Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

For me it's been communities like /r/buildapc, /r/buildapcforme, /r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, and /r/consoledeals have been useful throughout the years.

Off the top of my head communities like

r/3rprinting r/instantpot r/todayilearned r/therewasanattempt r/space r/changemyview r/unpopularopinion

[–] loopy@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

changemyview was fantastic when people were actually open to discussing their view; I witnessed some very thoughtful discussions. Some people would unfortunately hardline their opinion and reply with things like, “Yeah but that doesn’t change my opinion,” and seemed as though they were not actually open to changing their view.

I can't seem to find a movies one, best part of Reddit was looking up discussions of the recently released movies

Media-related communities such as r/plex r/sonarr r/radarr plus the other *arrs and related like plex meta manager

[–] l0st_scr1b3@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I saw it sort of mentioned, but I think niche shitposting communities like the various okbuddy subs.

Also wanted to add that a comics equivalent would be nice if there isn't one already. I doubt many of the longtime artists would migrate fully, but it would at least be another platform that could get them greater reach.

I want equivalents for:

  • r/Fantasy
  • r/tipofmytongue (iirc that name - the one for helping people find shit they've forgotten)
  • maybe r/52books (it produces too many simple posts to just go in r/books, not sure if the same would be true here)
  • r/vegetarian

Edit: r/fantasy is the biggest one for me. In effect the subreddit is really more for SciFi and Fantasy, both - and other speculative fiction - and they have a yearly speculative fiction bingo card that's really fun to participate in. It's mostly books in practice but is not exclusively about books.

r/outside, r/publicbsod, r/wildlinuxappears, r/cyberdeck, r/WritingPrompts, r/ChatGPT

Definitely r/genshin_impact

[–] grizzzlay@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I’d love to see a community for pro wrestling! The industry as a whole has made a lot of progress towards being inclusive. It has a long ways to go of course, but an even longer way for the social media communities to be less toxic and more thoughtful in content and discussions.

  • More vinyl record collector communities. Always loved finding new music and seeing what interesting things people are picking up.
  • Communities for specific, niche genres of music. Synthwave, mallcore, house music, jazz, etc.
  • Archery! Love seeing the kind of things people are shooting, how people are shooting, getting advice, giving advice and learning new things about the sport.
  • Geographically centered communities. I like having communities for my local state and cities to see what's going on in the area. Way more informative than local news.

/r/guitar, for those of use who struggle (and suck) at self-learning this amazing instrument.

I'd like to see a community specifically dedicated to tabletop RPGs. Don't think I've seen one of those yet.

Scuba diving! 🤿

Or just diving / water sports in general (although probably more thought should go into picking the name...). Specifically scuba is probably too niche to make an active community at this point in time, but it feels a little out of place in a more general sports community.

r/scuba was always a fun place to go and see people's cool videos of marine life and underwater selfies, as well as being a good place to ask questions and discuss gear.
