Ideally your answer is a sub that you are currently posting to but few others are posting to.
I love these kind of memes and try to actively post for a while now. I need to ask my Canadian friends at one point if I can mod that community, the only moderator is absent for a very long time now…
Love your posts there. Keep it up brethren 🫶🏽
oh I loved that sub in reddit! cool beans
Oh wow, I did not know I needed this in my life! New sub here.
Basically every regional community. Think towns and states. Those were some of my favorite communities to engage with
we gotta start broad and move local only as the population grows. so for example instead of Columbus you gotta start with Ohio. maybe Pittsburgh can hang out too
I came here to voice this opinion as well. It’s one of the only things I miss about the other site. I have found people on Mastodon attempting to fill that void with regional hashtags though. YMMV.

Thanks! I’d like to post more regularly on my part but just dropping images from mobile feels lazy and I haven’t had much time in front of my desktop to properly format posts recently. Hope to see you there!
A way to softly encrypt/obfuscate your handwriting. Fun to get into with friends!
this is so cool, you will definitely see me there either every day or never or maybe once in a while
Lol, I’ll take it
Oh man, this brings me back. I remember passing notes in middle school in bootleg Elian script - I’m in my 30s now.
It’s by far my favorite cipher because it’s easy to read, it’s easy to modify if someone else learns to read it, and you get a ton of artistic license with the way your letters look so long as they adhere to the basic framework. Really well formed Elian is unrecognizable as script to someone who isn’t looking for it.
Thanks for this, subscribed!
Hey hey, awesome! Yeah it’s super fun. And if you’re good at it (I’m not) it can be super creative!
My buddies and I, and likewise those in this community, try to stick to the standard alphabet arrangement, so we can all read each other’s stuff. Though we do dabble in other puzzlery, using basic Elian as a layer of obfuscation.
Welcome and enjoy!
Ahhh nice! I didn’t realize this one was here too not just on reddit 😁
Well it wasn’t until a couple weeks ago 😬 Enjoy!
!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!
Not trying to remake it, because i already have a full time job being self employee and having ADHD
I go back to Reddit weekly to check in with r/locksmith, r/lockshop, and r/accesscontrols
There’s a wealth of knowledge to pull from there that Lemmy just can’t duplicate right now

We’re going to be emulating the original subreddit, but I missed my witchy coven and recently became a mod

Oh thanks! I just copied what my client gave me
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.
Most of the video game subs, BG3 is active enough, but I like Tribes and EvE online and their subs are sorta dead. I know niche titles wont have as much discussion, but representation would be nice.
I been posting to my little !elderscrollsonline@lemmy.world one for months. I think there have been under 5 people who’ve posted other than me in the last year. !motocross@lemmy.world as well, and that one I think I’ve been the only one to comment aside from when I asked if the community was dead lol.
Just gonna keep it going, people will show up eventually. Probably. Lol
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.
Anything audio related…
does that include phonotactics
I was thinking more about audio engineering, audio softwares like Reaper, plugin, audiophile setup et recommandation, etc.
Well I am hosting the !cocktails@lemmy.world community, we welcome you!
The ones I miss are the local city sub, haircare/curly hair, and the nonsexual nude threads, normal nudes and naked progress, and the draw me nsfw.
I just subscribed to cocktails. Thanks for putting that together.
Just subbed, I love a good cocktail. Second that it would be good to have a version of /r/normalnudes on Lemmy.

Not that the subreddit was enormously active, but would love to see more folks over here instead of reddit. Unfortunately I think a lot of that crowd is still stuck on Facebook too, so there’s that.
If this one got more activity, I could stop using Instagram completely (already dumped FB and Reddit).
Communities that are mostly on meta are going to be tough to shift. One of my main ones is Electric Unicycles, which has a lot of activity over there because people rely on it for organising group rides and such. It means even the subreddit is pretty small.
I tried looking for less niche categories, like for Personal Electric Vehicles, no luck. The closest I found on Lemmy is for micromobility, but it’s pretty dead.
