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

Not what I'm missing but what I've already found that you were looking for:

https://lemmy.ml/c/books

https://lemmy.ml/c/literature@beehaw.org

https://lemmy.ml/c/antiwork@lemmy.ca

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?

[–] probodyne@feddit.uk 0 points 2 years ago

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.

r/hamsters. r/hermitcrabs. r/locksport.

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.

[–] kalanggam@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago (5 children)

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.

[–] Kory@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

I've found https://lemmy.ml/c/startrek for you :)

[–] emeraldheart@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes to the language-learning one! I really need to have a space to support my goal of learning German. I'm already really missing that resource that I had on Reddit.

[–] neamhsplach@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago

r/france was really fun to hang around for language learning reasons! I loved their sense of humour. Their thread about whether the subreddit should blackout (i.e. strike) over what was going on was absolutely hilarious. It went something like:

Mods: Hey r/france we're wondering whether we should strike on... Redditors: Yes.

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

[–] WolfRun24@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago

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)

[–] Yoreo@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

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

[–] lunarshot@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago

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.

Fighting games/fighting game shitposting

Gamedev

Lancer RPG

[–] styx@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago

Eli5 and eli7 were nice.
infrastructureporn, ruralporn etc. were also quite interesting.
partyparrot was awesome.
catswithjobs
dndmemes was fun

[–] heraldique@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I would like to make a community for Québec City, bilingual at least

Also

r/webdev
R/fuckCars
R/ionic or r/capacitor . These are from the same company.

r/HobbyDrama. Fantastic reading material when you're bored. I actually still have a backlog of saved posts on Reddit that I want to get through from there (preferably sooner rather than later...).

[–] PelicanPersuader@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago

#1 most missed sub, right here. HD was the calmest, most polite drama community I've ever been in. Genuinely nice folks.

[–] zeWaardt@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I was a big fan of /r/justrolledintotheshop.

A similar community here would be tons of fun!

[–] kool_newt@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago

Yes! I need my daily dose of WTF!!?

Kinda dumb but some of the "obscure humor" (for a lack of a better term) subreddits I kinda miss, like r/comedyheaven, r/skamteboard, r/oldpeoplefacebook, etc. The meme communities I've found on the fediverse, while totally fine, don't really scratch the same itch for me lol.

[–] ShittyKopper@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 years ago

The closest we have seems to be !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone

[–] winterstillness@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Super niche, but

scalie/furry/yiff art (yeah yeah, I know)
anime tomboys (also yeah yeah, I know)

These would need a separate instance due to NSFW and hosting costs.

[–] BobQuasit@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

There IS an instance specifically for erotica/NSFW, I believe: https://federotica.com/

[–] winterstillness@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago

That's pretty neat! Thanks for sharing. NSFW in general has so much "inertia" in terms of users. If NSFW migrates elsewhere then that's a sure sign of times changing (IMO).

[–] ___@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 2 years ago

There's actually multiple: https://lemmynsfw.com

[–] Kayzels@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I think there is also Lemmy NSFW, but I'm not sure of the exact instance url unfortunately

[–] FlowerTree@pawb.social 0 points 2 years ago

There are quite a few furry/yiff art on yiffit.net instance.

But, to view nsfw art on lemmy, afaik, you must log into a lemmy account on an instance that supports nsfw (notably, lemmy.ml doesn't supoort nsfw, but beehaw.org does so you're safe), you also need to enable nsfw in your account settings.

[–] TheSwampBitch@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I miss the r/Aerials subreddit. It was a niche for Aerial arts, like trapeze, silks etc. I would do it but I don't know how. That's the one I miss the most really, since the community is quite small as is, and where I live there's no community at all. I just made another account on Reddit for it a couple of weeks ago.

Other than that, I miss:

r/raisedbynarcissists
r/marvelstudio
r/relationship_advice
r/foodporn
r/cozyplaces
r/cooking

Very niche, but would love to see the Obsidian md community find a home here; or something in the direction of general productivity and tools for it.

[–] claudinec@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago

Lemmy or at least Beehaw tends to favour more general communities; I wouldn't mind seeing a general notetaking/pkm/digital garden community where we can share our high-level methods and philosophies without getting too deep into specific software issues.

[–] micseydel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I created https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/pkms but I honestly don't know what I'm doing yet 😆

I'm gonna miss r/world building a bunch, so much creativity. That, and other specialised hobby subs.

[–] Dee@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm also into worldbuilding! We can make our own worldbuilding community! We can even worldbuild some hookers and blackjack if we want to!

The niche I haven't found on Lemmy yet is coffee – we don't need to replicate a subreddit for every brew method, but I'd love to have a general community for coffee bean reviews and brewing tips.

[–] SirSauceLordtheThird@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'd like a mobile gaming sub, something for psp, 3ds fans etc
edit: i found one !3ds@lemmy.world

[–] Tony_Pepperoni@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Comic books
Book clu

[–] PelicanPersuader@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago (6 children)

My niche hobby and snark communities, like AmericanGirl, FundieSnarkUncensored, DuggarsSnark, and HobbyDrama. I hope to see them resurrected elsewhere with just as good of moderation and communities as they had on Reddit. I know a lot of websites say they don't want drama but a well-moderated drama community is a public service that keeps fights contained.

[–] firead@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I was wondering if someone was going to create a good fundiesnark community and if there would be enough interest here to keep it up.

I lurked more than posted on those communities because I've seen how toxic they can easily become and was turned away by some of the drama or when the snark started focusing on personal characteristics but, having been raised fundamentalist, there were also a lot of really relatable threads where others would share similar experiences (and the snark communities were always much more active than the survivor/former communities).

Probably niche, but /r/skyrimmods. Nexus is a toxic hellhole, but that sub was relatively chill (although had the occasional bit of drama, admittedly).

I really wish something like /r/Fitness or /r/Bodyweightfitness could gain traction on here! I miss the daily question threads and discussions about exercises, techniques, routines and things like that.
