For me it’s been communities like /r/buildapc, /r/buildapcforme, /r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, and /r/consoledeals have been useful throughout the years.
Videos/mealtimevideos was a big thing for me. They kept me entertained while I ate lunch, lol.
/r/curvy . I mean, uh, /r/gardening. Yeah that one…
I would love to see something like r/AskHistorians. It’s my favorite sub by far, and something I have really seen anywhere else. It’s heavily moderated (in a good way), and the answers are all high quality and sourced. It’s pretty much why I held on to my reddit account as long as I have.
Definitely a good one.
Hmmm …

I’m missing a lot of more specialised things, but these are pretty broad I think
Off the top of my head communities like
r/3rprinting r/instantpot r/todayilearned r/therewasanattempt r/space r/changemyview r/unpopularopinion
I want equivalents for:
- r/Fantasy
- r/tipofmytongue (iirc that name - the one for helping people find shit they’ve forgotten)
- maybe r/52books (it produces too many simple posts to just go in r/books, not sure if the same would be true here)
- r/vegetarian
Edit: r/fantasy is the biggest one for me. In effect the subreddit is really more for SciFi and Fantasy, both - and other speculative fiction - and they have a yearly speculative fiction bingo card that’s really fun to participate in. It’s mostly books in practice but is not exclusively about books.
Disability and anything cat themed
Something pet related seems pretty apt. Surely it already exists but I haven’t seen anything yet haha Edit: it does exist
What’s it’s called?
Animals and pets
I’d love to see communities about:
- crafting (fibre crafts like knitting and spinning in particular)
- classical music
- photography
- Latin
- history (r/askhistorians?)
- cats
- art
- cooking
- writing
- Star Trek
- menopause
- AuDHD
- birdwatching
- gardening
- reading
A knitting and crochet community, regardless if its separated or together as a unified fiber arts community would be a godsend
Glad to report that r/menopause has moved to c/menopause@lemmy.world

Knitting or a unified fiberarts would be fantastic.
“Indie Products”- a place for people to nerd out about stuff made by small independent makers and for indie makers to find support maybe? I’m not a maker myself but I really enjoy buying from small businesses and finding out about cool products.
Any and all of the sports subreddits. Nothing brings more user engagement (positive and negative) than game threads for sporting events. The sooner we can get a thriving sports community going, the faster Lemmy or any social media app will grow.
Also wanted to add that a comics equivalent would be nice if there isn’t one already. I doubt many of the longtime artists would migrate fully, but it would at least be another platform that could get them greater reach.
/r/guitar, for those of use who struggle (and suck) at self-learning this amazing instrument.
A “Frets” community would be great, for all the fretted instruments to hang out.
Edit: !guitars@lemmy.world brand spankin’ new
I’d like to see a book suggestion community with a decent number of requests. Something like r/booksuggestions or r/suggestmeabook. Most of what I did on Reddit was recommend books in response to requests.
I wouldn’t mind seeing a New England community, either. Or Massachusetts one. I’d start one up, but I don’t know if I could handle the moderation responsibilities!
local geographic area. ought to be easy to create and find users. useful too!

For me, the real magic of Reddit was in hyperspecific niche communities full of hobbyist experts – or even professionals. Places like r/tolkienfans.
Unfortunately that is only possible when you have a very large user base; it’s the only thing still keeping me (a bit) on Reddit
