I'd love if the Dead by Daylight community was more active here
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.
Without a doubt, it's Queens of League. It's an unhinged, thirsty gay mob shitposting about League of Legends.
Parent/Trying for pregnancy/pregnancy.
I found the pregnancy conversations on Reddit (while I was on Reddit is fun) to be much less toxic than on those discussion forums on pregnancy apps.
The small niche communities are the ones I'll probably never see again, like /r/reverseanimalrescue /r/TheNightFeeling /r/darknetplan
R/raisedbynarcissists for sure.
Communities for news, papers, and general conversation around humanities and social sciences. Communities for underground music (e.g., goth music).
Dad for a minute and internet parents! They were my favourite
modernquilts / modernquilting, I used to look in that R and ppl shared progress pictures and finished modern quilts. Was a great source of inspiration. #modernquilts on fedi/pixelfed is quite empty unfortunately
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.
I miss national and regional meme communities such as 2visegrad4u. Cultural and historical context makes the memes flow much better.
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
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.
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.
Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game
I want lostmedia and unsolvermysteries communities to exist and be more active.
Ah I'd love for unresolvedmysteries to exist in an active form!
I'm very new so I haven't explored much yet, but I wish there were more subcomminities of the communities, like for example on Reddit there's subreddits for metal, but also subreddits for specific artists within that.
Or how there's all the gaming communities but not many sub communities for specific games outside of maybe some of the larger games/game series.
I guess just more niche or deeper within a specific topic communities I'd say. But there may just not be enough people to go super specific with communities yet. Or I haven't found them yet.
unfortunately the things I would most like are things I don't currently participate in that I greedly would love to be in the loop about. so pathfinder, star trek online, and champions online.
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.
SpeedofLobster! A good lobster always cracked me up.
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
Casual Conversation
Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.
