Your favorite movie, series, or anything else really that you can’t find a community here (or maybe it just doesn’t exist)
TV, movie and book discussion communities aren’t very active around here.
Research paper reading groups.
You’re welcome to post about papers and discuss them over in !general@lemmy.world to try to get this going for more specific communities!
Like in general or regarding specific topics?
Initially in general, but if there was enough interest breaking into specific topics would be nice to
What’s your domain?
Math, electronics, algorithms, and chemistry are interesting to me
As a bonus behavioral economics
Algorithms sound interesting to me from a research paper perspective. Im a little intimated by the others.
Is this like a book club but for research papers?
yup!
Sounds like a good way to gain higher level reading literacy
Do you know of any other sites that have this? Sounds awesome
A lab work group, like that one on Reddit. I cannot remember the name and I sure as hell will not go to that damned site, but it was basically full of graduate students and technicians that shared stories from their labs.
The labrats subreddit was kinda fun. I’m a chemist, but the chemistry subreddit was overwhelmed by people asking for homework advice, showing off bad caffeine tattoos, and getting upset when they couldn’t talk about drugs or explosives.
I miss the nonsexual nudes groups from Reddit, Normalnudes and NakedProgress.
Also wish the curly hair group here was active.
It’s ok though, trading off for the smaller community here, it’s still better.
I miss weird niche creative silly roleplay reddits like
r/vxjunkies
r/enlightenedbirdmen / r/madmudmen
r/earth999
r/nsfwworldbuilding - mostly bees with boobs
These random communities is something I wish picks up when the lemmyverse grows.
r/WindTunnelZebraBDSM
TL;DR shitpost sub created alongside r/BirthofaSub
Oh, and r/BlackMagicFuckery and r/BlackSmithFuckery
AskHistory or something similar.
A history subreddit would be nice to see. It genuinely brings joy to my face to learn some interesting facts about the middle-ages. And overwhelming amount of Lemmy users need reminding of what happened in Cambodia in the late 70s.
Hopefully not as a bunch of really good question posts full of mod-deleted answers.
Hopefully, that aspect was awful.
Agreed. At the moment I get most of my history content from following @PugJesus
Bicycle communities
!bicycles@lemmy.ca isn’t super-high volume, but it’s definitely not inactive. It gets a post every other day or so, and there’s discussion on those posts.
I feel like the real problem is where there aren’t enough people to even have a conversation. Once you’ve got people there, then just posting more isn’t that hard.
Micromobility is pretty active if you’re interested in product coverage and news. As for more organic content, it’s pretty infrequent in any of the existing bicycle communities ☹️
Cyberpunk RED TTRPG community.
Shadowrun TTRPG community.
Polandball.
A community for my home town.
A Canadian politics and current affairs community.
A community for some of the podcasts I listen to would be nice.
We have a few of those here, but they aren’t too active and they have a pretty narrow Overton window (ie, I tend to agree with most posts and comments).
I tried posting that kind of stuff. It was thankless. Nobody else started posting. I gave up.
Nonsexual/therapeutic manual therapy/massage/bodywork page with research, techniques, theory, etc. anytime I try to find one, I only get porn ones.
Shitpostcrusaders
Pinball machines and Arcade games. I can’t say I would be the backbone of such a group, but I would enjoy reading the posts from one.
More Star Trek and Linux communities. “I’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is more [Star Trek and Linux communities]!”
I second the Star Trek community
!petrats@lemmy.world needs more users - not enough mischief going on here
r/HobbyDrama
Daria, Entwives, and Tamagotchi come to mind. And maybe games like Caves of Qud or Project Zomboid.
Still follow those and a few other subreddits via RSS. Wish more communities would’ve switched to Lemmy. :(
simracing
There are some communities, but they are not very active.
