Jambands/Grateful Dead type stuff.

Yes I know there are groups out there, but no one is extremely active. I'll give it time: Weir Everywhere

Psychonaut, DPH, heavymind, weirddalle, mspaint. All were once hidden gems of Reddit

A nudist/naturist sub would be really nice, been missing out on events lately so at least chatting about it would help shake the feeling of isolation.

Also, a space for plural systems would be super appreciated. We wouldn't really know what to say in it but it's really cool meeting other systems and learning about them.

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.

R/raisedbynarcissists for sure.

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

Dad for a minute and internet parents! They were my favourite

Communities for news, papers, and general conversation around humanities and social sciences. Communities for underground music (e.g., goth music).

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.

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

More women-oriented communities would be great. Skincare, makeup, women's fitness, female health, nail polish, aging. I'd love that.

I miss national and regional meme communities such as 2visegrad4u. Cultural and historical context makes the memes flow much better.

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.

AskHistorians

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)

SpeedofLobster! A good lobster always cracked me up.

Actually active formuladank community
