My local subreddit, but it will sadly never happen, because the overwhelming majority of users there simply don't care about whatever spez or reddit is doing - they didn't even do the 48h blackout, just complete apathy. Oh well, I'll miss it, but not enough to actually go back there, so it's all good.

MODERATORS
What is it?
Well, time for you to create it and hope that a new generation of lemmy users will eventually find their place.
That's not happening either - I would not be a moderator or leader of any community even if it was a paid position :) It's fine though - I can definitely live without it, I'll just need a bit of time to get over the addiction fully - I am surprised at how much I like this place, so it's actually going much smoother than I expected.
Talesfromtechsupport and the other tales subreddits were always great.
I will miss Hybrid Animals too.
I really miss my local city sub. It had barely any traffic but it would keep me in touch with certain events abs news.
I tended to use Reddit for smaller niche communities, many of which I do not see here yet. For example Eldin Ring, Ghost of Tsushima, Hot Sauce, Gifrecipes, Rings of Power, PTCGL. It will be nice when these can be created and have enough people to make it interesting but it's not there yet.
- learnprogramming
- gifRecipes
- softwaretesting or QualityAssurance
- tinder (profile reviews and punny responses were just simple)
- nattyorjuice
- publicfreakouts
- whatcouldgowrong
- tifu
- unexpected
- one of those local r4r
one of those local r4r
In this case it should be called l4l or k4k, depending whether they're on Lemmy or Kbin.
I keep looking out for the lonely lemming subs but nothing yet. They probably need a particular population size (and mix) before they start working. Same for the random acts subs.
HobbyDrama. I wouldn’t have anything to contribute so I haven’t started it myself, but I really enjoyed reading the in depth writings about niche hobby blowouts.
Love that one. Consistently high quality.
For the racing enthousiasts, I created c/wec . Feel free to join, I'm lonely over there :D
A league of legends community would be nice
None really, got all my crafts here already and my other account has all kinds of gamedev communities to follow. Now that Star Trek is here and a couple of people have set up Eurovision communities, not to mention UKCasual is here, I'm pretty sorted!
Just need more people to join in with the ones that exist, now.
Do you have any gamedev communities to recommend?
Sure! [email protected] (local link) has become the most active general gamedev one although there are others, if you visit this one you'll see there's a pinned thread with links to all kinds of related communities you might like. Engine specific ones as well as other general gamedev ones and so on.

A lastfm community that is active
Niche, but I enjoyed Stereograms.
Cosplay, anyone? Like sewing, there's some amazing artists out there.
Another vote for justrolledintotheshop.
The two that I can think of are Justrolledintotheshop and Fitness. I know there are fitness communities, but I miss the Weekly rant, victory posts, and the activity. There was also a circlejerk version of it and I liked lurking there. I understand that the type of person signing up here probably aren’t into some of these things.
I know Justrolledintotheshop didn’t participate in the blackout because it seems like a lot of the posters there didn’t care about the API stuff. They also don’t care about their personal data being harvested, and I’m sure they complain about right to repair and all of that fun stuff too.
Anyways, I always liked the “humorous posts; educational comments” subreddit. Another example would be programmerhumor.
I appreciate the mods for what they do, but I only feel comfortable commenting, lurking, and the occasional posting. Posting content makes me feel too connected to the internet and reminds me to touch grass more often. Hence why I wouldn’t become a mod or create those subs
A malazan book of the fallen community and a world of tanks blitz one
I feel like for Malazan the only alternatives have been discord servers, and maybe the old forum but I haven’t been there in a long time.
Do you have links to the discords?
I'm listening to HoC on audiobook. Its been kind of hard to follow because I haven't had a pile of time to listen consistently.

I would love to see a disc golf magazine
There is one over on lemmy.world. only 10 members right now.
Thanks for the heads up!
I want a kitchen confidential magazine. As a cook, I found a lot of comfort visiting that sub at the end of a long day and seeing everyone else experiencing the same stuff I was. I miss that content
joke subreddits such as /r/pferdesindkacke, /r/breadstapledtotrees, /r/dogswithwings etc.
a new home for r/comics!
Where is VexillologyCirclejerk? Is it safe? Is it all right?
I wish for TheIsle to become a Sublemy
Sublemmys
subLeminals
Want something like r/hardware.
They're up now but continuing to participate in Reddit leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
I'm holding out for a College Football community (or, really, an FCS football community). We're coming up on the season, and I'm gonna miss the shit talking and Game Day threads, not to mention general CFB news and updates.
