Ideally your answer is a sub that you are currently posting to but few others are posting to.

/r/Columbus . [email protected] exists but it never really took off and has been dead for 8 months. I haven’t had anything relevant to post there, but if I find something good, I’ll post it. [email protected] just isn’t the same.
small locales gonna take a while to launch on lemmy, sadly
There’s also [email protected]
and subbed.
[email protected] seems more active
aww
May be too specific but have been inconsistently trying to get [email protected] going as a community to find alternatives/similar stuff to what one likes.
It’s a riff on the old ifyoulikeblank subreddit without the initially unclear tagging requirements.
People comment, which is great, but few other posters.
looks fun
I was looking for something like this, thank you!
EDC, I want to talk about cool gear.
The dragon communities

[email protected]I’m active on one but not the others, and I have a semblance of a plan.
i used to think dragons were cool before Drag came along
Still are, that dumbstick doesn’t change that
Beer stuff… I’ve added to the 2 groups I’ve found here. But, a lot more activity would be great.
I still Google with a “Reddit” tag when I’m looking for brewery suggestions in a new area I’m visiting. It’s pretty helpful, but, I’d like to lean on the Fediverse more.
It’s been a few years since I slowed down with drinking beer but is beeradvocate.com no longer a viable forum?
I’ve never used it. I’m on Untappd with several friends.
It is viable. Still active in both the local forums and the trade forums. They removed whiskey from the trade forums, which lowered the trade activity a decent bit; but it is still active.
I actually got bored with the beer subreddits. The beeradvocate ones were better. The local beer subreddits were useful for searches when I was on work travel, but that’s it. The beeradvocate ones are just as good.
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).

Cool! Learn something new every day.
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.
I miss standupcomedy and evilautistm but I’m not running them.
Fragrances UK for your perfume needs!
Male/masc feet pics. There is a dearth. And there is a silly default assumption that “feet pics” must always be female/femme and that really bothers me. Tho partly my fault for not contributing anything lately myself…
For anyone interested:
Good luck!
Thank you!
I still have a few reddit alts that I lurk with, at least until we get enough activity on Lemmy on those topics:
- Sports discussion, including specific leagues and teams
- Discussion about my specific local city (and maybe the other cities I frequently visit)
- Things relevant to my career/industry in law
- Economics and financial news
- Food and cooking
- Television shows and movies, including specific shows or narrow discussions
- Super specific hobbies and interests, not just the stuff I’m personally into, but also knowing that there’s a community around some other hobby so that there is lots of archived discussion where I can just click around and learn something new. For example, the most recent plane crashes in DC and Toronto, I went to the aviation community on Reddit to see what experienced professionals were saying about those things as the news broke.
Lemmy’s good on all the tech and science stuff I like, and most of the memes/humor that I’m looking for. It’s coming along on some mainstream interests, including the ones I’ve listed above, but still has a ways to go before the organic discussions reach the level of detail and expertise that reddit has. But it’s on the right track, and I’m optimistic about those things filling in over time.
Subreddit drama was pretty good for keeping track of drama in the space.
