I would've thought GURPS would be more represented in the Lemmy demographics.
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.
Jambands/Grateful Dead type stuff.
Yes I know there are groups out there, but no one is extremely active. I'll give it time: Weir Everywhere
It's not dedicated to it, but I'm certain many of your favourite tracks would be welcome over at !psychedelicmusic@lemmy.world
Please.
I am begging you.
I know only psych-rock and I want so much more
Psychonaut, DPH, heavymind, weirddalle, mspaint. All were once hidden gems of Reddit
Between you and the person who wants jam band content, yes, slowly but surely my people are coming.
A nudist/naturist sub would be really nice, been missing out on events lately so at least chatting about it would help shake the feeling of isolation.
Also, a space for plural systems would be super appreciated. We wouldn't really know what to say in it but it's really cool meeting other systems and learning about them.

What are plural systems?
Model railroading. Even on Reddit those subs weren't super active, but they at least existed.
Magic the Gathering. There's actually 3 here already, but somehow none of them really scratch the itch to just talk about deckbuilding. And again, the 3 that are here are fairly quiet. Just doesn't seem to be the critical mass needed.
DankChristianMemes. Was just fantastic. Perhaps the best 'neutral' ground I ever saw for Christians & Atheists to laugh at themselves & each other.

!dankchristianmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone
It's a bit quiet though
I'd love if the Dead by Daylight community was more active here
R/raisedbynarcissists for sure.
Parent/Trying for pregnancy/pregnancy.
I found the pregnancy conversations on Reddit (while I was on Reddit is fun) to be much less toxic than on those discussion forums on pregnancy apps.
The small niche communities are the ones I'll probably never see again, like /r/reverseanimalrescue /r/TheNightFeeling /r/darknetplan
Without a doubt, it's Queens of League. It's an unhinged, thirsty gay mob shitposting about League of Legends.
Dad for a minute and internet parents! They were my favourite
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.
/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.
!liberalgunowners@lemmy.world It's still fairly new but a post on there also links to related lemmy communities
That seems like a really important community to have here
modernquilts / modernquilting, I used to look in that R and ppl shared progress pictures and finished modern quilts. Was a great source of inspiration. #modernquilts on fedi/pixelfed is quite empty unfortunately
Communities for news, papers, and general conversation around humanities and social sciences. Communities for underground music (e.g., goth music).
More women-oriented communities would be great. Skincare, makeup, women's fitness, female health, nail polish, aging. I'd love that.
Yes! Or fiber/needle arts! Im struggling to quit reddit because theres like 6 crochet posts over here T_T
Agree! I'd love to see more discussion around female health, not necessarily constructive but just bants about the 'gross' stuff, memes and complaints and stuff. The issue is that I'm a comment contributor more than a poster, as much as I try. So as much as I'd like to Be The Change, it really has to come from a lot of us posting and interacting.
A nail one would be great. Maybe we can make one.
A community for the car I own, no matter what it is. (With thousands of active members, of course.)
!cars@lemmy.world ?
No what I mean is specific communities for specific cars. A community for 350Z owners. A community for S2000 owners, a community for Toyota 4Runner owners, etc.
People there post about their specific cars and get some answers. No need for separate communities until the activity grows
Maybe not. Lemmy is very anti-car, it wouldn't take off here and would get massively downvoted.
I'm aware of that; doesn't mean that I can't still wish for it
Bionicle.
The Bionicle subreddit is very active, but there is no active alternative on Lemmy.
I miss my cheap knockoff watch sub r/ChinaTime
I miss national and regional meme communities such as 2visegrad4u. Cultural and historical context makes the memes flow much better.
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.
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

I want lostmedia and unsolvermysteries communities to exist and be more active.
Ah I'd love for unresolvedmysteries to exist in an active form!
We don't have enough Linux discussion
Did you forget the /s?

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.
