Few dozen communities here.

Are you sure? It would probably work
I would be willing to do it if the community was on the instance with disabled downvotes otherwise nah.

I didn't ask for recommendations. I just shared what I miss and lemmy in no way will replace them for me due to low traffic like I mentioned at the top of my comment. I know those communities exist. I'm working on indexing communities for [email protected] after all although it's behind the scenes so the current form isn't representative of what I know of.
A lot of these are cool, if i have time i could create some.
I wouldn't recommend creating communities for the sake of creating them unless you can commit to posting and moderating them.
That's what i meant :) in a couple of weeks i'll have a lot of free time so i can contribute some of it to that. And some of these i really like r/antimeme and r/oddlysatisfying.
I will look forward to them then! :D
You might want to format it a bit, it's quite hard to read at the moment
Just finished.
-
Niche committees for random movies, TV shows, games, or whatever form of entertainment. It was pretty cool having communities for The Crow, Hellraiser, iZombie, Xena, Due South (who here even knows Due South?) and basically just whatever the hell you can think of. Even specific bands, to throw music into the entertainment mix.
-
Fashion based communities like Alt Fashion, Goth Fashion etc. I think communities like that would thrive here because NSFW is kept pretty much separate from most instances, so it would help keep away the porn brain commenters and OnlyFans bots. Also things like hair and skincare style communities. You could find really niche shit like even communities for advice specific to hooded eyes.
-
Feminist slanted communities with active discussion. There are a couple of communities where probably the moderators are keeping the lights on by posting articles occasionally but beyond that, they're ghost towns. I'm honestly surprised that more people from these sorts of online communities haven't come here yet because Reddit in general likes to "both sides" this kind of conversation. While it seems generally more acceptable here to get off the fucking fence and walk around on the left hand side.
Fashion
[email protected] is so quiet that I wouldn't even try more niche style.
skincare
Similar for [email protected]
Niche committees for random movies, TV shows, games, or whatever form of entertainment
Besides the general ones like [email protected] and [email protected], there are a few like [email protected] . We keep a pinned post at the top of [email protected] , feel free to have a look.
Fashion
Honestly, I think there's two big barriers to this (same goes for the NSFW side of things, if I may say). No posting to your own profile and from what I can tell, a very inconsistent (or non-existent) system of being able to follow specific users. Reddit is much better equipped for people who are going to be posting pictures of themselves and maybe promoting themselves and gaining a following.
But I think also the other problem that also applies to things like skincare / health and niche entertainment communities is just that there's not enough users around yet to make more niche subjects active. That I understand and can only hope changes over time.
We keep a pinned post at the top of [email protected]
Thanks, I have checked out that thread before. Seems to be a good place to check for any new specific communities that pop up or that I haven't thought of. I think I need to add that community to my favourites and visit it more often because it seems like the best central place for now. Although of course I'm not watching everything as it comes out, so can't promise I'll be commenting on everything.
Couldn't Lemmy create a 'Replicate Reddit' bot that copies new posts from specific communities on Reddit and recreates them under similar communities on Lemmy?
Issues people have with this is
- the OP will never see comments
- it replicates everything, including the rage baiting stuff
Most posts are also at 0 comments with 0 upvotes, because what's the point of interacting with a post for no reason?
lemmit.online does that already actually, if you're interested in it
Noob question perhaps, but why is there a separate instance that does this instead of communities doing this one on one? For example, Lemmy/c/nba could auto-replicate new posts from Reddit/r/nba, no?
Most instances wouldn't want a reddit bot using up their resources, so it would be best for them to have their own separate instance.
The issues remain.
Most of the posts on Reddit nowadays are low quality and/or rage baiting. Most of the users don't want those replicated.
And if the questions are replicated, the person asking the question will never see the comments.

