I used to be a big fan of videogame subs, it doesn't seem like there are many communities here focused on specific games.
Minecraft and rimworld had some great community content.

Guitars. Reddit has numerous active, friendly, supportive guitar forums. Lemmy doesn't have a single one.
I wish people shared their projects and hobbies more
I wish there was more MotoGP and motorcycle content in general....
I π want π more π girl π content π
To be clear - I am talking about stereotypically "female" subjects, not about the gender itself, and I hope it goes without saying that I want people of all genders to be part of it. Some topics over on reddit are full of guys, NBs, and everyone else, but are what a bigoted 90s teacher would call "female" topics. I want more stuff of what that 90s teacher would call "girly" stuff.
I mean, something like a makeup community. Maybe skincare and fashion. Cleaning tips. Pre and post and peri pregnancy content. The parenting community on lemmy is super quiet. There is a sewing community but it is rather quiet too. I haven't found a mending focused community yet. Boy there even isn't a sailor moon community, like π come on
I'm horrible in creating any content tho, so uhm, not sure I should be complaining.
Girl, you gotta post!.. Maybe this fits the bill ? !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works
You can also rally up the gals over at
!womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone
Or !witchesvspatriarchy@lemmy.ca to start a periodic diacussion thread over those topics you propose? Or just post a thread and see how it goes?
Lastly... You are welcome to post in !artshare@lemmy.world I feel the userbase needs more women , so do a lil sketch and join us there!
Reddit allowed us to be ultra passive, but here contributing is almost mandatory, otherwise the communities just die...
https://lemmy.world/c/gothindustrial has been resurrected and we are slowly growing. It's not just about music. We include arts, interviews, stories, etc. We are an inclusive community.
πLetβs π start π coordinating π people.
Subbed thanks!
You'll probably see it there, but there are only a few people who will persistently try to grow a community, week after week.
Reading the comments here, it seems like a lot of people would like their niche community to be active, but we have to acknowledge that with our current userbase, more general communities are already struggling to stay active, so niche ones are even harder.
Example: !movies@piefed.social is kept up active by less than 5 active posters, and that's a generic community about movies.
!cooking@lemmy.world is probably good enough for all types of cooking, you get the idea.
Jesus christ stop making acounts stay blocked
Yeah it's pretty wild. But if we ask people to join niche stuff. Odds are they're gonna half as it (at least) and just sub to the bigger ones which... I'm taking as a win.
The dropout community would be nice to circle jerk with. But I really miss my knock off cheap Chinese fake watch sub. I tried to post to it here but my post got deleted and the sublemmy shut down soon after.
The new Jakob ep of gamechanger was a good time. That being said, I also don't appreciate how they pushed a player(jess?) to tears(happy tears) in her emotional episode in a way earlier season. Weird lil grey zone I haven't seen explored elsewhere.
I'm very conflicted. But I keep watching.
We need more activity over there. I hope to make a post or two soon, but it's sad only seeing a couple new posts before seeing things from months ago. C'mon 3D artists!!! Where ya at?
!blender@lemmy.world
Also:
- !blender@lemmy.ml
- !blender@lemm.ee (RIP)
- !blender@sopuli.xyz
- !blender_3D_animation@lemmy.ml
- !blenderanimation@programming.dev
- !blender@kbin.social (RIP)
- !blender_channel@video.blender.org
Perhaps some consolidation might be warranted here?
Wow, quite a few pages there, but they all have the same problem π not enough activity. C'mon Internet!
I'll sub to that. Been meaning to get more in to blender
Welcome in!ππ
The Yogscast community for one. That's what I sought out here first, and it's dead as the desert.
If Lenny were less complicated to understand I would!
Shameless self-promotion: !anniversaries@sopuli.xyz
It's like "On This Day", "This Day in History", etc. I'm currently the only poster but I don't mind, I enjoy regularly looking for interesting anniversaries.
Post anniversaries on any topic you feel like; even personal anniversaries are allowed!
One of the most well-intentioned and reasonable spaces to discuss this type of stuff I've found, but posts are not frequent.
Subbed. I used to love Men's Lib on Reddit.
!cooking_with_fire@feddit.uk
!recipes@feddit.uk
!runequest_glorantha@feddit.uk
Basically the subs I mod. It would be awesome to see anyone new add content.
!guitarporn@sfw.community is basically dead, though I am as guilty anyone of not posting more.
!reallyshittycopper@lemmy.world has seen some posts lately but I wish it was more active.
!autoracing@crazypeople.online for motorsports.
!autoracing@crazypeople.online for motorsports.
I've been working on a bot to help with serving content to that community but it isn't ready for deployment yet. Once it's finished there should be a lot more content being posted more regularly there, but I want to do more testing and tuning before enabling it to make sure it's not doing more harm than good.
Lemmy already superseded my expectations with how active it is. That being said, I would love the following to see more action (although I'm mostly lurking there myself):
!nba@lemmy.world - Loved the discussions on Reddit. As a European, it's not easy to follow the games, so that was a great way to stay up to date.
!criticalrole@lemmy.world - Mostly carried by /u/Ultragramps@lemmy.blahaj.zone, whose updates are *chef's kiss*
!quackers@lemmy.world - No explanation needed.
!kitchenconfidential@lemm.ee I miss venting with a bunch of other cooks on reddit, but unfortunately this community is pretty inactive.
Are you aware that lemm.ee shut down? Any communities will need to be recreated on another instance.
I'm a fan of these kinds of games, especially Smash Melee. Since leaving Reddit and Twitter, I feel pretty disconnected from them.
I'm trying to learn Japanese as a hobby, and it's slightly unfortunate that there's not much of a community for it here. I think the first two kinda split the userbase by having slightly different focus, preventing a definitive one spot. The third one is decently active though, mostly thanks to just a handful of people. The effort makes a big difference.
I really think so.

Not one community specifically, but I really wish that communities about sports - specifically American football - were more active. I really miss that from the other place.
