unfortunately the things I would most like are things I don't currently participate in that I greedly would love to be in the loop about. so pathfinder, star trek online, and champions online.
There is a whole instance for star trek!
Startrek.website. I don't think they have a community for the game though. Maybe ask one of their mods to create it? /u/valuesubtracted@startrek.website.
Edit: how does one tag a user?
im aware. star trek online is an mmo.
To tag a user: @user@instance.tld
Some clients will start searching for users as soon as they you type the @ sign, at least Voyager does on iOS.
Pathfinder has communities here. It's just a shame that they're not more active
yeah im on it but like even the news from paizo is not regularly posted which is like I same the minimum it needs to get any traction.

Writing Promts was cool
and the camouflage community (I may be very biased lol)
The one on .world just shifted to literature.cafe.
The .world one was set up by an occasional contributor to the subreddit.

Actually active formuladank community
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
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

SpeedofLobster! A good lobster always cracked me up.
Reddit had a few really good and active lifting communities. There were interesting program reviews, sometimes everyone would run super squats together and report on the various effects of drinking a gallon of whole milk per day on the digestive tract. And I could help others join in and start lifting themselves into their best selves, since not many people in my real life circle are interested
You could try creating a lifting community on Lemmy, no? Who knows, maybe it would pick up?

A general simracing community that's not hosted on .ml
I really miss bpt sometimes. Can't stand to be on actual twitter, but reddit wasn't so awful a medium to discuss highlights when I was still on the platform.
Drones
Codes (about ciphers)
Regarfing drones, both !drones@lemmy.world and !fpv@lemmy.ml seem to be somewhat active
Regarding codes/cyphers, I wonder whether something like that exists and simply has an unintuitive community name.. because that topic definitely fits fedi well
I can see posts from 2 months ago without scrolling down. You have a very different definition of "active" lol
The most recent posts in each community are 3 days respectively 1 week old. For niche communities on Lemmy this is "somewhat active" imo - they havent completely died

Comic_Crits and ctpsd creatives. Somewhere to post personal comic art to share and receive feedback.
I grew and modded the K League (Korean football) sub previously, and I've wondered about starting one Lemmy. I would like one to be here so that I can can keep up with what's happening easily, but I also kinda like not having a feeling of responsibility to post stuff regularly.
If I did start one, does anyone know if there's any technical problems with creating and modding a comm on an instance different from your home instance?
You could maybe start by posting stuff about korean football into a more general community, like !football@lemm.ee
Yeah, I know there's the football one, and I used to post a bit on the .world one, but it's a niche topic even within football, so I know I won't get much interaction from it.
You can only start communities on your home instance as far as I'm aware. However, you can mod remote communities. It just requires some hoops to go through. What you need to do is create an alt on your desired instance, create the community there, then make your main account a mod on it.
Last I heard there's still some problems with it and I'm guessing they won't be resolved soon, like how does moderation work if the reportee is on an instance that's defederated with yours but not the community instance?
Your options are either to create an alt to mod (or just move to the other instance) or to start the community on your home instance.

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.
