I like this idea. We should make a topic like this every month or so, maybe in the fediverse community, too. Discoverability is so hard on the fediverse.

I usually try to populate the main ones, even popular ones such as !comicstrips@lemmy.world or !europe@feddit.de don't have that much content.
I'm taking those two as examples because comicstrips usually makes it to Top of All when content is posted, and Europe is potentially appealing to a large audience (326 users a week)
I would love to see more comics on Lemmy. I've been using an RSS feed for them
If think in that case using a bot would make sense
What is this community about???
Mystery Science Theatre 3000, like the original reaction videos. A cast of silly people/robot puppets watch a movie and comment on it.
My favorite cat sub, !scrungycats@lemmy.world.
I created !onskates@lemmy.graz.social, a community for quad & inline skating. So far there was only a single post from someone other than me. π₯²
Iβd also like to go much more niche with a community specifically for wizard skating. But considering the limited popularity of skating communities, there is no need to hurry creating that one.
@smeikx Same with @rollerblading. The sub is pretty big on reddit, but no one is looking for it here, apparently.
Iβll contribute! I ride urban skates myself and have been on ice and inline skates since childhood.
!graphicnovels@lemmy.world
I even posted pictures my entire collection some weeks ago to get things kickstarted but is no moving.
Honestly? I'm just wondering why there is noone on league of legends related Communities like !league@lemmy.ml considering how active r/leagueoflegends was/is
Sadly most gaming communities transferred to Discord. Even lol subreddit is losing users.
When did Discord become a social network? I've only ever used it to talk with friends while playing.
As people got the hang of using Discord to make large, complex, moderated and bot assisted servers people communicate more heavily on there.
Discord moves too fast for me to want to use it that way, all conversations disappear rapidly on busy servers, but other people certainly do
I think the communities that moved there weren't posting the same types of content. When someone wants to ask a question you just get an answer, no back and forth or debates needed. That doesn't work when you're posting a news articles looking for lively debate.
!sbcgaming@lemmy.ml, used to explore it daily on that other site, but now it hardly receives new posts :(
That's a thing?! Closest is me half running xonotic on a rasp pi(fonts didn't load)
Here are some
-
!theNightFeeling@lemmy.world - this community was quiet on Reddit as well, which was nice in it's own way. It could use some more content though
-
the various animal communities, like !awwducational@lemmy.world
Really trying to get !geocaching@lemmy.world off the ground
!imsorryjon@lemmy.world
I created @insect_photography during the migration and it started off nicely. Activity has gone down though so be welcome to just check in if youβre interested or have something to share!
Most of the ones I created;
All of these are largely just me posting! The last two do get occasional posts from others.
Electronic hobbyist pages for Arduino and Expressif microcontrollers for project help and showcasing protects people are working on:
There are not enough single game focused communities, and the ones that do exist either have nobody in them, or are just bots spamming low-effort content that don't garner discussion.
!miamihurricanes@fanaticus.social
As the name suggests, itβs for fans of Miami Hurricane sport teams. Iβm more or less the only poster right now.
!battlestations@lemmy.ml has been pretty quiet... I miss looking at cool setups and vicariously imagining myself using them.
On a similar note, !buildapcsales@lemmy.ml to help turn your vicarious dreams into a reality.
Subscribed. This kind of community was an invaluable resource for me on my last build. I'll post any sales I come across.
!whatisthiscar@lemmy.world - Post pictures of spotted cars that you cannot identify.
!oldcars@kbin.social - for classic car enthusiasts
!swimming@lemmy.world - self-explanatory
!countrymusic@lemmy.world - Country Music
!idiotsincars@lemmy.world - also self-explanatory, a bit more active than the others. Submit your dashcam footage here of idiot drivers
I dont own/mod any of these but would like to see more people active in them
I created !15minutecity@slrpnk.net and it's got some activity but it could definitely use more!
Communities for JRPGs (Japanese role-playing games, like Final Fantasy or Persona).
!JRPGs@kbin.social has the most subscribers so far, but the mod at !jrpg@lemmy.zip has been more active in discussion.
Edit: huh, just noticed the kbin community hasn't updated in a while through my lemmy instance. Known issue maybe?
!admincraft@l.matestmc.ru
the instance is pretty much dead and that means the community is dead also.
I'm a big fan of !Cocktails@lemmy.world
