Just curious. I miss mainly language stuff, some video game communities (like RoN, KCD) and some local communities like for Arabs (tbf those were always cesspits but I miss talking to other Arabs on Lemmy)
I’ll try to be the change I want to see. How about you?

There are some great communities of obsessive hobbyists here like !Selfhosted@lemmy.world, and if you throw a brick in any direction you’ll hit two Linux nerds, but reddit has /r/sysadmin and other infosec groups that have large numbers of industry professionals - and no amount of enthusiasm can substitute for real-world experience. I miss the conversation from people who spend time writing system security plans, reading NIST documentation for guidance, thinking about remote management for networks that support thousands of end users, and who have to actually deal with the cybersecurity incidents that get reported in the news.
You can contact L3s, the mod of !sysadmin@lemmy.world and ask to become a mod since the rest are completely inactive. Though i don’t know how you’d be able to consistently post nor the content that was on there, since i’m not a sysadmin :)
You can’t produce an actual community by wanting it, or by forcing it. Only time, and the effort of many people, can bring it into existence. It was a long time before reddit attracted professional communities. It will be a long time before it happens here, if ever.
Of course, but i was talking about you helping it be more active. Personally there were two pretty inactive communities i liked, that i had helped revive. It wasn’t just me of course and it was hard but it’s possible. Just a thought though.
There is a Saudi community on Lemmy as it just popped up in my feed.
All arab related communities are modded by the same person, panarab and he’s a PTB, so… (Also an asshole in general so i’d steer clear)
I think of running a saudi/arab community here on lemmy but i think it may be too tiring, especially since i’m one of the more westernized arabs (despite not living in the west lol)
and he’s a PTB
He’s a public test build?
Power tripping bastard, !yepowertrippingbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com :)
Ah, of course, that makes much more sense.
Tbf, most I use especially since I started ignoring news and politics… Chinese, Buddhism, art, yoga, poetry etc. Local city subreddit. Everything “humanities” is sparsely populated here even though I try my best to get the ball rolling. I still use reddit for some of this.
Thank you for your posts on !imaginary@reddthat.com !
We have !fedigrow@lemm.ee to discuss community growing and posting
Thanks to you too for your hard work :) Already joined !fedigrow@lemm.ee!
One for my model of car. One for native plants in my area
Are !nativeplantgardening@mander.xyz or !nativeplantgardening@sh.itjust.works too broad?
Native plants doesn’t mean much if it just means native to the US. Theres a lot of weird stuff in CA, TX, and other regions found nowhere else, and a lot fewer plants that are found across regions. Ideally we’d have the users to have discussion about specifically CA-native plants but I’m not that passionate or knowledgeable enough to lead that effort.
True, in this case, it would actually be beneficial to eventually have multiple communities based on region, e.g. !nativeplants@feddit.uk, !nativeplants@lemmy.nz, !nativeplants@lemmy.ca, etc.
Not sure if Lemmy quite has the numbers for that yet, though. Thoughts?
Tagging @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com
I would probably put everything in the same community at first, then split when userbase is sufficient
The second one should probably closed
I think Polandball has never really taken off here, same with Lego :/
C’est tragique. I never spent much around polandball, compball or that stuff but it was kinda nice seeing them every once in a while (even if i didn’t get them lmao) but the fact there is no lego community is insane.
The Polandball community on Reddit is really focused on the creators I don’t see them moving anywhere soon :(
There actually is a lego community !Lego@lemmy.world but it’s very slow with roughly 1 post per week. Certainly doesn’t scratch the itch
I just started posting to !lego@lemm.ee yesterday, feel free to join!
3d communities like blender, vfx were active, I was getting back into webdesign (for local businesses freelancing) so wordpress was interesting (for the drama not helpful lol), comicbooks was wayyy more active there (I stopped reading when reddit permabanned me, i liked discussing with the ppl reccomending me stuff), fantasy for books, all the drug related ones, rave related ones, nootropics, supplements, etc. Adhd and adhdmemes there was good, thats okay here.
Bit on the niche side but some relating to posting cute animal pics or some more hyper specific niche ones for some games. I actually run a few on Lemmy but real life issues alongside less activity overall means I’m lookin for some mods on that end.

I saw your post on comm_revival before this comment, aint this the truth. I miss some of these communities. For cute pics there are !superbowl@lemmy.world by the way.
Feel free to advertise some of your communities on !comm_revival@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
Investment or stock communities.
Personally I’m boring and just invest in broad market indices, but I still enjoyed the discussions.
I miss tankporn, there aren’t enough images of vehicles that can kill me in my Lemmy feed.
Crazyfuckingvideos (especially since I was one of the first posters there), Reeftank, Bookcirclejerk, Playboicarti, Gardening, Photography
Yeah, they’re just not nearly as big.
Indeed, there’s only so much activity you can expect from 47k monthly active users
r/collapse
Full of the most pessimistic possible interpretation of climate change events and news possible.
It’s here too, but quite dead.

One might even say that it… collapsed.
Lol
I miss there being a lot more Swedes around in the Swedish community. There’s >100k+ on Reddit, !sweden@lemmy.world has far less active users and a large chunk of the posts are from me.
I feel like it’s quite common for smaller countries to be honest. What is the stance of the subreddit mods about promoting it? I’ve had bad experiences in the past about trying to promote Lemmy on geodefault subs.
every single sub for media/franchises i’m a fan of and 3d software
-
Niche committees for random movies, TV shows, games, or whatever form of entertainment. It was pretty cool having communities for The Crow, Hellraiser, iZombie, Xena, Due South (who here even knows Due South?) and basically just whatever the hell you can think of. Even specific bands, to throw music into the entertainment mix.
-
Fashion based communities like Alt Fashion, Goth Fashion etc. I think communities like that would thrive here because NSFW is kept pretty much separate from most instances, so it would help keep away the porn brain commenters and OnlyFans bots. Also things like hair and skincare style communities. You could find really niche shit like even communities for advice specific to hooded eyes.
-
Feminist slanted communities with active discussion. There are a couple of communities where probably the moderators are keeping the lights on by posting articles occasionally but beyond that, they’re ghost towns. I’m honestly surprised that more people from these sorts of online communities haven’t come here yet because Reddit in general likes to “both sides” this kind of conversation. While it seems generally more acceptable here to get off the fucking fence and walk around on the left hand side.

There was a sub i think called r/daily3d that offered a daily prompt for users to create in 3d modeling software like blender. It became inactive years ago when the moderator who offered the prompts stepped down and set up a bot to come up with it instead. It was never huge, usually 10 entries a day at its peak, but that was a fun sub to check in on every so often. Some users were really good, and before the bot took over, the mod offered prompts that encouraged user interpretation and creativity.
