More women-oriented communities would be great. Skincare, makeup, women's fitness, female health, nail polish, aging. I'd love that.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Agree! I'd love to see more discussion around female health, not necessarily constructive but just bants about the 'gross' stuff, memes and complaints and stuff. The issue is that I'm a comment contributor more than a poster, as much as I try. So as much as I'd like to Be The Change, it really has to come from a lot of us posting and interacting.

We don't have enough Linux discussion
Did you forget the /s?
All of the individual games I play and not just the general "gaming" subs. Plenty of video game enthusiasts on Lemmy; not enough to geek out over specific games. Or at least... Not the ones I play.

SpeedofLobster! A good lobster always cracked me up.
/r/liberalgunowners was a favorite. Everyone was so nice and accepting. We'd answer the same noob questions all day, no problem. None of "MuH 2A!" crap, nobody bloodthirsty. Anyway, I could go on, but it was nice while it lasted.
That seems like a really important community to have here
[email protected] It's still fairly new but a post on there also links to related lemmy communities

Writing Promts was cool
and the camouflage community (I may be very biased lol)
Writing Prompts was cool
Well, you're in luck!
They just started reopening the community, so hopefully more people will participate.

A community for the car I own, no matter what it is. (With thousands of active members, of course.)

There's [email protected], but it's been dead for a while. I kinda miss reading those stories about assholes getting what they asked for.
Another that was fun reading occasionally was scambait, where people would fuck with scammers to waste as much of their time as possible. I don't know if there's anything like that on Lemmy.
Reddit had a few really good and active lifting communities. There were interesting program reviews, sometimes everyone would run super squats together and report on the various effects of drinking a gallon of whole milk per day on the digestive tract. And I could help others join in and start lifting themselves into their best selves, since not many people in my real life circle are interested
You could try creating a lifting community on Lemmy, no? Who knows, maybe it would pick up?

I wouldn't mind some of the Random Acts to come over and be more active. Even though I never used it, I always thought the idea of the Random Acts of Pizza was a grand idea for those who are in need.

I want lostmedia and unsolvermysteries communities to exist and be more active.

The small niche communities are the ones I'll probably never see again, like /r/reverseanimalrescue /r/TheNightFeeling /r/darknetplan

Model railroading. Even on Reddit those subs weren't super active, but they at least existed.
Magic the Gathering. There's actually 3 here already, but somehow none of them really scratch the itch to just talk about deckbuilding. And again, the 3 that are here are fairly quiet. Just doesn't seem to be the critical mass needed.
DankChristianMemes. Was just fantastic. Perhaps the best 'neutral' ground I ever saw for Christians & Atheists to laugh at themselves & each other.

R/raisedbynarcissists for sure.
Posts like that are welcome at [email protected] we're a women's only community for all things women. I'm making it a supportive and inclusive community
Communities for identifying random stuff! Rocks, plants, bugs, fossils, that weird thingy in your grandma's kitchen... I love lurking on them because I learn to notice more in my day-to-day life. The downside is that they need more active moderation to weed out wrong or unhelpful comments.
And on a related note, communities for admiring natural stuff, à la mineralporn.
Psychonaut, DPH, heavymind, weirddalle, mspaint. All were once hidden gems of Reddit
Between you and the person who wants jam band content, yes, slowly but surely my people are coming.

Parent/Trying for pregnancy/pregnancy.
I found the pregnancy conversations on Reddit (while I was on Reddit is fun) to be much less toxic than on those discussion forums on pregnancy apps.

I really miss bpt sometimes. Can't stand to be on actual twitter, but reddit wasn't so awful a medium to discuss highlights when I was still on the platform.
modernquilts / modernquilting, I used to look in that R and ppl shared progress pictures and finished modern quilts. Was a great source of inspiration. #modernquilts on fedi/pixelfed is quite empty unfortunately
We'd love to see your quilt at [email protected] we're trying to fill the female void on lemmy.
will check it out, thanks!
Sometimes I struggle with writing prompts for AI and I don't understand why it is not doing what I want. I wish there was a active community for helping with that.
For example I wanted it to go through this post https://piefed.jeena.net/post/125521 and list all the movies mentioned and augment them with the release date, director and genre. But it already fails at just finding the movies mentioned. I thought this is a perfect thing to do for AI which I can do easily manually but it just takes time, but nope.

Jambands/Grateful Dead type stuff.
Yes I know there are groups out there, but no one is extremely active. I'll give it time: Weir Everywhere
It's not dedicated to it, but I'm certain many of your favourite tracks would be welcome over at [email protected]
Please.
I am begging you.
I know only psych-rock and I want so much more
