I think we need less while traffic is low. Like a hobbies group instead of a lot of smart communities that are more specific.
Gore
Lemmy can never have enough dead communities! Also we should have clones on each instance for good measure.
A r/LetGirlsHaveFun and an r/LetBoysBeManipulated 🥺
I would kill for a lemmy alternative to /r/AskHistorians, but it requires a very dedicated moderation team, and I don't know that the user base here is large enough to support it.
Worldbuilding. There are communities for it but they're not very active.
Not sure these are communities that I would like to see on Lemmy necessarily, but they are stuff that I have no space to discuss here:
- political organization design
- fermentation
- fine dining and cooking
- videogames design theory and videogames critique
A community for homeless people.
Reddit had great HVAC and Refrigeration subs that I miss. The HVAC com here is basically completely inactive. Honestly there are so few tradies on lemmy, it would be nice to just see all the tradie coms consolidated into one so there is some activity.
I completely agree. I'm not even in the industry but it's a fun hobby topic for me. I even got an EPA 608 universal license for fun.
One can't have enough on diy and repair/restoration
I’d also like to see more hobby based ones. Agree on the diy/gardening/recycling and non waste.
I hate Reddit but they were always good for outsider tech stuff like the specific game (e.g sims) community or stremio etc when you just need an answer or a bit of support fixing or configuring something.
almost collected the whole set of my diagnoses with autism and bipolar communties... now just need a borderline personality disorder one
Pretty sure there is a bpd community.
Edit: There are two but one hasn't been active in more than a year. This one is the most active. https://lemmy.world/c/bpd
Specific story related ones. Eg His Dark Materials, Avatar The Last Airbender, Cosmere
I actually started a Cosmere community but nobody ever used it
More skincare
There's some specific ones I miss from Reddit. Stuff for sites like Letterboxd, Serializd, and Backloggd. One for cartoons would be nice (I searched, but the only thing I found here was one for comics). Not sure if there's a community here that would be good to ask for recommendations in for like TV shows and videogames.
Clothing & style
Non-Christian centric 'Believers United' kinda community, although I admittedly can't even conceive it in either ethos nor content. Maybe someone smarter than me can make it happen? 🥺
I could look into that, as I'm a non-Christian believer in Messiah Yeshua. It'd be a historicist-centric community, though, as that's what I happened to be after being a futurist for most of my life. Yes, I was a recipient of the Mark of the Beast on the right hand by obeying Rome, even if I wasn't Roman Catholic.
I'd be happy to brainstorm that idea with you privately if ever you wanted to help with that.
I'd love to hear more about your belief system. This kind of stuff is endlessly fascinating.
I'd be happy to privately send you a few teachers you could take a look at, and then compare their claims against yours.
My experience is financial, tax, medical, and legal where I have to go elsewhere.
I'd love to see more cycling related stuff. Like xbiking, fixed gear, ...
Trolling and bullying
