Ideally your answer is a sub that you are currently posting to but few others are posting to.

We’re going to be emulating the original subreddit, but I missed my witchy coven and recently became a mod
Idk about the apps, but on the website a direct link like that takes me to another instance, so I can’t subscribe (without making an account on that instance). If you do the shortlink, it takes everyone to the community via their own instance:
Oh thanks! I just copied what my client gave me
Yay! So glad to have this one over here!
The dragon communities
!dragons@pawb.social
!dragonswithjobs@pawb.social
!imaginarydragons@leminal.space
!wingsoffire@lemmy.worldI’m active on one but not the others, and I have a semblance of a plan.
i used to think dragons were cool before Drag came along
Still are, that dumbstick doesn’t change that
!gamedev@lemmy.world - I took it over several months ago and have tried to regularly share news that is relevant to developers and hobbyists. I think I’ve done an okay job, but it’s still pretty low in search results when you search “gamedev Lemmy”. While posts get a few upvotes, and some comments, almost no one else posts there.
The thing is, I like the Reddit r/gamedev community just fine and still visit it. I just don’t trust Reddit as a company. So this is my way of trying to facilitate a healthy option, and follow the adage of “the grass is greener where you water it”.
So if you’re into video game development and the industry around it, feel free to join!
Just subbed!
Appreciate it; I hope it’s worth your while!
Feel free to promote it on ! communitypromo@lemmy.ca
Done, thanks!

For some reason, very few people interested in cryptocurrency practice what they preach. The people (to me hypocrites) prefer instead to use a closed-source centralized platform to talk about an open-source, decentralized currency. Baffling. The only crypto people that seem to practice what they preach are my monero buds.

It’s a ghost town without my posts.
And so many more that I moderate but refuse to close.
The only community I started that has been successful is EnoughMuskSpam
I’m trying to push a jump in userbase for the tabletop hobby centric communities on LW. I had modded the 40k community for a while, and just took on the tabletop minis community. I post content from blogs I subscribe to and as much of my original content as I can make, but I’d really like to see more growth as an alternative Reddit like space online that isn’t as totally captured by the Games Workshop financial ecosystem.
The art share community has been growing which is great to see but still not as much traffic as it could have.
I took over the dead Star Wars community and have tried to shape it as much as possible towards a place online that actually talks about Star Wars rather than infighting and complaining about other peoples’ taste of Star Wars.
Other spaces here like the airsoft community are pretty dead, though I try as much as possible to post when I can.
There is also the historical US Civil War community. I like history in general, and the U.S. Civil War has become a natural fit for me since in real life I often travel to places where I can go to related historical sites.
The Fallout community has taken off more than most gaming communities but still is pretty niche
Subbed tonthe Civil War forum, thanks for the tip.
Feel free to join us on !fedigrow@lemm.ee
Support groups are something I want to see grow on Lemmy. Anything from abuse, to mental health to chronic illness or addictions. There should also be a way to protect those communities from ableist trolls, a theoretical door so that not just anyone can see the feed. I think it’s important to have that door, because there are people who no matter what you say, they will never have empathy or understanding for people going through those challenges. They will always find a way to convince themselves the person isn’t worthy of empathy or respect. They will try to do harm, and so they should just be blocked out. I’ve sadly already encountered a bit of that on Lemmy.
But I will be honest, I don’t have a plan of action laid out, I’m just throwing it out there. We saw some major platforms become null and unsafe. We should work to reestablish a safe space for folks dealing with those problems. It’s even more important now while we’re going through this breath-takingly crappy year. I myself do not have the skills or energy to moderate one of these groups. It would just be good to work toward having more of those here eventually.
Edit: It would also be cool if we could be more thorough about keeping out troll communities, prevent or discourage them from taking root here. For example fakedisordercringe on Reddit was a vile place. The redpill communities were bad too.
I miss standupcomedy and evilautistm but I’m not running them.
One of my favourite things on Reddit was movie discussions. I’ve joined a bunch of movie communities with !movies@lemm.ee being the most active but I would love if more people were on it!
We’re trying our best
who doesn’t like movies!
Personal finance ones would be nice
Which ones are you in? I like personal finance and am in several on Reddit, but none here.
!personalfinancecanada@lemmy.ca as your on lemmy.ca?

I’m the only poster but don’t want to spam too much and look like a scammer.
Even though I’m probably never gonna contribute, I hope this takes off.
Imma go through and try to post in every one I have relevant knowledge / experience in…
I need to start up a good one for nurses / healthcare workers again on this server (sh has the right vibe for it too) but getting enough people on board for that is always tough. It’s good to have a vent space though because in the nicest way possible 90% of you do not understand hospital ettiquette at ALL (which like, fair, but DAMN).
you know what, I wouldn’t mind a space like that for general healthcare workers or people in the helping professions. I’m in behavioral health but it’s gonna take ages to get that kind of community here. might have to band together under a bigger umbrella. at least we all kinda know what DC d/t NC Bx in f/u UDS means
omg I’m a psych nurse specifically LOL
Imo you just need to set it up so it’s nice and presentable and then do agitprop back in the old country when spez implements another one of his incredible ideas.
High quality gifs
I miss houseplant content
do we have a gardening subreddit? surely they also have some plants indoors
China time, it’s all about bad knockoff watches.
I tried to make /r/asksciencefiction around the time of the API exodus from reddit. It got a bunch of initial traffic and even got the attention of the mods of the actual subreddit but ultimately I guess they decided to stay on reddit rather than encourage people to go to Lemmy. Anyway, the traffic has slowed to basically nothing and I’ve kind of lost interest in moderating it, not that it really needs it anyway since the community is like 20 users per month.
Would it make sense to consolidate with !sciencefiction@lemmy.world ?
asksciencefiction is about fantasy as much as it is about sci-fi, and about other fiction as well. it’s for silly questions like “could Shaggy & Scooby have taken the ring to Mordor?” i would think that would make it a bad fit, but who knows.
After taking a look at that community, not quite since it’s not strictly limited to the science fiction genre. Asksciencefiction is kind of a weird amalgam of subreddits which makes it hard to categorize. Think about the format of the Q&A sub /r/askscience and then tack on /r/fiction. It was more of a roleplaying subreddit than anything. Sometimes there’d be serious discussions, but the best replies were always from people who were roleplaying as people living in the fictional universe.
There is an on-going discussion on !fedigrow@lemm.ee about how we should maybe aim for more generalist communities rather than niche ones.
Maybe the AskScienceFiction niche could fit into the general sciencefiction community. Up to you
that’s the sub i miss the most. is there any hope getting it going again?
