r/kamenrider, r/supersentai or any of the tokusatsu subs for that matter

Thanks, I also found !kamenrider@lemmy.ml but it only has one post and two comments, one of which is mine lol

[–] NeoMoss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Hobbydrama It was kinda interesting hearing about the inner workings and happenings in hobby's you never even heard about.

[–] abraxas@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A couple, I think. WoTshow is one I really liked. And exatheist is a tiny sub where a bunch of people who were once atheists of all different religions talk religious philosophy.

It'd be great to have an actual place that isn't just Christians screaming that LGTBQ+ people are of the devil and need to burn, and at the same time not have edgelord atheists decrying that they have figured out everything and are smarter than everyone else

[–] burgersc12@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Just the really small ones i was subscribed to, Tasker will probably be my most missed one, hard to find another forum specifically for one app!

[–] Ingrid_Skovgard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] tunawasherepoo@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

agreed. r/infp especially, i always felt more at home there (even if my interests are more intp-like)

Come to discord!

[–] Satiric_Weasel@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This seems way too unlikely to happen, but r/askhistorians. It's an exceptionally well moderated (if a bit overzealous) community that allows for both the average person to ask seemingly impossible, very specific questions as well as academics to express their knowledge and passion for those very same super specific topics they find fascinating; but have difficulty finding an audience to listen to them in their day to day lives.

[–] prothy@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I'm really hoping for some quality archaeology/anthropology/history content as well, I started !humans@terefere.eu for a kind of catch-all community (and yes, that's the best name I could come up with)

[–] olsonexi@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

A lot of these aren't exactly "niche", but afaik none of them exist on lemmy yet

Edit: for some reason, a bunch of these that actually do exist weren't showing up in search unless I specifically searched for "!community@instance". I've gone back through and added links to them here.

!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com maybe for the first one.

[–] PCChipsM922U@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I've already found most of these, thanks though πŸ‘ ☺️.

[–] fleetfoot@feddit.it 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

r/ultralight, r/myog and r/wildernessbackpacking

You can tell what I'm into.

[–] milescrusher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Hello from !ultralight@lemmy.world, I always wanted more overlap between r/ultralight and r/myog personally, they go hand in hand. Stop by and say hi :)

[–] ScoopWondervill@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Yes please πŸ™πŸ½ I’m not going back to BPL…..

[–] Flaky@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Eurovision is probably the one I'll miss the most from Reddit. The people I talked to their were real chill.

[–] iam8bitwolf@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

r/HobbyDrama or a more hobby oriented history community. Also r/AskHistorians or similar, although that one will take more effort and setting up than simply making the community. I personally use Reddit to see a couple memes and then read both of the subs I mentioned. I like seeing people who are passionate about a thing talk about the history of that thing.

[–] Starfish@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] cornballdefense@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Would love to see about starting up something like r/gamedeals once I get the hang of this place. I'm always on the lookout anyways.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I subscribed to /c/gamedeals and /c/gamedeals@lemmy.blahaj.zone the other day!

(Not 100% if I've linked those up right)

!gamedeals@lemmy.world and !gamedeals@lemmy.blahaj.zone would be the "proper" way to link AFAIK

[–] liam@lemmy.everla.st 1 points 2 years ago

I'll definitely miss r/framework the most, the community on the subreddit is awesome

[–] tuckerm@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I've seen a few people mention fighting games on here (e.g. Street Fighter). I'd be interested in that. The number of gameplay clips people would be sharing make me think it ought to be its own instance, though.

Also:

  • pens, fountain pens
  • mechanical keyboards
  • watches

Some communities have been created for those, but don't seem to have gained much popularity.

r/Aviation and r/KerbalSpaceProgram equivalents would be welcomed by me.

[–] e8d79@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

r/buttcoin, every time I feel bad about myself I like reading about crypto fails to remind myself that I could have made even worse decisions.
r/noncredibledefense, makes the horror of the war not far from me a bit more bearable

[–] Kurt@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

r/woodworking would be nice.

[–] SirSolrac@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

r/grandorder Probably my most used subreddit. Also r/hololive and r/nijisanji

[–] 20inmyhead@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

/r/futurama
/r/3Dprinting
/r/swift.

[–] jnovinger@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

Tada! https://lemmy.ml/c/futurama

I've never modded a sub/community before, much less something with a fanbase the size of Futurama's. But, I'm willing to get it started.

Not trying to start any political debates. These are just some of the subreddits that I would like to see as communities here on Lemmy. Feel free to comment if some of these exist and I'll update my comment.

Ah, just realized that almost none of these are actually niche. Whoops.

[–] supabeast@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

Oh boy , it will be fun when 2westerneuropean4you gets here

[–] TrojanHam@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] mobiuscoffee@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's not exactly obvious how to make them, so here's a more clickable link for all instances: amateur_radio

[–] buxtonwater@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A VR (virtual reality) focused community would be nice, it has a very strong community across devices all things considered.

[–] Wafflasy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Late reply but I just randomly saw this and thought you might wanna check out !virtualreality@feddit.de which seems to be the biggest vr community right now!

[–] buxtonwater@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Awesome, thanks for the suggestion, subscribed.

[–] WandererLagomorph799@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Actually a few, but to list some

~~r/PublicDomain~~

r/MirrorsEdgeAesthetics

~~r/MovieSuggestions~~

~~r/LostMedia~~

~~rMediumReadings~~

~~r/RockinTheClassics~~

~~r/REgames ~~

r/CarHacking could also be good

Maybe~~ r/iwatchedanoldmovie ~~ Some game specifics sub's like r/MetalGearSolid, r/MetalSlug and r/HalfLife, r/moddergearsolid is a particularly obscure one.

Most of the console modding subs like r/360hacks, r/WiiUHacks which is going dark, r/PS3Homebrew and so on.

From my own feed that's about it, with the exception of some piracy ones like rCemuPiracy r/LinuxCrackSupport and r/SteamDeckPirates, among others. And a couple in particular that push a bit closer to the work unsafe side, so those wouldn't be here.

[–] Infinitybiscuit@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m in for a lost media community.

Here ya go

Not very active but it's a start.

[–] zephyrvs@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

/r/sorceryofthespectacle, /r/theoryofpropaganda, /r/darkgnosis, /r/hermeticism, /r/alternativehistory

[–] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I’d love to see stuff related to linux tech I use and obscure video game discussions. Some of my favs were:

bspwm oxenfree edgerunners

And quite a few others, but those are off the top of my head atm.
