There are several groups on reddit that I have enjoyed, and am going to really miss unless I find some fediverse versions. It's the agony columns, all the ones where people ask for advice. Like r/AITA, and r/RomanticAdvice. There are so many of them.
What are some similar ones in this platform?
Conlangs!
Big city communities. Like Milwaukee (could fit into Midwest social)
Most of these are on Reddit, but there may be a few that I thought could be specific, but not as niche as some of the ones on reddit. (like no community just for one game)
Van conversion/van life
Birding
Camping and hiking
AmITheAsshole
Each state in the US
Longevity
Kindlescribe/e-ink
RestlessLeg (or a chronic condition community)
Woodworking (bigger builds)
Carving (smaller builds, not furniture or big stuff)
Nutrition
NextFuckingLevel
JRPG
Turn-Based RPGs
Action/Adventure Games
/r/FreeGameFindings
malelivingspace, blacksmithing, fishing, hunting, calligraphy, archery, wma, preppersales
+1 r/blacksmithing
Honestly its just my local city subreddit, and the community for my favorite 2nd tier sports team. It has barely enough users even on reddit though, so it probably won't survive with a smaller overall user base.
Iβve setup an instance focused on some niche topics and hobbies, thereβs not much there yet but here they are if anyone wants to check them out:
FFXIV β https://possumpat.io/c/ffxiv
Bugs β https://possumpat.io/c/bugmenagerie
Esports β https://possumpat.io/c/esports
Gundam β https://possumpat.io/c/gundam
Star Trek β https://possumpat.io/c/startrek
Xenoblade β https://possumpat.io/c/xenoblade
r/anarchychess. Where else would I get seventeen unoriginal en passant jokes a day?
I want to see r/conlangs migrating.
It's the only subreddit that I'm still contributing in good faith with. The community is beehaw levels of nice, and the mods are surprisingly competent and decent people, not trashy like the r/linguistics ones.
The only issue with r/conlangs is that it's in Reddit. But if they were to migrate, frankly? I'd be glad to help them out. Perhaps even donate to whatever instance they create.
r/kamenrider, r/supersentai or any of the tokusatsu subs for that matter
r/NixOS
I miss the retro gaming and computing subreddits, and I miss the circlejerk subs, they're comedy gold.
Why is there no /c/TIL ?
r/dmacademy
r/LittleBigAdventure, r/OpenMW, r/RimWorld, r/Thrive, r/adhdmeme, and r/WarAndPeas (whose user has a mastodon account too).
r/vinyl, r/audiophile, r/dankchristianmemes, r/steamdeck, r/neovim, r/bash, r/awk, r/ambientmusic
/r/pencils It's not weird I like pencils!
r/edc and r/pens would be cool too.
r/oneorangebraincell, r/standardissuecat, r/GuiltyGear, r/CuratedTumblr
I really hope /r/xbiking makes its way here! I'm addicted to seeing their creations.
marijuanaenthusiasts, DankVotingReformMemes, designdesign, GlamourBeards, HeavySeas, ididthejobboss, itsslag, mechanical_gifs, Justrolledintotheshop, NeutralPolitics, Unextexted, StraightsBeingOK, StreetArtPorn, Zoomies, wowthissubexists, streetwear, specializedtools, britishproblems, so many!
r/knightsofpineapple r/sbubby r/brandnewsentence r/cyberdeck r/Iteration110Cradle r/functionalprint
I would like to see:
r/NoSleep r/skincareaddiction r/math r/cpp r/python r/gonewildaudio
If anyone is looking, I made !amateur_radio (https://sh.itjust.works/c/amateur_radio).
It's not exactly obvious how to make them, so here's a more clickable link for all instances: amateur_radio
obscuremedia, tipofmytongue, gameboy, consolerepair
Where's all the game developer communities?
r/mademesmile
I want r/aquariums, r/plantedtank, r/walstad, r/[the city I live in], r/[state if live in], r/mylittlepony, r/myilttlehmmmm, r/hmmmm, these are just the ones im missing the most.
