchy. Yes, I'm a cishet white man, fuck the patriarchy and fuck toxic masculinity.

r/ChaoticGood. This sub makes me happy.

Is there seriously no r/WhoWoulWin equivalent? That boggles me.

We also REALLY need something like r/findareddit, if there isn't such a thing yet.

some of the more or less interesting ones i came across...

r/InternetIsBeautiful r/AlpineLinux r/CoOpGaming r/antiXLinux r/devuan r/gamedeals r/privacyhardware r/opensourcegames r/FreeGaming r/fossdroid r/linux4noobs r/commandline r/channelsofyoutube r/DeepIntoYouTube r/ChannelWatch r/EatCheapAndHealthy r/Foodforthought r/initFreedom r/irc r/KeepOurNetFree r/linux_devices r/suckless r/techsupport r/unknownvideos r/usenet r/youtubeclassics r/suggestmeabook r/thinkpad r/DistroTube r/odysee r/lbry r/peertube r/FOSSPhotography r/DepthHub r/TrueFilm r/socialscience r/AskSocialScience r/UpliftingNews r/LinuxPhones r/startpages r/terminal_porn r/nodrm r/Antifeatures r/FreeAudio r/listentothis (separated by genre)

Non ironically, r/fossdroid would easily find a way into the fediverse

This seems way too unlikely to happen, but r/askhistorians. It's an exceptionally well moderated (if a bit overzealous) community that allows for both the average person to ask seemingly impossible, very specific questions as well as academics to express their knowledge and passion for those very same super specific topics they find fascinating; but have difficulty finding an audience to listen to them in their day to day lives.

Actually a few, but to list some

~~r/PublicDomain~~

r/MirrorsEdgeAesthetics

~~r/MovieSuggestions~~

~~r/LostMedia~~

~~rMediumReadings~~

~~r/RockinTheClassics~~

~~r/REgames ~~

r/CarHacking could also be good

Maybe~~ r/iwatchedanoldmovie ~~ Some game specifics sub's like r/MetalGearSolid, r/MetalSlug and r/HalfLife, r/moddergearsolid is a particularly obscure one.

Most of the console modding subs like r/360hacks, r/WiiUHacks which is going dark, r/PS3Homebrew and so on.

From my own feed that's about it, with the exception of some piracy ones like rCemuPiracy r/LinuxCrackSupport and r/SteamDeckPirates, among others. And a couple in particular that push a bit closer to the work unsafe side, so those wouldn't be here.

r/buttcoin, every time I feel bad about myself I like reading about crypto fails to remind myself that I could have made even worse decisions.
r/noncredibledefense, makes the horror of the war not far from me a bit more bearable

• selfhosted

r/AmITheAsshole and r/BestofRedditorUpdates. I love the drama.

A couple of my hobbies that I've seen barely getting started here... photography and mycology. There's a lot to explore in both without getting wrapped up in religion or politics.

Cats! Where are the cats?

not a niche but i find lack of foodie and cooking communities on lemmy disturbing, also pcmr (isn't it too elitist for lemmy?), /r/sffpc, /r/mffpc

r/degoogle r/linuxmasterrace r/linuxfornoobs r/Linux r/whatplantisthis r/eattheweeds

I'm hoping that some of the writing and image sharing subreddits make their way on here. Specifically: r/AbandonedPorn/, r/AccidentalRenaissance/, r/ImaginarySliceOfLife/, and r/LetsNotMeet/

• touhou
• linuxmasterrace
• country communities, like lithuania

POST SCRIPTUM: a community for developers

Definitely /r/mechanicalkeyboards

/r/talesfromtechsupport /r/maliciouscompliance and /r/prorevenge always give me a chuckle.

I really enjoy r/archery hope they make it here

Please can we have a "BuyNothing" or "Freecycle" Comunity? One for each city/region/area would be better but If needed we could have just one where post titles contain the location (SacramentoCA) before anything else. Then sorting / Searching would weed out the unwanted due to distance items.

Visual Novels would be nice. And maybe a place to talk about my biggest guilty pleasure... Porn games 🤡

r/Aviation and r/KerbalSpaceProgram equivalents would be welcomed by me.

I've seen a few people mention fighting games on here (e.g. Street Fighter). I'd be interested in that. The number of gameplay clips people would be sharing make me think it ought to be its own instance, though.

Also:

• pens, fountain pens
• mechanical keyboards
• watches

Some communities have been created for those, but don't seem to have gained much popularity.

Conlangs!

randnsfw 😏

r/HobbyDrama or a more hobby oriented history community. Also r/AskHistorians or similar, although that one will take more effort and setting up than simply making the community. I personally use Reddit to see a couple memes and then read both of the subs I mentioned. I like seeing people who are passionate about a thing talk about the history of that thing.

A couple, I think. WoTshow is one I really liked. And exatheist is a tiny sub where a bunch of people who were once atheists of all different religions talk religious philosophy.

r/usbchardware

r/goldenretrievers

r/singapore

r/nottheonion

r/antiwork

r/impracticaljokers

r/amateurradio r/flashlight

r/ultralight, r/myog and r/wildernessbackpacking

You can tell what I'm into.

/r/futurama
/r/3Dprinting
/r/swift.

Most of these are on Reddit, but there may be a few that I thought could be specific, but not as niche as some of the ones on reddit. (like no community just for one game)

Van conversion/van life

Birding

Camping and hiking

AmITheAsshole

Each state in the US

Longevity

Kindlescribe/e-ink

RestlessLeg (or a chronic condition community)

Woodworking (bigger builds)

Carving (smaller builds, not furniture or big stuff)

Nutrition

NextFuckingLevel

JRPG

Turn-Based RPGs

Action/Adventure Games

malelivingspace, blacksmithing, fishing, hunting, calligraphy, archery, wma, preppersales

Big city communities. Like Milwaukee (could fit into Midwest social)

/r/FreeGameFindings

All the anime communitys, what's that thing, because it probably saved several people's lives, the communities all around gaming and (let's be real) most probably want the NSFW part of reddit to migrate here as well...
