as a reddit refugee i mostly use lemmy, but sometimes i go back by a lack of alternative to some subreddit, which one you feel there is a need ?

DepthHub & RBI were good at times.

Although the obvious answer for me is the already niche subs on Reddit for software/TV shows which have just a few hundred people there. There'd be 10 people at absolute max on here and the community would not last.

I'm missing pretty much all the "League of Legends Mains" communities, especially ADCMains and SamiraMains. They were one of my absolute go-to subreddits and the only reason I haven't fully deleted my account yet.

Other then that it's mostly niche things, especially very niche wholesome fem-oriented NSFW subs

It's the lack of really small, niche, but still relatively active communities that is the biggest loss for me (so far). For example, I want to to talk about Brentford FC, a tiny English football club which was only promoted to the Premier League a couple of years ago. But we're a million miles away from that when there are exactly two communities for general soccer and one community for Liverpool FC, all three with exactly one subscriber.

Any other Bees fans out there? This Flekken guy seems pretty promising, even if I had hopes for Alban Lafont.

Scribus. I still use the open source DTP at work even if I have InDesign installed.

Edit: they have been added, I'm thrilled r/lockpicking or room porn if they haven't been added.

I miss /r/opensuse and an active Java community. There are a few Java communities on several servers, but they are all basically dead.

Communities that are focused on a broad topic and full of obscure knowledge. I'm really missing r/ToyotaPickups, r/atming, and r/KnifeMaking right now.
