For example, I used to follow a lot of subreddits for individual YouTube content creators, however, Lemmy doesn't really have the size or culture to support this currently.

The weather. Be it local weather discussion pages, country etc. especially for big events.

Aerial arts - silks, trapeze, flying pole, lyra, straps, custom apparatus like cubes/chairs etc. Anything about doing artistic acrobatics on a piece of metal/fabric/other suspended in the air. The community on reddit was the perfect size but pretty much none of them came over to lemmy.

Classic cars - there is a community https://lemmy.world/c/oldcars@kbin.social but it is basically dead

Old Muscle car repair, building, etc.

Air-cooled VW for me, but I'd settle on auto repair general if it was active.

Individual communities for every car in existence like reddit has. And an active bitcoin community that isn't just a bot mirroring posts from reddit.

Edit: and a community for DJs.

I'd love to see niche communities.

Maybe "!nicheinterests" is an idea?

I miss the cursed minecraft communities from reddit(r/phoenixsc and r/minecrafthmmm)

[-] jvrava9@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago

r/jailbreak, r/sideloaded, and r/magisk. I moded the first two but there is just not enough activity.

[-] FunkyMonk@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

scale models.

[-] Doorbook@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

For me it is OnePiece manga that I would like to see more active here. Currently the only option is reddit.

Chain mail as both armour and a craft.
