Your favorite movie, series, or anything else really that you can’t find a community here (or maybe it just doesn’t exist)
I’d love to see more healthy food, fitness, weight loss and healthy lifestyle-related communities! Also, I don’t think there’s a community for ‘petite fitness’? Would love to see that as well.
The labrats subreddit was kinda fun. I’m a chemist, but the chemistry subreddit was overwhelmed by people asking for homework advice, showing off bad caffeine tattoos, and getting upset when they couldn’t talk about drugs or explosives.
On reddit, there’s a subreddit called r/lrcast, which is the dedicated subreddit for the Limited Resources podcast. The primary purpose of the subreddit, however, is not to discuss the podcast, but to discuss the “limited” format of Magic: the Gathering, which constitutes draft and sealed. It’s a very difficult, very expensive format of Magic to play and is a niche subsection of an already fairly niche hobby.
I’ve got one! Obscure textile crafts.
There are knitting/crochet communities of course, but all the super niche ones like ply-split braiding or smocking are too rare to warrant a whole community to themselves. On reddit there was a defunct sub called bistitchual, both for all obscure fibercrafts and for combinations of unrelated fibercrafts in one work. I wish we had it here.
More outdoors stuff. They exist, but not very active. Mountaineering, climbing, camping, overlanding, etc. Love people sharing their adventures and all the gear and tips & tricks discussions.
Yeah, I searched for hiking and backpacking to replace my equivalent subreddits and just crickets everywhere.
While it’s a good idea, things are a little too decentralized right now.
There are lots of communities that are just stealing users from each other.
I’ve no desire to be joined to 17 ‘different’ communities with maybe a few dozen members each and content that is mostly crossposted between those same communities.
Progression fantasy
A history subreddit would be nice to see. It genuinely brings joy to my face to learn some interesting facts about the middle-ages. And overwhelming amount of Lemmy users need reminding of what happened in Cambodia in the late 70s.
Hopefully not as a bunch of really good question posts full of mod-deleted answers.
Research paper reading groups.
Like in general or regarding specific topics?
Initially in general, but if there was enough interest breaking into specific topics would be nice to
What’s your domain?
Math, electronics, algorithms, and chemistry are interesting to me
As a bonus behavioral economics
Algorithms sound interesting to me from a research paper perspective. Im a little intimated by the others.
Is this like a book club but for research papers?
yup!
Sounds like a good way to gain higher level reading literacy
You’re welcome to post about papers and discuss them over in !general@lemmy.world to try to get this going for more specific communities!
Do you know of any other sites that have this? Sounds awesome

why have just a community when you can have a whole instance
e: oh jeez, the irony flew right over me
I miss weird niche creative silly roleplay reddits like
r/vxjunkies
r/enlightenedbirdmen / r/madmudmen
r/earth999
r/nsfwworldbuilding - mostly bees with boobs
These random communities is something I wish picks up when the lemmyverse grows.
r/WindTunnelZebraBDSM
TL;DR shitpost sub created alongside r/BirthofaSub
Oh, and r/BlackMagicFuckery and r/BlackSmithFuckery
TV, movie and book discussion communities aren’t very active around here.
Seeing as this thread is still active, instead of continuing to reply to people throughout, gonna go ahead and put this out here.
If you’re not finding an active community for something (safe for work, that is) or any community whatsoever for your interest, you’re welcome to post about the topics that interest you in !general@lemmy.world till you find enough likeminded people to get a separate community going. This was always allowed tbh, but I’ve tried to make it more explicit and clear that it’s cool.

Cyberpunk RED TTRPG community.
Shadowrun TTRPG community.
Polandball.
A community for my home town.
A Canadian politics and current affairs community.
A community for some of the podcasts I listen to would be nice.
We have a few of those here, but they aren’t too active and they have a pretty narrow Overton window (ie, I tend to agree with most posts and comments).
I tried posting that kind of stuff. It was thankless. Nobody else started posting. I gave up.
For Cyberpunk I would just try the myriad general gaming comms for now.
polandball@lemm.eenvm, it seems to be a dead community!canada@lemmy.ca, !canadapolitics@lemmy.ca
I do not know whether any of this is helpful.
