I suspect most people aren’t subbing/following communities on Lemmy. So post the community or topic you want to see pop off. And reader(that’s you) if you are interested in that community click the link and follow it.

👏Let’s 👏 start 👏 coordinating 👏 people.

    Not one community specifically, but I really wish that communities about sports - specifically American football - were more active. I really miss that from the other place.

            How does liking gridiron football equate to believing the US is exemplary or better than other nations? Or maybe you think the definition of American exceptionalism is, “Likes something American”. Calling people dumb because you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about isn’t a good look.

              Saying you want sports communities then hyper-focusing on American sports is exceptionalism.

              There is a small percentage of the Lemmy population that is American, the great majority is European.

              No one here cares for American football or the NFL. So why create a community? Because they think we care. Simple as. It’s believing that Americans are at the centre of the universe once again 🙄.

                I assume you aren’t engaging in good faith dialog here, given the immediate reach for disparaging remarks, but on the off chance you are, let me ask you this. If you asked somebody what their favorite whisky was, and they replied “Laphroaig”, would that be a sign of Scottish nationalism or exceptionalism? Or if you asked their favorite cheese, and they gave “Gouda”, a sign of Dutch exceptionalism?

                Just because one’s answer to “What community would you like to see more active…” is something that is from the US, this is not American Exceptionalism. The question wasn’t, “What community do you think every Lemmy user should be required to participate in?” Nor was is, “What community is the best and most important on Lemmy?”

                Clearly, at least one person here cares about it. Clearly that person isn’t you. Everything you have written here is incorrect, and if you had any shame, you’d be embarrassed to have said it in public.

    I 👏 want 👏 more 👏 girl 👏 content 👏

    To be clear - I am talking about stereotypically “female” subjects, not about the gender itself, and I hope it goes without saying that I want people of all genders to be part of it. Some topics over on reddit are full of guys, NBs, and everyone else, but are what a bigoted 90s teacher would call “female” topics. I want more stuff of what that 90s teacher would call “girly” stuff.

    I mean, something like a makeup community. Maybe skincare and fashion. Cleaning tips. Pre and post and peri pregnancy content. The parenting community on lemmy is super quiet. There is a sewing community but it is rather quiet too. I haven’t found a mending focused community yet. Boy there even isn’t a sailor moon community, like 😭 come on

    I’m horrible in creating any content tho, so uhm, not sure I should be complaining.

    I’d like to see a community for cool stuff happening in NYC.

    I’d like to see more stuff for organizing protests and resistance, also for the NYC area.

      I’m mildly proud of the fact that the Mini Apple has a more active community than the Big Apple, lol.

      !MSP@midwest.social, and I’m like half of that activity and it’s pretty dead. Make it, post, and maybe you’ll have more luck, but local communities are tough given the small userbase.

      (We also have a Democratic Socialist running for mayor, good luck to both Mamdani and Fateh!)

        I think a lot of people got really mad at some admin or moderator at midwest.social and hence a lot of people moved off it. Can’t recall why though

    Music theory and conlangs. There are several conlang communities - but they’re all on life support (or worse).

        CONstructed LANGuages. Languages built/created by a person or team of people, as opposed to a language that evolves naturally. Some famous conlangs are Esperanto, Toki Pona and Klingon.

    Liberal gun owners. (Don’t know how to link properly.)

    https://old.lemmy.world/c/liberalgunowners

    Such a great reddit community, or used to be. No toxic right-wing shit, just people showing off their builds and buys, asking questions, getting solid advice with no bullshit, talking laws and legal repercussions, linking timely news, loads of trans people posting. No judging! A new person could come in with the same damned question we’d covered 500 times. No problem! We’d all jump in and help.

    Fuck I miss that place. It’s dead here. Also, I think there are a few people that go in there solely to downvote. Don’t know how to check logs, not interested enough to try, but it looks like assholes are trying to spoil it.

    And FFS, NOW is the time left-minded Americans should be getting armed! Blacks, LGBTs and women have been the largest gun buying demographic for several years. They need help and they need a judgement free space to get it.

        You’ll probably see it there, but there are only a few people who will persistently try to grow a community, week after week.

        Reading the comments here, it seems like a lot of people would like their niche community to be active, but we have to acknowledge that with our current userbase, more general communities are already struggling to stay active, so niche ones are even harder.

        Example: !movies@piefed.social is kept up active by less than 5 active posters, and that’s a generic community about movies.

        !cooking@lemmy.world is probably good enough for all types of cooking, you get the idea.

    When I first stumbled into Lemmy I kinda gravitated to the medical communities, but from day one they’ve all been pretty dead. Just added a couple more subs now prompted by this thread to see if there was an active one. Here’s what I’ve got in my collection:

    !Surgical@lemm.ee

    !medicine@lemm.ee

    !medicine@lemmy.world

    !medicine@mander.xyz

    !medical_professionals@midwest.social

    !medicine@lemmy.ml

    !health@lemmy.world

    !healthcareworkers@lemmy.ml

    !nurses@lemmy.world

    !nursing@lemmy.world

    !NursingMatters@kbin.social

    !nursingresearch@chirp.social

    …sorted all of them by Top: Month, and there are a grand total of maybe 20 posts spread over only three of the communities. One of those three only showed a single post; and a pretty even split on the remaining two. The rest of them were empty. It’s spread way too thin: I’ve only run into a few other medical peeps here on Lemmy - we don’t have 12 communities worth of material.

    I kinda wish we’d merge them… which I know goes against the grain of how the fediverse is supposed to operate.

    !medicine@mander.xyz and !health@lemmy.world were the two most active ones. Mander.xyz seems like a better home for medical talk, but the rules in the sidebar are far too strict for a community this size. !health@lemmy.world seems the best at the moment.

    …and I’m 100% part of the problem I’m whining about. Outside of a couple introduction posts and questions for the community, I haven’t posted anything there either. I should.

    I used to be a big fan of videogame subs, it doesn’t seem like there are many communities here focused on specific games.

    Minecraft and rimworld had some great community content.

    !lightnovels@ani.social

    I think we need to get away from the short format brain rot media that is so popular today, like TikTok and Twitter/X. And light novels are familiar and approachable. Often, people have already seen the anime or seen the manga.

    For that matter, even !manga@ani.social could use more activity, and manga is even more approachable than light novels.

    I recently started reading a lot of the LNs that are on “catch up” at a website called j-novel club, and it’s gotten me to enjoy reading novels more.

    Also, the Ascendance of a Bookworm light novel is one of my favorite things I’ve ever read. It’s a pretty long one at 33 volumes, though.

    The dropout community would be nice to circle jerk with. But I really miss my knock off cheap Chinese fake watch sub. I tried to post to it here but my post got deleted and the sublemmy shut down soon after.

      The new Jakob ep of gamechanger was a good time. That being said, I also don’t appreciate how they pushed a player(jess?) to tears(happy tears) in her emotional episode in a way earlier season. Weird lil grey zone I haven’t seen explored elsewhere.

      I’m very conflicted. But I keep watching.
