Particularly one that you personally would like to post/comment in on a regular basis
You must log in or # to comment.
It doesn’t work that way, sadly. Successful niche communities split off from bigger ones after there is enough shared interest to make the split necessary. Creating a new empty community from nowhere will likely result in its staying empty. That is the state of many niche communities we already have.
Everybody is obsessed with with copying Reddit here.
Nobody wants to put in the work to build it organically like Reddit was, they just want to press a button and have a bot “seed” content until poof! There’s a community!
It just doesn’t, and won’t ever, work that way.
I don’t necessarily disagree, but Reddit wasn’t all OC at the start, either.
I guess now there are so many social media sites now that some people spend all their time, to paraphrase Cory Doctorow, cross-posting between 5 sites for Internet points or to build a following. It sucks, but plugging away posting OC will build it up over time.
Did I say anything about OC?
Sorry, I assumed you had a point beyond “Reddit bad!” My mistake.
i did, but based on your comment history i am not too surprised it missed you.
Either devoid of posts or full of reposts from other communities with empty comment sections

we’re too dysfunctional to participate. sorry.
JK. I will go over there and join. But what would we even talk about? All the strange bizarre day-to-day decisions we make that are rooted in a twisted childhood?

Game emulation communities should be larger.
There is https://lemmy.world/c/retrogaming which has some tangent discussions.
I don’t think it’s big enough to support small separate communities yet. I think we need to let smaller similar communities exist inside larger ones
Pretty much all the communities I used to be a part of in my Reddit days were… pretty toxic to say the least. I don’t think I’d ever wanna go back to experiencing that again.
This is why I’m an immigrant.
Pathfinder TTRPG. There are plenty of sublemmies (is that what they’re called) for Pathfinder but none of them are active like the Reddit r/Pathfinder. 😢
Have you tried making threads in the larger games communities in the meantime to see if there are others interested?
That’s an idea but I didn’t want to be one of those pushy people that use a different distro like a Linux advocate of a specific distro.
I use Arch, btw. /s 😉
Any community dedicated to a specific anime or manga series. I liked seeing fanart and inside joke memes.
British panel shows.
Listed links to stream episodes of shows like Taskmaster, Have I Got News For You, QI, Would I Lie to You, and 8 out of 9 Cats do Countdown.
When daily news and life got too grim, it offered 30-60m of just brain dead funny distraction. Now, have to put up with Google and Youtube search bullshit and most of the time they’re wrong.
Meet your maker game instance. It’s already pretty small on Reddit but would love to see maps over here
Sometimes, when I’ve researched something and compiled a ton of useful information about a topic… wish there was a lemmy for that. Kind of the opposite of asklemmy.
Snack exchange
Sports subs for my favorite teams, game day threads used to be a lot of fun watching along with everyone around the world

I haven’t listened since the first “campaign” but I love the discourse.
What’s TAZ?
The Adventure Zone, a DnD-flavored storytelling podcast that started out strong, but then… Became strongn’t.
The Bravo/Real Housewives communities have been tempting me lately. I love all the franchises, but I don’t keep up with all the social media drama/ news in between seasons like those fans do. It’s where I got all my scandals and whatnot.
And also just having a community to chit chat with about the most recent episodes.
That being said, I deleted my account in July and I’ll not be going back.
The neocities subreddit, im in the discord though
