Personally i’m looking forward to seeing twobestfriendsplay, arkhamasylum, whowouldwin, and respectthreads, on here.
Waiting on r/linuxmasterrace tbh
If any sub can truly 100% move over it’d be one of the Linux subs, maybe then they’ll stop posting memes about how they’re posting memes on a closed source platform
Linux gaming already has 3k subs
Fair point, that’s probably most of the subreddit already cries in low market share
Maybe they’ll also find a different joke than “arch btw.”
Agreed. The irony is strong there lol
r/woodworking would be nice.
I agree! Maybe a few maker communities (or a single maker community with tags)
Oh boy , it will be fun when 2westerneuropean4you gets here
Absolutely
also let’s not forget 2balkan4you
Yeeeees!
Big anime titties, medium anime titties, banned in Australia anime titties, and monster girls.
So basically the entire hentai part of reddit. (agreed)
Even the mostly-SFW art collections such as r/ImaginaryCharacters and the rest of the Imaginary Network will be missed. What would it take to steal the top 500 posts from each to kickstart art collectionns on Lemmy?
r/outside. That place is such a needed mental break.
@OhSnapKracklePopped Lmao I really need that
Oh shit, am I a niche communities redditor already feeling anxious about losing all my anonymous internet peeps.
r/vxjunkies - Although that sub is most fun when randos stumble onto it and get confused. Which might not work as well in Federation world.
r/worldbuilding, r/loremasters
r/TolkeinFans. Discussing the legendarium on a scholarly level.
r/nsfwworldbuilding (which is a great place for thoughtful, mature, intellectual conversations about really creative ideas like quantum pregnancy and all male Orc societies … and THEN pictures of nude bee women leaking honey from their boobs).
r/magicthecirclejerking, r/linuxcirclejerk, r/whowouldcirclejerk - these subs are my go to “I need to laugh” subs.
r/AskHistorians. What can replace this awesomeness… like ever?
r/ShermanPosting. Make this angry leftist feel like a burning patriot.
r/LateStageCapitalism. I need my angry leftist anticap memes.
r/StableDiffusion
r/Swahili? It’s a beautiful language.
r/ImaginaryDerelicts… Here is a hauntingly beautiful rabbit hole for you to fall down.
r/PrintSF… it’s literally how I find new books to rea…listen to. I consume audiobooks at a terrifying rate.
r/Podcasts because see above.
r/Qubes. I like my linux like I like my lovers, paranoid and with DID.
r/HomeNetworking
r/AskNetSec and r/OpSec
r/FifthWorldProblems and it’s multiverse of affiliates, including r/MadMudMen and r/EnglightenedBirdMen
r/Daddit. I posted my “Here we are at a playground for the first time” pictures 12 years ago… I was looking forward to reposting those alongside the graduation pictures in 4 years.
r/WitchesVsPatriarchy. Yes, I’m a cishet white man, fuck the patriarchy and fuck toxic masculinity.
r/ChaoticGood. This sub makes me happy.
Is there seriously no r/WhoWoulWin equivalent? That boggles me.
We also REALLY need something like r/findareddit, if there isn’t such a thing yet.
Have found NonCredibleDefense.
There are a few pages available that list communities and instances. These are good:
- midwest.social/c/communities
- browse.feddit.de
r/worldbuilding
we have that here https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] you can search communities using this link https://lemmy.ml/communities
now the only problem bring people to using lemmy
Since I posted this I’ve found that and some of the others. But man… I’m gonna miss VX Junkies.
i will miss noncredibledefence, stellaris and buttcoin too if reddit drop free api for third-party apps. and i also dont think people on that sub care about reddit drama currently
Finding out about new podcasts is something I’ll really miss about Reddit. I feel like that’s not even that niche/small, surely one will pop up soon!
some of the more or less interesting ones i came across…
r/InternetIsBeautiful r/AlpineLinux r/CoOpGaming r/antiXLinux r/devuan r/gamedeals r/privacyhardware r/opensourcegames r/FreeGaming r/fossdroid r/linux4noobs r/commandline r/channelsofyoutube r/DeepIntoYouTube r/ChannelWatch r/EatCheapAndHealthy r/Foodforthought r/initFreedom r/irc r/KeepOurNetFree r/linux_devices r/suckless r/techsupport r/unknownvideos r/usenet r/youtubeclassics r/suggestmeabook r/thinkpad r/DistroTube r/odysee r/lbry r/peertube r/FOSSPhotography r/DepthHub r/TrueFilm r/socialscience r/AskSocialScience r/UpliftingNews r/LinuxPhones r/startpages r/terminal_porn r/nodrm r/Antifeatures r/FreeAudio r/listentothis (separated by genre)
I’ve found some of them:
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.
I subscribed to /c/gamedeals and /c/[email protected] the other day!
(Not 100% if I’ve linked those up right)
[email protected] and [email protected] would be the “proper” way to link AFAIK
r/liveaudio r/mixingandmastering r/bitwig r/ableton r/ethereum
all of the Linux subreddits I browse + r/selfhosted, r/homelab, r/datahoarder.
all of these seem like easy fits for the fediverse.
There are already similar communities for the last three ones:
Not that they are the only ones, but the ones I’ve seen.
Try out lemmy.studio
You may need to setup a community or two though.
r/piracy
r/electronics
r/rce
r/diy
r/diyaudio
r/diwhy
r/edm
r/edmproduction
r/angryupvote
r/masterhacker
r/mathmemes
r/sciencememes
r/physicsmemes
r/chemsitrymemes
r/bilogymemes
r/onejob
r/outoftheloop
r/printers
r/redneckengineering
r/torrents
r/tvtoohigh
r/winehq
r/youtubedl
r/weird
Non ironically, r/fossdroid would easily find a way into the fediverse
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.

r/yurimemesThis 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.
I’m really hoping for some quality archaeology/anthropology/history content as well, I started [email protected] for a kind of catch-all community (and yes, that’s the best name I could come up with)
Actually a few, but to list some
r/PublicDomainr/MirrorsEdgeAesthetics
r/MovieSuggestionsr/LostMediarMediumReadingsr/RockinTheClassicsr/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.
- selfhosted
A couple of my hobbies that I’ve seen barely getting started here… photography and mycology. There’s a lot to explore in both without getting wrapped up in religion or politics.
mander.xyz is an instance with a bunch of science based communities, and they have a mycology one.
I’m actually subscribed to [email protected], it’s the only community I’ve found so far. However it sounds like I need to check out the other communities at mander.xyz to see what they offer!
