Just curious. I miss mainly language stuff, some video game communities (like RoN, KCD) and some local communities like for Arabs or Saudis (tbf those were always cesspits but I miss talking to other Arabs on Lemmy)
I’ll try to be the change I want to see. How about you?

Bit on the niche side but some relating to posting cute animal pics or some more hyper specific niche ones for some games. I actually run a few on Lemmy but real life issues alongside less activity overall means I’m lookin for some mods on that end.

I saw your post on comm_revival before this comment, aint this the truth. I miss some of these communities. For cute pics there are !superbowl@lemmy.world by the way.
Feel free to advertise some of your communities on !comm_revival@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
3d communities like blender, vfx were active, I was getting back into webdesign (for local businesses freelancing) so wordpress was interesting (for the drama not helpful lol), comicbooks was wayyy more active there (I stopped reading when reddit permabanned me, i liked discussing with the ppl reccomending me stuff), fantasy for books, all the drug related ones, rave related ones, nootropics, supplements, etc. Adhd and adhdmemes there was good, thats okay here.
One for my model of car. One for native plants in my area
Are !nativeplantgardening@mander.xyz or !nativeplantgardening@sh.itjust.works too broad?
Native plants doesn’t mean much if it just means native to the US. Theres a lot of weird stuff in CA, TX, and other regions found nowhere else, and a lot fewer plants that are found across regions. Ideally we’d have the users to have discussion about specifically CA-native plants but I’m not that passionate or knowledgeable enough to lead that effort.
There are some great communities of obsessive hobbyists here like !Selfhosted@lemmy.world, and if you throw a brick in any direction you’ll hit two Linux nerds, but reddit has /r/sysadmin and other infosec groups that have large numbers of industry professionals - and no amount of enthusiasm can substitute for real-world experience. I miss the conversation from people who spend time writing system security plans, reading NIST documentation for guidance, thinking about remote management for networks that support thousands of end users, and who have to actually deal with the cybersecurity incidents that get reported in the news.
You can contact L3s, the mod of !sysadmin@lemmy.world and ask to become a mod since the rest are completely inactive. Though i don’t know how you’d be able to consistently post nor the content that was on there, since i’m not a sysadmin :)
You can’t produce an actual community by wanting it, or by forcing it. Only time, and the effort of many people, can bring it into existence. It was a long time before reddit attracted professional communities. It will be a long time before it happens here, if ever.
Of course, but i was talking about you helping it be more active. Personally there were two pretty inactive communities i liked, that i had helped revive. It wasn’t just me of course and it was hard but it’s possible. Just a thought though.
Writing prompts. It’s here, but it’s unpopulated. Tbf the Reddit one wasn’t super populated either, but that’s where I did a lot of my reading.
Yeah, it gets the occasional post, but responses are few, and tend to take a while to show up
Interesting, never heard of it. Though that content sounds like it takes effort which only a select couple of users would exert.
The type of person commenting there ideally wants most eyes to see their work, so I think it could do well even with a small community of commenters, it used to be really fun when it was just everyone giving it a go and not professional authors who are bored.
Well both the mods of !writingprompts@lemmy.world and !writingprompts@literature.cafe are inactive, so if one of you were interested you could take up moderating it ;)
Not inactive, just not active active. There’s never anything to moderate, and I’m not prone to doing my writing on lemmy these days. Character limits make it somewhat annoying to fit things in. I favor longer fiction than I used to, particularly back on reddit. Since this account is exclusively for my pen name, and I’m a non entity, there’s not much call to interact with things.
But I passively use lemmy plenty, and read everything in the community.
Would you be open to consolidating the activity on !writingprompts@lemmy.world onto !writingprompts@literature.cafe?
@gabe@literature.cafe, @Arthur@literature.cafe, would you be open to adding MaelGuerra to the mod team?
Yeah I’m totally fine with that if MaelGuerra is up for the transition!
r/morbidquestions. I don’t think it’s coming here any time soon as it’s a moderation hell and lemmy doesn’t seem very into morbid stuff.
Yeah, I started one here, told the folks on the discord about it, and nobody ever switched.
Mind you, I abandoned the sub a ways before reddit shit the bed in '23, but it had a warm and bloody place in my heart, and some of the people there were/are genuinely great folks.
Tbh, I think here moderation would be easy enough for now. Lemmy runs higher to people that actually read community rules. And, since there’s a lot less limits to what can be discussed overall, a small team could handle it as long as they aren’t all in the same time zone.
But, over on reddit, automod could handle most of it anyway. Throw in some keywords, set it to filter for mod review, and you’re good to go. Without that, if it got as big as the subreddit did, it could get to be a serious job.
