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.
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.
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 am a Dark Souls addict and when I quit Reddit for good on July 1st, those are the subs I’ll really miss most. I’m also a history teacher and adjunct and really will suffer without /r/AskHistorians.
Oh, r/askhistorians is precious.
Maybe a History community on here would be nice, at least, until there are enough folks for more specific spots.

“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.
For me it’s all the photography-related communities. Photography, Cinematography, Analog, & Astrophotography are the primary ones.
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.
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
I found !knitting@lemmy.world trying to get off the ground. (hope I got that link formatting right)
local geographic area. ought to be easy to create and find users. useful too!
r/Aquariums, r/PlantedTanks, r/Aquascape !
/r/curvy . I mean, uh, /r/gardening. Yeah that one…
I’d really like to see a photography community pop up. Not necessarily a /fujifilm /leica community, but a general photography place for folks to share their snaps, and get advice about techniques and gear.
I miss r/actuallesbians, r/MTF, and some obscure gaming communties like r/titanfall, r/Metroid and r/Earthbound.
Oh and the brainrot known as r/okbuddychicanery and r/anarchychess.
I saw it sort of mentioned, but I think niche shitposting communities like the various okbuddy subs.
