I’m genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?

Subs that have good guides and community info
If you want to see a specific community that doesn’t exist, then set it up and post some content! If you want the type of places to hang out that you had on Reddit, you need to create it, nurture it, and grow it. There’s no guarantee that Lemmy will be the place to land during the Reddit exodus, but it is a place to land, and a damn fine one at that. Putting my money where my mouth is, if you ever want to talk about calculators head on over to [email protected]
I created and mod two subs on reddit, and I’d love to see them make their way over here, but I’ve had a child since creating those subs, and I just don’t think I have the time to do it anymore, sadly. Both subs seem on-board with the blackout on the 12th though, so maybe some of their members will find their way here. Maybe I’ll even point them here with a sticky on the 12th…
Definitely do a sticky! I’d be doing that for sure if I had your mod powers 😊
Here are the ones I’d most like to see:
- AskScience
- AskWomenOver30
- auntienetwork
- CozyPlaces
- crowbro
- EarthPorn
- FinancialIndependence
- fitness30plus
- GenX
- greyhounds and longboyes
- Guitar, JustinGuitar, LearnGuitar, and guitarporn
- hyenas
- menopause
- oldhagfashion
- personalfinance
- PetiteFashionAdvice
- Philadelphia
- rance
- retrofuturism
- RStudio
- ShitAmericansSay
- SimpleLiving
- space
- tattoos
- TeenMomOGandTeenMom2 because I love my stupid guilty pleasure trash TV lol
- TheGirlSurvivalGuide
- xxfitness
- And every single animal subreddit
I’d be keen for RStudio!
Both are a bit new and I still need moderators given the larger scale, but c/EarthPorn is now here, as is c/personalfinance
Happy to report that r/menopause has moved to c/[email protected]
Yes, definitely personalfinance!
I know we’re talking about moving away from Reddit but I don’t see this on your list and it sounds like it might be a match for your interests --have you taken a look at /r/badwomensanatomy?
Yep, that one’s good too!
r/piano r/Ukraine r/linux r/linuxphones r/philosophy r/geopolitics
At the very least Linux and Linux phones are a thing here, I’d love to see them take off though
Imo those would be a lot easier than other subs anyway, considering Linux users tend to prefer open source solutions as a general rule
Linux is pretty well represented so far versus most other topics
Some music subs I like to peruse like r/Headphones, HeadphoneAdvice, BudgetAudiophile, Vinyl etc. If anyone has some alts to suggest, let me know!
Yep +1 for subs like /r/vinyl, /r/audiophile and /r/budgetaudiophile

I’m on fucker with bad sense of humor (and transbian tendencies) so I frequent these on Reddit (and thus would be nice to have them here) r/196 r/traaa r/GaySoundsShitposts r/AnarchyChess r/actuallesbians
Throw in some anarchist communities as a bonus.
This might be controversial, but I think the TwoX communities need space here. Don’t make them automatically appear on the front page, and hopefully their creators and moderators have the tools to keep them space but yeah, this site needs spaces like TwoXSex, TwoXChromosomes, TwoXPreppers, Beyondthebump, Mommit, Childfree, etc. I’m new here but didn’t find any of those on initial glance and like a great bar, you need women to show up and be seen/heard. Give them a safe space (see my comment on moderation tools) to transition to and I bet Lemmy would get lots of people to switch.
Also, to echo another person, we need a “master” list of communities, at least the umbrella ones. For instance /plants could be the umbrella for /botany, /trees, /gardening, etc.
Lastly, this site needs porn. Hear me out before you start judging. Nothing drives technology usage like porn. VHS and digital video are both huge because of porn driving widespread adoption. PornHub needs to spin up a server for its infinite catalog which ensures they get paid but also that minors aren’t being exploited.
Oh, feature
Requestrequest, some kind of incognito mode in the mobile apps which lets people view NSFW media without it being in their history. Also the app should disable built-in messaging options while in that mode to ensure fewer bad decisions and bad outcomes from accidental texts of disabled midget porn to various contacts. Just an idea I had.Maybe we can skip naming the women’s communities after chromosomes this time around. TheGirlSurvivalGuide is another good subreddit to reference as far as nice women’s support content. From what I recall, that support group gained in popularity after TwoXChromosomes was made a default subreddit.
Personally, I could do without the porn. I don’t think every website needs to include porn. There are lots of other places to go for that content. So much of it features abuse of women and honestly it’s quite refreshing when I find a site that doesn’t feature it. I really hate unexpectedly coming across someone choking a woman. I wouldn’t mind it so much if the bulk of it was adults actually sharing mutual joy together, but that’s not generally how it goes and I hate to see so much suffering and exploitation normalized and spread across so many different places.
As a Transfem individual I didn’t necessarily feel excluded from TwoX, but I could see how other transwomen or AMAB transfem people might feel that way.
Edit: I’d love to see Witches V Patriarchy here too.
I would love witches v patriarchy too!
I would like to see r/simracing/
deleted by creator
I mean have simracing subreddit here at Lemmy

Archery is one of the main ones I’m missing. I’d create it myself if I could work out how 🤣
Games, Archery, Mushrooms, Growing, Synthesizers, Drugs
deleted by creator
One for home theaters, and one for audiophiles.
There are some subs that I’d rather see dead, and some that are just amazing, just based on their moderation and communities. r/fantasy is a shining beacon of light in an otherwise dark world, and with it a lot of the sister communities like WoT, Stormlight_archive and similar. They all have a positive feel, including and fair with just enough moderation without becoming heavy handed.
So in a sense it’s not so much the content, but rather the community itself that I’d love to see persisting beyond reddit.
I would love for r/synthDIY, r/AskElectronics and r/redneckengineering to move over to lemmy.
I think they would all do quite well here.
very much agree about redneckengineering, I’m missing it so much
