What is a sub/community that you wish existed (actively) on Lemmy?
Maybe there are others like you and we can actually get it running, or maybe to already exists but you just don’t know!
AskHistorians
It exists but 100% not in the same form
Link it!
But not run by the people from the og reddit, so its quality I dont know
It’s quality on Reddit was from heavy moderation. It’s not that at all.
but the pool of commenters that are historians might decrease over time because of karma requirements
That really was the best of reddit.
when lemmy started they said they couldn’t come here because they feared associating with MLs would compromise their unbiased ideal. I wonder how that’s working out for them

Actually active formuladank community
Oh, man, if we could find someone on lemmy with the time, energy, and mad skills to do the same kind of race recaps that u/Alphamaxnova1 used to do I would be so happy.
Hell even lost rocket powered Mohawk on YouTube so I think it’s just the Covid hype is dying down unfortunately. But yeah alphamaxnova1 is the goat of f1 shitposts
The sequence of COVID into Season 1 of DTS into the 2021 season into new regs and the first half of 2022 was really an insane period for hype and growth. Don’t think we’ll ever see anything like it again, barring perhaps an American teenage wonderkid fighting for the world championship leading to true mainstream US adoption.
I agree though i am holding out hope for the Cadillac lineup. It’s so much bigger to have an American car manufacturer in f1 than Logan Sargeant in the Williams. I always thought there is no way American fans will want to watch their one driver come last every race, it’s gonna have to be competitive or it’s not a big deal. Hopefully Cadillac can get up to speed of at least alpine when they join but I know that’s a very tall order
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
It’s also been in a bit of an expected lull during the off-season. I think it will pick up come next weekend when the season actually kicks off.
That’s a fair point, I did join lemmy during the off season
All of the individual games I play and not just the general “gaming” subs. Plenty of video game enthusiasts on Lemmy; not enough to geek out over specific games. Or at least… Not the ones I play.
I also think it will be a long time before those can get up and running. There is much disdain towards video game companies on lemmy, and there is much right for it to exist. It does however make any community outside of the retrogaming hard to grow without the arguing.
This is a great reason to grow those places here, though. My biggest issue with game specific communities is the fact that the game companies try to control them. Most subreddits are moderated by the game companies, and official discords are a lost cause. We really need a neutral, public place to be to talk about games where we are allowed to actually be critical of them
What games do you play?
Same. I miss r/OldWorldBlues and other strategy game communities. Most likely there aren’t enough people who are interested in that mod, so maybe I’ll bug the Fallout comm for that lol.
SpeedofLobster! A good lobster always cracked me up.
We don’t have enough Linux discussion
Did you forget the /s?
/r/liberalgunowners was a favorite. Everyone was so nice and accepting. We’d answer the same noob questions all day, no problem. None of “MuH 2A!” crap, nobody bloodthirsty. Anyway, I could go on, but it was nice while it lasted.
That seems like a really important community to have here
!liberalgunowners@lemmy.world It’s still fairly new but a post on there also links to related lemmy communities
Been more posts than I thought! I never see them for some reason.
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.
Awesome thank you!
The one on .world just shifted to literature.cafe.
The .world one was set up by an occasional contributor to the subreddit.
A general simracing community that’s not hosted on .ml
I saw this show up pretty recently, so no content as of now. https://lemmy.zip/c/SimRacing
Yep. Already subscribed. There’s two posts already, should be federated through lemmy-federate.com now.
A community for the car I own, no matter what it is. (With thousands of active members, of course.)
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.
Random acts of cards was my #1 fav sub but I’m unable to participate now (long story see my post in the byereddit community)
Random kindess was cool too.
I want lostmedia and unsolvermysteries communities to exist and be more active.
Ah I’d love for unresolvedmysteries to exist in an active form!
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.
Talesfromyourserver!
!talesfromyourserver@lemm.ee exists and would need someone to start oosting content there I guess
What did it used to be
The small niche communities are the ones I’ll probably never see again, like /r/reverseanimalrescue /r/TheNightFeeling /r/darknetplan
There’s !thenightfeeling@lemmy.world !
Ahh thank you! I loved this over on reddit.
I’d never heard of this and like it… thanks for sharing!
Communities for identifying random stuff! Rocks, plants, bugs, fossils, that weird thingy in your grandma’s kitchen… I love lurking on them because I learn to notice more in my day-to-day life. The downside is that they need more active moderation to weed out wrong or unhelpful comments.
And on a related note, communities for admiring natural stuff, à la mineralporn.
