r/locksmith has no equivalent here and I’m not sure it ever will because it’s such a niche trade. Niche porn subreddit equivalents would also be nice but the ones I’m thinking about get barely any activity on Reddit so they would be completely dead here.

My favorite three communities from the othersite are niches of niches (of niches again, even) that simply aren’t popular with this crowd. lol

Active combat sports community would be cool. I love mma, boxing, bjj and anything related to combat.

Two communities that I miss the most from Reddit is r/mapporncirclejerk and r/vexillologycirclejerk. It’s not something that is going to appear organically until Lemmy reaches a certain critical mass, but maybe one day

Frugality.

We have a bit of it through zerowaste but I wish there was more.

We now have dumpster diving for DD or Curb findings but there isn’t much activity yet.

I would also love to see a community about decluttering with an anticonsumption mindset. [email protected] is mentioned down there.

It isn’t a matter of what I’d like to see on Lemmy, it is more like, I want to see more activity in already dead and mostly abandoned instances on Lemmy and the fediverse.

r/darkartwork is one of the only things I still browse on reddit with no smoke whatsoever fit the community. Amazing place with heavy anti-incel/anti-fash inclinations. Great reminder that art can sometimes be a great magnet for unspoken moral character

I wish it was here, but it might not have drawn the same numbers since it’s kind if niche

r/cripplingalcoholism

I’m not a big enough fan of the medium to be able to keep a community around it alive, but just found a new audio drama recommended in the pluribus subreddit, and am listening to it now (it’s called immunities if you’re interested).

Anyways, I just looked and was like, oh, there isn’t a c/audiodrama on Lemmy. It is what it is, but it’d be nice.

Most of the communities I would like to see already exist, what they lack is… participants.

To name just one, among my few favorites of back when I used reddit there was r/Simpleliving, which exists on lemmy too: [email protected]. Sadly, it’s not active.

Plur1bus and similar high profile tv shows so i can look at memes

Blender and other FOSS software memes

I just want more memes pertaining to my obscure interests but no time or motivation to mod communities ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There aren’t enough cats or other awww.

I’d like to see a revival of [email protected], but it seems the mod abandoned it. They joined Lemmy, were active for a couple days and then vanished.

The one with all the terrible music; I miss that one =C

Ones of niche topics that I am interested in.
