As someone with CPTSD, OCD and Bipolar + psychosis, definetely mental health subs. Particularly suicidewatch.

Ask Historians had so much high quality content and there strict moderating ensured it stayed that wau
Agreed on this, I love AskHistorians and even contributed a few times. I miss it a lot.
Less one that I’m missing, more one that I’d like to see more lively and recognised by other communities outside of Lemmy:
Factorio
As well as a few other games.
It’s a fairly technically minded game, which’d make it a great fit over here. In fact, there is a Factorio Lemmy community, it’s just nowhere near as lively as any Factorio subreddit.
AskLemmyAfterDark - it’s healthy to have a place to have frank discussions about sexual health and safe kinkery.
Niche communities, like one for the specific car I own. Also more car communities in general. I’m so tired of the Fuck Cars mentality here.
On a similar question, has anyone kept track of the lemmy equivalents of every (major) sub Reddit? Is there a community to find other communities?
There was a r/suzukisamurai sub I liked, but I’m probably the only one on lemmy who has one.
r/fountainpens
🙁

r/bjj the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu sub. The community here is pretty dead
To everyone missing a sub: open it on lemmy and be the first!
That just doesn’t work.
There are many subs I wish they were on here and they aren’t even if there is a community called like that, because nobody is there.
Someone starts, others will follow
It really depends on the topic.
I’m really into a niche of a niche subgenre of books. The Reddit community is the best place to find out about new books and hear people talking about them to get a sense if it’s worth your time to read. I used to spend ~5-10 minutes there every day or two to find out about new books.
There just aren’t enough Lemmy users into my favourite sub-subgenre in total, and what really made the Reddit community special was author engagement, which will only happen with thousands of active users. I could put a lot of work into making it, but it’s just not likely to go anywhere and, without authors, won’t be very good anyway.
Hell, even the Parenting community on Beehaw is barely alive, and that’s a huge topic that like a quarter of the population might be interested in, and Beehaw is one of the biggest Lemmy instances.
So… maybe? For mainstream topics, sure, but niche subreddits needed a unique intersection of conditions to thrive, which Lemmy can’t (yet) replicate.
How do you create a sub?
You click on ‘Create Community’ in the top bar
Writingprompts.
Lots of high quality written content there.
Same, I have contributed to that subreddit for years on multiple Reddit accounts, I love reading and writing short stories with a prompt.
I’ve wanted to open a string of video game subs on lemmy but i don’t know what instance is best. It would have to be something that is ok with occasional porn and bad words (but not bigotry).
AmITheAsshole. There’s a few but they’re all bots that repost Reddit content. No original ones that I’ve seen so far
The Genshin fandom is much weaker here. I miss the endless *Mains communities with their useful guides, and the remarkable thirst of some of the groups :cough: /r/GenshinGays :cough:
The humorous mental health subs. League of Legends (outside of pro league stuff).
There’s an ADHD memes sub:
I wish the Framework community had moved over wholly. There’s a lot more activity on Reddit than on Lemmy, and the comments are important, so the lemmit online bot can’t replace it.
r/ElectroBOOM which is Mehdi’s official subreddit.
