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

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
I do not miss the circle jerk subs. I admit some were funny, but most were just mean-spirited and ended up becoming worse than whatever it was they set out to make fun of. For example, the books circle jerk sub was full of snobs who snarked at people in the books sub for...gasp... liking popular books.
There's just something inherently pathetic in using a platform to make fun of others on the same platform. It's like going to a dance party solely to stand on the side and make fun of the way people dance.
I hope that sort of thing doesn't catch on here. But the "asshole filter" could creep in if lemmy reaches a high user population.

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