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.

MODERATORS
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.
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.
I think Polandball has never really taken off here, same with Lego :/
C'est tragique. I never spent much around polandball, compball or that stuff but it was kinda nice seeing them every once in a while (even if i didn't get them lmao) but the fact there is no lego community is insane.
The Polandball community on Reddit is really focused on the creators I don't see them moving anywhere soon :(
There actually is a lego community !Lego@lemmy.world but it's very slow with roughly 1 post per week. Certainly doesn't scratch the itch
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.
Tbf, most I use especially since I started ignoring news and politics... Chinese, Buddhism, art, yoga, poetry etc. Local city subreddit. Everything "humanities" is sparsely populated here even though I try my best to get the ball rolling. I still use reddit for some of this.
Thank you for your posts on !imaginary@reddthat.com !
We have !fedigrow@lemm.ee to discuss community growing and posting

Investment or stock communities.
Personally I'm boring and just invest in broad market indices, but I still enjoyed the discussions.
There is a Saudi community on Lemmy as it just popped up in my feed.
All arab related communities are modded by the same person, panarab and he's a PTB, so.. (Also an asshole in general so i'd steer clear)
I think of running a saudi/arab community here on lemmy but i think it may be too tiring, especially since i'm one of the more westernized arabs (despite not living in the west lol)
and he's a PTB
He's a public test build?
Power tripping bastard, !yepowertrippingbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com :)
Ah, of course, that makes much more sense.
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.
True, in this case, it would actually be beneficial to eventually have multiple communities based on region, e.g. !nativeplants@feddit.uk, !nativeplants@lemmy.nz, !nativeplants@lemmy.ca, etc.
Not sure if Lemmy quite has the numbers for that yet, though. Thoughts?
Tagging @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com
I would probably put everything in the same community at first, then split when userbase is sufficient
The second one should probably closed
Crazyfuckingvideos (especially since I was one of the first posters there), Reeftank, Bookcirclejerk, Playboicarti, Gardening, Photography
Yeah, they're just not nearly as big.
Indeed, there's only so much activity you can expect from 47k monthly active users
r/collapse
Full of the most pessimistic possible interpretation of climate change events and news possible.
It's here too, but quite dead.

I miss there being a lot more Swedes around in the Swedish community. There's >100k+ on Reddit, !sweden@lemmy.world has far less active users and a large chunk of the posts are from me.
