For me it's been communities like /r/buildapc, /r/buildapcforme, /r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, and /r/consoledeals have been useful throughout the years.

r/vegan

And in no way, am I saying I would like to recreate that community, but a vegan friendly space with Beehaw's core values, just sound amazing to me. r/vegancirclejerk was great too, but I had personal issues with the mods.

Ditto but for r/vegetarian, which had a lot of vegan users too. I want to talk about cooking, but not have to wade through posts about meat to do it.

I glanced briefly, but couldn't find a topic on it. What's the stance on NSFW (i.e. porn, art, etc.)?

AskBeehaw. PC Gaming, Retro gaming, different communities for each major console.

[–] Netsettler2k@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Mystery, true crime, or r/RBI type content would be all it takes to solidify my place here. Many of those communities across the web lean into their toxicity, so I’m crossing my fingers for a sane place to engage in discussion and participate in deep dives.

Even more specifically, subs like r/whatisthisthing or r/toyid are fun for people who enjoy some light sleuthing. Anyone know if there’s a Lemmy equivalent or adjacent to any of these?

Whatever hyper-specific place lets me rant about how everyone misuses PDFs. ...And a BattleTech sub.

Heck, just generally, I wish Lemmy was more like... spin up a server and you've basically got a subreddit. Rather than having these big mostly-isolated attempts at being everything.

Soccer and photography are probably the two main ones that come to mind for me. I'm really happy to see the new writing community, and I'm excited to see more specific creative communities come about.

[–] HeroicOnion@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

For me it's all the photography-related communities. Photography, Cinematography, Analog, & Astrophotography are the primary ones.

[–] CarolineJohnson@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

FFXIV, stuff like /r/StoriesAboutKevin and /r/TalesFromTechSupport, and /r/xena

[–] arcticpiecitylights@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

A sub for Bike Mechanic stuff - either submit a photo/issue, or brag about new tools kind of thing

I would personally like a fine art related community. Something for critique and discussion of art and art history. It seems like many places I’ve been before turn their nose up at anything abstract or outside the realms of traditional western art.

I really enjoy the specific game based communities but obv that is a bit of an umbrella.

I really like changing my wallpapers, so something for mobile wallpapers. Also, I really enjoyed r/

whatisthisthing for wacky things people found

askdocs and legaladvice for advise on when to seek professional assistance

askreddit (which I see some posts, along with AMA-type things on c/chats)

YouShouldKnow and LifeProTips

Outoftheloop to ask questions for summaries (e.g., Why is everyone talking about Johnny Depp?)

[–] Garrathian@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For an askreddit replacement there is an asklemmy community on the lemmy.ml instance !asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Honestly though I hope it doesn't become too much like askreddit. That sub got increasingly repetitive with it's questions (i guess there's only so many questions to ask internet strangers though)

Travel-focused communities would be lovely, akin to r/travel and r/solotravel among others.

[–] pyarra@vlemmy.net 5 points 1 year ago

One of my favourites was r/engrish, basically making fun of English misspellings. I couldn't find it so I created it over on https://vlemmy.net/c/engrish Come over and join us and share you favourite misspellings. Already posted a few of my favourites.

I loved the insanity of wallstreetbets. Hm. Maybe better off without lol

[–] p0q@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

/r/curvy . I mean, uh, /r/gardening. Yeah that one..

[–] trashhalo@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I'd love to see local community pop up like /r/WashingtonDc or whatever town state you're in

[–] DodoTheDev@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Some that I have come to enjoy on "That other site":

Facepalm InstantKarma KDE Linux (although I appreciate there's a community for OS) ObsidianMD StarTrek Buddhism Astronomy Motocycle (and/or MotoUk) Meditation Archery Rollerblading

[–] naoseiquemsou@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are there any diy communities?

[–] Kamirose@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

!diy@beehaw.org!

You can also go to the communities tab, change the filter to "all", and type in "DIY" or "Do it yourself" to find it across all lemmy instances (that federate with your instance)
