What is a sub/community that you wish existed (actively) on Lemmy?
Maybe there are others like you and we can actually get it running, or maybe to already exists but you just don’t know!
More women-oriented communities would be great. Skincare, makeup, women’s fitness, female health, nail polish, aging. I’d love that.
Yes! Or fiber/needle arts! Im struggling to quit reddit because theres like 6 crochet posts over here T_T
Oh my gosh thank you <3 now i need to do my part and help with engagement haha
Yes! The number of great patterns I’ve gotten off of r/knitting has been invaluable to my learning.
Hi mate! We’d love to see your crochet stuff at !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al we’re for all things women related
Oh nice! Headed there now, much appreciated <3
Agree! I’d love to see more discussion around female health, not necessarily constructive but just bants about the ‘gross’ stuff, memes and complaints and stuff. The issue is that I’m a comment contributor more than a poster, as much as I try. So as much as I’d like to Be The Change, it really has to come from a lot of us posting and interacting.
Today CheeseToastie created a new community for women’s interests. I’ve agreed to share it around so if you’re interested, come join us at !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al
If I started a women one that covered all of that, would you help me promote it?
Sure!
Great it’s !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al just in the process of building it
Awesome, thanks! :)
Np post away! If nothing else I’ll chat with you haha
A nail one would be great. Maybe we can make one.

And I’ve just posted in there a very important nail polish question! ;)
Oh exciting!
AskHistorians
It exists but 100% not in the same form
Link it!
But not run by the people from the og reddit, so its quality I dont know
It’s quality on Reddit was from heavy moderation. It’s not that at all.
but the pool of commenters that are historians might decrease over time because of karma requirements
That really was the best of reddit.
Actually active formuladank community
I really should visit !formuladank@lemmy.world more actively, most of the time the posts in there dont even show up on my feeds I think
It’s also been in a bit of an expected lull during the off-season. I think it will pick up come next weekend when the season actually kicks off.
That’s a fair point, I did join lemmy during the off season
Oh, man, if we could find someone on lemmy with the time, energy, and mad skills to do the same kind of race recaps that u/Alphamaxnova1 used to do I would be so happy.
Hell even lost rocket powered Mohawk on YouTube so I think it’s just the Covid hype is dying down unfortunately. But yeah alphamaxnova1 is the goat of f1 shitposts
The sequence of COVID into Season 1 of DTS into the 2021 season into new regs and the first half of 2022 was really an insane period for hype and growth. Don’t think we’ll ever see anything like it again, barring perhaps an American teenage wonderkid fighting for the world championship leading to true mainstream US adoption.
I agree though i am holding out hope for the Cadillac lineup. It’s so much bigger to have an American car manufacturer in f1 than Logan Sargeant in the Williams. I always thought there is no way American fans will want to watch their one driver come last every race, it’s gonna have to be competitive or it’s not a big deal. Hopefully Cadillac can get up to speed of at least alpine when they join but I know that’s a very tall order
SpeedofLobster! A good lobster always cracked me up.
Writing Promts was cool
and the camouflage community (I may be very biased lol)
Writing Prompts was cool
Well, you’re in luck!
!writingprompts@literature.cafe
They just started reopening the community, so hopefully more people will participate.
Awesome thank you!
The one on .world just shifted to literature.cafe.
The .world one was set up by an occasional contributor to the subreddit.
A general simracing community that’s not hosted on .ml
I saw this show up pretty recently, so no content as of now. https://lemmy.zip/c/SimRacing
Yep. Already subscribed. There’s two posts already, should be federated through lemmy-federate.com now.
I wouldn’t mind some of the Random Acts to come over and be more active. Even though I never used it, I always thought the idea of the Random Acts of Pizza was a grand idea for those who are in need.
Random acts of cards was my #1 fav sub but I’m unable to participate now (long story see my post in the byereddit community)
Random kindess was cool too.
Reddit had a few really good and active lifting communities. There were interesting program reviews, sometimes everyone would run super squats together and report on the various effects of drinking a gallon of whole milk per day on the digestive tract. And I could help others join in and start lifting themselves into their best selves, since not many people in my real life circle are interested
You could try creating a lifting community on Lemmy, no? Who knows, maybe it would pick up?
Maybe at !fitness@lemmy.world ? I see there is some activity in there
Yeah this - this would be really great.
There’s !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world, but it’s been dead for a while. I kinda miss reading those stories about assholes getting what they asked for.
Another that was fun reading occasionally was scambait, where people would fuck with scammers to waste as much of their time as possible. I don’t know if there’s anything like that on Lemmy.
I want lostmedia and unsolvermysteries communities to exist and be more active.
Ah I’d love for unresolvedmysteries to exist in an active form!
Talesfromyourserver!
!talesfromyourserver@lemm.ee exists and would need someone to start oosting content there I guess
What did it used to be
R/raisedbynarcissists for sure.
Posts like that are welcome at !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al we’re a women’s only community for all things women. I’m making it a supportive and inclusive community
The small niche communities are the ones I’ll probably never see again, like /r/reverseanimalrescue /r/TheNightFeeling /r/darknetplan
There’s !thenightfeeling@lemmy.world !
Ahh thank you! I loved this over on reddit.
I’d never heard of this and like it… thanks for sharing!
Communities for identifying random stuff! Rocks, plants, bugs, fossils, that weird thingy in your grandma’s kitchen… I love lurking on them because I learn to notice more in my day-to-day life. The downside is that they need more active moderation to weed out wrong or unhelpful comments.
And on a related note, communities for admiring natural stuff, à la mineralporn.
Model railroading. Even on Reddit those subs weren’t super active, but they at least existed.
Magic the Gathering. There’s actually 3 here already, but somehow none of them really scratch the itch to just talk about deckbuilding. And again, the 3 that are here are fairly quiet. Just doesn’t seem to be the critical mass needed.
DankChristianMemes. Was just fantastic. Perhaps the best ‘neutral’ ground I ever saw for Christians & Atheists to laugh at themselves & each other.

!dankchristianmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone
It’s a bit quiet though
Oh wow, don’t know how I didn’t find that. Thanks!
I would love some more active Magic The Gathering communities as well. I was pretty disappointed seeing how quiet they are.
