Personally i’m looking forward to seeing twobestfriendsplay, arkhamasylum, whowouldwin, and respectthreads, on here.
Big city communities. Like Milwaukee (could fit into Midwest social)
r/vinyl, r/audiophile, r/dankchristianmemes, r/steamdeck, r/neovim, r/bash, r/awk, r/ambientmusic
Where’s all the game developer communities?
Cats! Where are the cats?
I’m currently on !cats@midwestern.social
that was the nearest thing to cat stuff, I’ve foundAnd iligally smol cats, one orange brain cells, earplain ears and etc.
I was going to say /r/ExperiencedDevs, but it looks like they made an official instance at programming.dev. So that’s pretty great.
Most of these are on Reddit, but there may be a few that I thought could be specific, but not as niche as some of the ones on reddit. (like no community just for one game)
Van conversion/van life
Birding
Camping and hiking
AmITheAsshole
Each state in the US
Longevity
Kindlescribe/e-ink
RestlessLeg (or a chronic condition community)
Woodworking (bigger builds)
Carving (smaller builds, not furniture or big stuff)
Nutrition
NextFuckingLevel
JRPG
Turn-Based RPGs
Action/Adventure Games
I’m a full time RVer, I’m also interested in a vanlife/rvlife community.
A lot of these aren’t exactly “niche”, but afaik none of them exist on lemmy yet
Edit: for some reason, a bunch of these that actually do exist weren’t showing up in search unless I specifically searched for “!community@instance”. I’ve gone back through and added links to them here.

r/yurimemes!actuallesbians exists as does !talesfromretail. Though they might need to be searched for on your instance before they’re federated.
- Wow, wownoob, and other game specific subreddits.
- Star Trek, Star Wars, and other sci-fi movie/show related subreddits
- NFL team and other sports related subreddits
- Fantasy Football
Fantasy football is a big one for me too
Yep. I couldn’t survive without /r/ff

NFL
Dallas Cowboys
90’s Alternative Music
/r/FreeGameFindings
I’m new to the whole fediverse thing, but - if you’ve got an interest in a specific, uh… Sub? Fed? Community? Why not create one yourself?
Because then I have to moderate it :/
Well when a community is small, there’s pretty much no moderation involved most of the time. I started a few subs on reddit, I never had much to do when the subscriber count was below the hundreds.
Once it gets sufficiently large, there will be people willing to mod.
Weird ones like the ones about the letter wars, eg r/theLetterH
And generally communities about movies and tv shows, eg dedicated series subreddits
/r/talesfromtechsupport /r/maliciouscompliance and /r/prorevenge always give me a chuckle.
I’m hoping that some of the writing and image sharing subreddits make their way on here. Specifically: r/AbandonedPorn/, r/AccidentalRenaissance/, r/ImaginarySliceOfLife/, and r/LetsNotMeet/
I will really miss the imaginary network (slice of life, garden, interiors, etc).
The whole imaginary network is gorgeous. I wonder if we could convince them to work here as well.
MLB, NFL, NBA, etc. communities
