Definitely r/retrogaming and r/gamecollecting.
Chat
Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.
Subcommunities on Beehaw:
This community's icon was made by Aaron Schneider, under the CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
/r/OpenSourceGames :P
Soccer and photography are probably the two main ones that come to mind for me. I'm really happy to see the new writing community, and I'm excited to see more specific creative communities come about.
I miss r/actuallesbians, r/MTF, and some obscure gaming communties like r/titanfall, r/Metroid and r/Earthbound.
Oh and the brainrot known as r/okbuddychicanery and r/anarchychess.
r/vegan
And in no way, am I saying I would like to recreate that community, but a vegan friendly space with Beehaw's core values, just sound amazing to me. r/vegancirclejerk was great too, but I had personal issues with the mods.
Ditto but for r/vegetarian, which had a lot of vegan users too. I want to talk about cooking, but not have to wade through posts about meat to do it.
AskBeehaw. PC Gaming, Retro gaming, different communities for each major console.
FFXIV, stuff like /r/StoriesAboutKevin and /r/TalesFromTechSupport, and /r/xena
Whatever hyper-specific place lets me rant about how everyone misuses PDFs. ...And a BattleTech sub.
Heck, just generally, I wish Lemmy was more like... spin up a server and you've basically got a subreddit. Rather than having these big mostly-isolated attempts at being everything.
/r/curvy . I mean, uh, /r/gardening. Yeah that one..
Off the top of my head communities like
r/3rprinting r/instantpot r/todayilearned r/therewasanattempt r/space r/changemyview r/unpopularopinion
I really like changing my wallpapers, so something for mobile wallpapers. Also, I really enjoyed r/
whatisthisthing for wacky things people found
askdocs and legaladvice for advise on when to seek professional assistance
askreddit (which I see some posts, along with AMA-type things on c/chats)
YouShouldKnow and LifeProTips
Outoftheloop to ask questions for summaries (e.g., Why is everyone talking about Johnny Depp?)
For an askreddit replacement there is an asklemmy community on the lemmy.ml instance [email protected]
Honestly though I hope it doesn't become too much like askreddit. That sub got increasingly repetitive with it's questions (i guess there's only so many questions to ask internet strangers though)
I loved the insanity of wallstreetbets. Hm. Maybe better off without lol
I really enjoy the specific game based communities but obv that is a bit of an umbrella.
One of my favourites was r/engrish, basically making fun of English misspellings. I couldn't find it so I created it over on https://vlemmy.net/c/engrish Come over and join us and share you favourite misspellings. Already posted a few of my favourites.
hmmm…. for politics I would say r/neoliberal and r/socialdemocracy
other than that r/anime r/animesuggest r/demonslayer r/19684 r/towerofgod r/lotrmemes r/historymemes and r/mrfruit
A sub for Bike Mechanic stuff - either submit a photo/issue, or brag about new tools kind of thing
I would personally like a fine art related community. Something for critique and discussion of art and art history. It seems like many places I’ve been before turn their nose up at anything abstract or outside the realms of traditional western art.
Travel-focused communities would be lovely, akin to r/travel and r/solotravel among others.
Are there any diy communities?
You can also go to the communities tab, change the filter to "all", and type in "DIY" or "Do it yourself" to find it across all lemmy instances (that federate with your instance)
Some that I have come to enjoy on "That other site":
Facepalm InstantKarma KDE Linux (although I appreciate there's a community for OS) ObsidianMD StarTrek Buddhism Astronomy Motocycle (and/or MotoUk) Meditation Archery Rollerblading
I'd love to see local community pop up like /r/WashingtonDc or whatever town state you're in
