Particularly one that you personally would like to post/comment in on a regular basis
You must log in or # to comment.
It doesn’t work that way, sadly. Successful niche communities split off from bigger ones after there is enough shared interest to make the split necessary. Creating a new empty community from nowhere will likely result in its staying empty. That is the state of many niche communities we already have.
Everybody is obsessed with with copying Reddit here.
Nobody wants to put in the work to build it organically like Reddit was, they just want to press a button and have a bot “seed” content until poof! There’s a community!
It just doesn’t, and won’t ever, work that way.
I don’t necessarily disagree, but Reddit wasn’t all OC at the start, either.
I guess now there are so many social media sites now that some people spend all their time, to paraphrase Cory Doctorow, cross-posting between 5 sites for Internet points or to build a following. It sucks, but plugging away posting OC will build it up over time.
Did I say anything about OC?
Sorry, I assumed you had a point beyond “Reddit bad!” My mistake.
i did, but based on your comment history i am not too surprised it missed you.
I wish there were more philosophy related communities
British panel shows.
Listed links to stream episodes of shows like Taskmaster, Have I Got News For You, QI, Would I Lie to You, and 8 out of 9 Cats do Countdown.
When daily news and life got too grim, it offered 30-60m of just brain dead funny distraction. Now, have to put up with Google and Youtube search bullshit and most of the time they’re wrong.
I’d be pretty thrilled with more discussion on the topic too. I’m glad for !taskmaster@feddit.uk, but wish we all had a bit more to say in there.
Sometimes, when I’ve researched something and compiled a ton of useful information about a topic… wish there was a lemmy for that. Kind of the opposite of asklemmy.
Informlemmy?
Game emulation communities should be larger.
One that shows big machinery. Like cranes, trains, excavators and stuff like that
well since this is the highest voted comment (at +11) as of this writing, I created that community. Hopefully some people who have the same interests join along too.
https://lemmy.world/c/cranetrainexcavators I was going to Call it cranestrainsandexcavatorsandstufflikethat but Lemmy has a silly 20 character limit ;)
Thats very nice of you :D I will subscribe to it and post as soon as my instance allows again, it has some weird server error that allows me to see posts and comment via the api but not much else
Yeah something weird was happening, this comment just posted but it was trying to load yesterday and wouldn’t load.
Project Zomboid community.
r/slovenia
Snack exchange
Sports subs for my favorite teams, game day threads used to be a lot of fun watching along with everyone around the world
Boxing. Will never happen tho. That’s the only reason I keep a Reddit account.
I miss /r/rain and /r/cosyplaces
Me too.
Let’s do it. Let’s make a rain community here!
Already exists !raining@sh.itjust.works
Oh ! I missed it ! Thanks a lot ! 😊
Nice! Thanks.

I haven’t listened since the first “campaign” but I love the discourse.
What’s TAZ?
The Adventure Zone, a DnD-flavored storytelling podcast that started out strong, but then… Became strongn’t.
/r/happycowgifs
Seems dumb, but having your feed interspersed with random happy cows just makes all the terrible headlines less terrible.
Hey there big boi
/r/weightroom was a great little community and resource with high quality posts for folks interested in weightlifting and getting stronger. It is the community that I miss the most from reddit. It helped me learn how to use barbells, evaluate routines and change my physique dramatically. Literally changed the trajectory of my life
