What is a sub/community that you wish existed (actively) on Lemmy?
Maybe there are others like you and we can actually get it running, or maybe to already exists but you just don’t know!
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
Oh my gosh thank you <3 now i need to do my part and help with engagement haha
Yes! The number of great patterns I’ve gotten off of r/knitting has been invaluable to my learning.
Hi mate! We’d love to see your crochet stuff at [email protected] we’re for all things women related
Oh nice! Headed there now, much appreciated <3
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.
Today CheeseToastie created a new community for women’s interests. I’ve agreed to share it around so if you’re interested, come join us at [email protected]
A nail one would be great. Maybe we can make one.

And I’ve just posted in there a very important nail polish question! ;)
Oh exciting!
If I started a women one that covered all of that, would you help me promote it?
Sure!
Great it’s [email protected] just in the process of building it
Awesome, thanks! :)
Np post away! If nothing else I’ll chat with you haha
/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.
That seems like a really important community to have here
[email protected] It’s still fairly new but a post on there also links to related lemmy communities
Been more posts than I thought! I never see them for some reason.
A community for the car I own, no matter what it is. (With thousands of active members, of course.)
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
I’m very new here. Why is lemmy anti car?
Because climate change
This but also for a lot of people the impact the car has on communities, suburbanisation, defunding public transportation etc. is a big factor in wanting to see change.
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
We don’t have enough Linux discussion
Did you forget the /s?
There’s [email protected], 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.
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.
Random acts of cards was my #1 fav sub but I’m unable to participate now (long story see my post in the byereddit community)
Random kindess was cool too.
AskHistorians
It exists but 100% not in the same form
Link it!
But not run by the people from the og reddit, so its quality I dont know
It’s quality on Reddit was from heavy moderation. It’s not that at all.
but the pool of commenters that are historians might decrease over time because of karma requirements
That really was the best of reddit.
when lemmy started they said they couldn’t come here because they feared associating with MLs would compromise their unbiased ideal. I wonder how that’s working out for them
The small niche communities are the ones I’ll probably never see again, like /r/reverseanimalrescue /r/TheNightFeeling /r/darknetplan
There’s [email protected] !
Ahh thank you! I loved this over on reddit.
I’d never heard of this and like it… thanks for sharing!
I want lostmedia and unsolvermysteries communities to exist and be more active.
Ah I’d love for unresolvedmysteries to exist in an active form!
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.
R/raisedbynarcissists for sure.
Posts like that are welcome at [email protected] we’re a women’s only community for all things women. I’m making it a supportive and inclusive community
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.

It’s a bit quiet though
Oh wow, don’t know how I didn’t find that. Thanks!
I would love some more active Magic The Gathering communities as well. I was pretty disappointed seeing how quiet they are.
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.
DPH? Like ppl abusing benadryl?
Yeah, absolutely crazy sub
Its fucked up
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.
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
We’d love to see your quilt at [email protected] we’re trying to fill the female void on lemmy.
will check it out, thanks!