Leaving a comment there so I remember to share the list later.
I miss tankporn, there aren't enough images of vehicles that can kill me in my Lemmy feed.
Tbf, most I use especially since I started ignoring news and politics... Chinese, Buddhism, art, yoga, poetry etc. Local city subreddit. Everything "humanities" is sparsely populated here even though I try my best to get the ball rolling. I still use reddit for some of this.
Thank you for your posts on [email protected] !
We have [email protected] to discuss community growing and posting
Lemmy is very poor in gay communities. There are some, but very inactive.
Strange, you'd think blahaj zone, despite mainly being trans would have some communities for gays and lesbians.

r/morbidquestions. I don't think it's coming here any time soon as it's a moderation hell and lemmy doesn't seem very into morbid stuff.
Yeah, I started one here, told the folks on the discord about it, and nobody ever switched.
Mind you, I abandoned the sub a ways before reddit shit the bed in '23, but it had a warm and bloody place in my heart, and some of the people there were/are genuinely great folks.
Tbh, I think here moderation would be easy enough for now. Lemmy runs higher to people that actually read community rules. And, since there's a lot less limits to what can be discussed overall, a small team could handle it as long as they aren't all in the same time zone.
But, over on reddit, automod could handle most of it anyway. Throw in some keywords, set it to filter for mod review, and you're good to go. Without that, if it got as big as the subreddit did, it could get to be a serious job.
I was actually wondering if you're the same southsamurai from there. Your comments were always super detailed and informative. I also haven't visited the sub in a while but it did have a culture of low/more chaotic moderation which I guess attracted similar users. Maybe we could do without that here.

Lemmy definitely needs some more mod tools like this, and I'm surprised that there still aren't. Has no one made anything like this yet?

You prompted me to go through and check what I was subscribed to on Reddit, so here goes:
Rubik's cubes
- r/anarchycubing
- r/CubeModding
- r/cubepics
- r/Cubers
- r/Cubinggore
- r/NewCubes
- r/twistypuzzles
[email protected] exists, but it is pretty small, and there isn't really a meme culture associated with it. Rubik's cubes are very visual hobby, so perhaps this is being hampered by image hosting costs/restrictions? Personally, since I can't post photos straight from my camera, so I haven't bothered to post any images.
Spaceflight
- r/AstraSpace
- r/DreamChaser
- r/fireflyspace
- r/JAXA
- r/NeutronDevelopment
- r/RelativitySpace
- r/RocketLab
- r/SierraNevadaCorp
- r/spacex
- r/SpaceXLounge
- r/StarshipDevelopment
- r/StokeSpace
- r/ula
For now, I think these topics can be adequately served by [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected].
- r/rocketlabmasterrace
- r/ShittySpaceXIdeas
- r/SpaceXMasterrace
- r/SueOrigin
- r/TEATEBMasterrace
We do have [email protected], but I'm keeping it on "life support" with Reddit content. I wish the Lemmy spaceflight userbase was large enough to support its own meme culture.
CGP Grey, Brady Haran, and Hello Internet podcast
- r/Bestagons
- r/bradyharanexplosions
- r/Flaggyflag
- r/HelloInternet
- r/HItrivia
- r/nailandgear
- r/PodcastPostcards
- r/T_HIP
I've made [email protected], but things have been pretty slow. It doesn't help that the podcast hasn't uploaded in five years XD
@[email protected] has made a nice home for [email protected]. (Psst, it's time to swap out the pinned Cortex thread for the latest episode :)
Tesla
- r/TeslaAutonomy
- r/teslacanada
- r/teslamotors
I think these are adequately served by [email protected] and [email protected]. (Thanks @[email protected] and @[email protected])
Lesser Musk Empire
- r/BoringCompany
- r/Neuralink
I've made [email protected], but haven't had the time to grow it. For Neuralink, might a more general community for brain computer interfaces be viable on Lemmy? I'm thinking something like [email protected].
Board games
- r/Carcassonne
We had [email protected], but no replacement was created when feddit.de went down. Any instance recommendations?
Futuristic tech
- r/deextinction
- r/fusion
- r/ITER
- r/wheresthebeef
[email protected] and [email protected] exist, but they are pretty dead and I'd rather move off of ml where possible. I couldn't find anything for deextinction or cultured meat.
@[email protected], any interest in growing communities for these on futurology.today?
Harry Potter
HarryPotteronHBO
Closest thing is probably [email protected], but it is also being kept on life support with Reddit content.
Miscellaneous
- r/JellyBelly
Nothing whatsoever for this.
- r/JoeyForReddit
Somehow, my favourite 3rd-party app still works on my phone. I don't know how, and I'm not going to ask questions. I am sad that u/codesForLiving hasn't made a Lemmy app. Anyone know what they're doing now or how to contact them?
- r/legoRockets
If the casual spaceflight and Lego userbase of Lemmy could be grown, this community would arise naturally :)
- r/Penderwicks
[email protected] would be the obvious choice, I just haven't gotten around to creating it yet.
