For me it’s been communities like /r/buildapc, /r/buildapcforme, /r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, and /r/consoledeals have been useful throughout the years.
I’d love to see communities about:
- crafting (fibre crafts like knitting and spinning in particular)
- classical music
- photography
- Latin
- history (r/askhistorians?)
- cats
- art
- cooking
- writing
- Star Trek
- menopause
- AuDHD
- birdwatching
- gardening
- reading
Glad to report that r/menopause has moved to c/menopause@lemmy.world
A lot of these communities already exist on several instances. If you’re not already aware of https://lemmyverse.net/communities I encourage y’all to peep it
Videos/mealtimevideos was a big thing for me. They kept me entertained while I ate lunch, lol.
local geographic area. ought to be easy to create and find users. useful too!
There was a time when /r/youtubehaiku was one of my most visited subs. It would be great to see more short weird videos that give you a little chuckle.
/r/ExMormon
/r/curvy . I mean, uh, /r/gardening. Yeah that one…
For me it’s
- /r/selfhosted
- /r/home server
- /r/3dprinting
Off the top of my head communities like
r/3rprinting r/instantpot r/todayilearned r/therewasanattempt r/space r/changemyview r/unpopularopinion
I miss r/actuallesbians, r/MTF, and some obscure gaming communties like r/titanfall, r/Metroid and r/Earthbound.
Oh and the brainrot known as r/okbuddychicanery and r/anarchychess.
Hmmm …

I’m missing a lot of more specialised things, but these are pretty broad I think
I saw it sort of mentioned, but I think niche shitposting communities like the various okbuddy subs.
/r/chaosmagick
I glanced briefly, but couldn’t find a topic on it. What’s the stance on NSFW (i.e. porn, art, etc.)?
Most instances (servers) don’t allow porn because it needs constant content moderation (laws against CP and other nasty stuff). They simply don’t want the liability. But it’s not forbidden to create a server that allows/hosts pornographic stuff. I bet we will see some porn servers in the near future.

Eldritch horror Garfield is essential to any online community.
You’re joking but currently a discord I’m in has a cult over a specific Garfield Minus Garfield comic, a cult that got genuinely rowdy when the comic stopped being posted.
All I’m saying, Garfield is probably an elder god
I’m probably only half joking. I love when people just do weird shit for the hell of it, it reminds me of the early internet. People doodling horrific Garfield content is weirdly wholesome and just makes me happy.
