For example, I used to follow a lot of subreddits for individual YouTube content creators, however, Lemmy doesn’t really have the size or culture to support this currently.

    Ancient coins. There’s a sub on Lemmy but it’s sadly unpopulated. I miss being able to interface a bit with other collectors, but fuck my ass if I have to go back to Reddit for that.

      I digged down in what coins (they overlapped usually IIRC) had the highest probability of have being manipulated by jesus or the supposed apostles. Wasn’t that expensive if my memory is right to get a bunch with a high probability.

    Not exactly niche but I’d like to see some active gardening and diy communities. The existing ones aren’t very active.

    Software Defined Radio, Ham Radio, RF Electronics, amateur satellites and Meshtastic.

    The only community I am (more than) fully satisfied with here is Linux.

    Oh, but also communities like askdentists, psoriasis, etc. Those were pretty helpful on Reddit.

    There is not much Lemmy communities for discussion specific/centered around specific entertainment media (video games, anime & manga, web videos, etc)

    Back when I’m still on Reddit, I’m used to lurking around a lot of these kind of communities on that site. Community centered around video game franchise like The Legend of Zelda and Sonic the Hedgehog, content creators like Linus Tech Tips and Hololive, and even some niche topics like Windows 10 LTSC and Otonokizaka

    Those kinds of subreddits simply doesn’t have any equivalent in Lemmy, and even if it did, it is far far more inactive compared to its Reddit counterpart. To me that is one of the biggest problem with Lemmy right now and kinda could be a reason why there is still many user who sticked into Reddit and does not 100% migrated to Lemmy.

      Agreed completely. I still have to go back to Reddit regularly becuase its the only place for discussion for a lot of my interests. For example, War Thunder, despite being a massive game, only gets a post or two a month here (all recent ones by me) and zero activity beyond that. I can’t even go to the forum, because they ban anyone who criticizes the game or says anything they disagree with. That leaves me with just Reddit, so I’m stuck going back regularly.

        Have tried posting about an alternative forum on Reddit, that allows third party apps? I’ve done that after messaging the mods in some communities, some of them were quite receptive

      I’m pretty sure the hololive community is active here.

      It’s also a pretty self fulfilling prophecy but I get what you’re saying. Hopefully the new scaling sort gets more popular as instances upgrade to 0.19. I’ve seen so many more smaller communities since I’ve started browsing by that.

      Even league of legends, a huge game worldwide, barely has a community here.

    The only reason I check Reddit with any regularity anymore is for content local to where I live. There’s a few communities on the fediverse for my area, but with only minimal, sporadic activity.

    I would love to see more activity around fostering animals, particularly cats. I started !fosteranimals and have participated over at !fosterkittens, but it seems there’s not many of us so far.

    Beginners/basic programming for non-IT. There’s a lot of people that might want to do very simple things with arduino or other mini computers. Python, or even simple Linux tasks, that don’t want to start a whole “Programming lessons A-z” multi-stage class-format learning adventure.

      Hmm… I bet the owners of r/roguelikedev could be convinced to run a Lemmy community, seems their style. I think they can be reached via discord. I might look into that, they were a good group, and helpful.

    I wish there was somewhere to talk about Counter-Strike, particularly the e-sports scene.

      Ironically, I want somewhere to talk about Counter-Strike excluding the e-sports scene. There is nowhere to learn smokes, share maps, or even find a team.

    Would love to see more crochet content, there is alot of posts in the knitting community here, but the crocheting ones feel dead.
