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 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.
I’d like a trans community (I am transmasculine, however). To some extent the reddit trans subs are not my ideal, but I can’t articulate what my ideal would be.
The general feel so far I’ve seen on beehaw is that wider communities are preferred - one operating systems community instead of separate Linux, Mac, Windows, etc. Same with gaming. The idea being that wider communities bring more exposure to niche subtopics.
I think it started just from lack of enough users to support more niche communities, but yeah, I’m starting to like it this way too I think. It probably helps avoid the echo chamber effect re. trivial shit, too. This way, it’s less likely people will end up in little bubbles just preaching to their choirs or arguing in circles. Maybe.
Really just depends on if users can maintain composure in the face of disagreement (and barring that, moderation that can temper the more… rambunctious members effectively and consistently) as the community grows into a more broad audience. Otherwise the community will just fragment as they always do once civil discussion breaks down from bad faith actors of one flavor or another.
That makes sense actually.
If anything, I’d prefer r/actuallesbiansover25 because the former, when last I looked, had three posts, repeated indefinitely:
When you put it that way…with that said 1 and 3 don’t bother me(although 2 does sometimes), but it might be because I’m 18 :P
