What are some more niche communities Lemmings are sleeping on? (lemmy.ml)

Heyho, I recently joined lemmy and enjoy my time here. However, there are so many communities that I am sure I am missing a few good ones.

What are some communities, people are sleeping on? What communities have you found here that you didn't find in the same way on other platforms?

Feel free to suggest any communities!

I am personally interested in stuff around Open Source Tools (like cryptpad, pdftotext, gimp, trilium, drawio, ...), Magic The Gathering Commander/EDH, science news in general, ... but the answers here don't need to be limited to my interests.

Worldbuilding?

I take a lot of people here have various writing projects. It's honestly one of the communities keeping my Reddit account active because there's so little engagement in the worldbuilding communities here.

Pro tip: when you find a comment by someone you find interesting or insightful on a topic you wish to see more about - click on their profile and see where else they're posting. It's a great way to find additional communities.

Furthermore, lemmyverse.net is amazing for finding communities.

!squaredcircle@lemmy.zip

For professional wrestling. The squared circle mods put in a ton of effort to keep content posted, and also are very responsive to comments. But the community is tiny.

I'm not even a sports fan but I'm always impressed how active !squaredcircle@lemmy.zip and !formuladank@lemmy.world are! The active members put in a lot of time (and memes) into making those communities and I hope they attract the membership to become sustainable.

I didn’t know what it was about and was confused why anyone would break a hip during a scrum session; those sticky notes really are violent.

I'm enjoying !morphmoe@ani.social quite a bit. Basically the concept is, anthropomorphize weird random stuff, except make it cute. I wish there was more diversity in the character design, but it is an anime instance afterall I guess lol
