A community about fountain pens and calligraphy, I loved watching that stuff
An easier way to link communities. It was so simple on reddit just typing r/sub but here it's more complicated
As far as I can tell, Lemmy server update 0.18 will improve upon relative linking of instances so that a link such as /c/community@lemmyinstance (or the even simpler !community@lemmyinstance) will take everyone to their own instances' version of community@lemmyinstance (see this comment for a more detailed description)

Glad that there is already !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world , but there isn't that much content yet.
But at least it exist ๐

I do not miss the circle jerk subs. I admit some were funny, but most were just mean-spirited and ended up becoming worse than whatever it was they set out to make fun of. For example, the books circle jerk sub was full of snobs who snarked at people in the books sub for...gasp... liking popular books.
There's just something inherently pathetic in using a platform to make fun of others on the same platform. It's like going to a dance party solely to stand on the side and make fun of the way people dance.
I hope that sort of thing doesn't catch on here. But the "asshole filter" could creep in if lemmy reaches a high user population.
The various personal finance related subs. There are some communities with similar names, but the depth of experience is lacking.
I want even more animals! Rat, rabbit, mouse, everything!

For me economics, finance, and investing subs are the ones that I got back for. Other than that most of the subs that I liked are mostly here
I look at it as Lemmy isn't large enough to support smaller communities unless they come here as is.
PublicFreakout. I love cringing at the worst people in society
It's the lack of really small, niche, but still relatively active communities that is the biggest loss for me (so far). For example, I want to to talk about Brentford FC, a tiny English football club which was only promoted to the Premier League a couple of years ago. But we're a million miles away from that when there are exactly two communities for general soccer and one community for Liverpool FC, all three with exactly one subscriber.
Any other Bees fans out there? This Flekken guy seems pretty promising, even if I had hopes for Alban Lafont.
DepthHub & RBI were good at times.
Although the obvious answer for me is the already niche subs on Reddit for software/TV shows which have just a few hundred people there. There'd be 10 people at absolute max on here and the community would not last.
/r/askscience /r/askmen and the ones for the TV shows I watch.
Second the TV show communities. Always enjoyed the post-episode discussions.
Edit: they have been added, I'm thrilled r/lockpicking or room porn if they haven't been added.
L4L (or, R4R). It went private on Reddit and is still dark. Probably not enough users on Lemmy for it to be viable here yet though.
Just from the top of my head r/BoneAppleTea and r/AmITheAsshole
Both of these are on lemmy.world. Might not be quite as much content yet though.
