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

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

    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.

    I feel like there’s a lack of communities dedicated to specific games. Sure, I can see communities for Pokemon and Zelda right now, albeit on lemmy.ml

    But somehow, we don’t have any major Minecraft communities? I liked the subreddits for modded Minecraft and Hermitcraft. Apart from that, the Terraria sub had its moments as well.

    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

    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.

    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.

    • UX research (there is an empty 2yo uxdesign sub…)
    • Artisan videos
    • Is it bullshit
    • UK personal finance
    • /r/menslib, specifically because the mod had really thoughtful takes
    • OCPD (a bit different from OCD subs)
  • ✨Abigail Watson✨@lemmy.blahaj.zone

    • sketching
    • art timelapse
    • amateur room porn
    • Ramie@fedia.io

      Subs I enjoyed having on my home:

      • sewing
      • jumprope
      • icecreamery

      I’ve not tried searching out replacements yet, so don’t know if there are any.
