For me it’s been communities like /r/buildapc, /r/buildapcforme, /r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, and /r/consoledeals have been useful throughout the years.

Hello fellow ex-tildes user, I hope you find this place more welcoming and less STEM focused 😀

might have also been from Reddit, I’m an old bunny by this point ☠

In that case, glad you found your way over here. My experiences on Tildes were important learning opportunities for me. I realized how much discussions for a community to interact with itself were a necessary part of keeping communities healthy

Same reason I stopped using Tildes lol. I liked many of the things Tildes brought to the table… but ultimately, it didn’t really offer anything different from Reddit
Crafting communities! I love seeing what people make in r/crochet and r/Brochet and they also tend to have really welcoming and kind users :)
Beehaw’s “creative” community fits that description and looks pretty active:
https://beehaw.org/c/creativeI love those type of places. And the wikis people create have been so helpful when trying to start a new hobby.
I would love to see something like r/AskHistorians. It’s my favorite sub by far, and something I have really seen anywhere else. It’s heavily moderated (in a good way), and the answers are all high quality and sourced. It’s pretty much why I held on to my reddit account as long as I have.
Definitely a good one.
Once I get back home next week I am going to start my own server for paganism/heathenry/animism
Let me know when you set it up, Îd love to join.
Saving your comment so I remember :)

Ooo this is a good question. There was a similar thread about Lemmy as a whole, but Beehaw has a bit different standards…
Honestly, maybe a retro technology community? Set to include both retro gaming and other aspects like retro computing and the like. I’m sure one could use the current tech community for this, but I think setting aside a retro version could be beneficial
For me it’s
- /r/selfhosted
- /r/home server
- /r/3dprinting
There is a selfhosted instance on lemmy.ml :)
I’ll second a 3D printing community! The ones on reddit really helped me a lot when I was starting out with resin printing and nothing worked lol. I feel like without someone to explain how I should be tuning my FEP (and even that I should doing that in the first place) I may have gotten discouraged and just let my printer collect dust
I am a Dark Souls addict and when I quit Reddit for good on July 1st, those are the subs I’ll really miss most. I’m also a history teacher and adjunct and really will suffer without /r/AskHistorians.
Oh, r/askhistorians is precious.
Maybe a History community on here would be nice, at least, until there are enough folks for more specific spots.

It sounds like a decent Lemmy community as a whole, allowing those professionals a lot of control over how questions work and such while still allowing pretty good visibility? I’m not totally familiar with how federating works yet so that might not work as wellw as I’m thinking.

Absolutely, I know that any time questions on my field of expertise has popped up on reddit I can be fairly hesitant to share just knowing the amount of effort it would take to answer in a way that feels appropriate combined with the fact that you’ll get contrarians popping out of every corner to claim their pop science interpretations are in-fact correct. I can’t imagine trying to do that when it comes to something like history, which I personally think is going to have a much higher minimum involvement in general due to the very political nature of much of it.
I’d really like to see a photography community pop up. Not necessarily a /fujifilm /leica community, but a general photography place for folks to share their snaps, and get advice about techniques and gear.
There’s one on Lemmy.

If the userbase gets bigger a dedicated Tech Support would be nice to see so tech help posts don’t get lost in the shuffle.
/r/games for me. I really like keeping tabs on gaming news.
Something social, and positive. Like r/roastme had a opposite one called r/toastme. Rather then burn and roast OP, you gave them compliments. It was a positive thing to see.
Oh yes please. Cheering people on, giving them a new lens in which to view themselves, or just a moment of attention all for themselves, brings me joy. Good suggestion. What would it take to make it?
Well, come to think of it. I guess we are making it right now. Just being here and being kind to what people share, and enjoying the moment of conversation.
Yes. I also liked the CongratsLikeImFive sub.
r/ImSorryJon
Eldritch horror Garfield is essential to any online community.
You’re joking but currently a discord I’m in has a cult over a specific Garfield Minus Garfield comic, a cult that got genuinely rowdy when the comic stopped being posted.
All I’m saying, Garfield is probably an elder god
Which specific GmG comic is so powerful that it would inspire a cult?
I’m probably only half joking. I love when people just do weird shit for the hell of it, it reminds me of the early internet. People doodling horrific Garfield content is weirdly wholesome and just makes me happy.
Perhaps a community for people over 50. (Asking for a friend. Honestly.)
/r/guitar, for those of use who struggle (and suck) at self-learning this amazing instrument.
A “Frets” community would be great, for all the fretted instruments to hang out.
Edit: !guitars@lemmy.world brand spankin’ new
well well well if it isn’t a spot to post pictures of my butterscotch telecaster. 😉 Kidding aside, I came here to say this too!!
If you find them interesting try setting one up! Id be sure to follow as i also have enjoyed those communities!
