Just a working list - feel free to add to it. I realize that some of these might already exist, and I just missed them. Here’s what I’ve got so far:
- Book suggestions
- Obscure Media
- New England
- Massachusetts
- separate communities for every other state too
- Mildly interesting
- Antiwork
- Anti-Amazon
- buy it for life
At first I read “would not like to see replicated” and I almost got upset, haha.
For me:
- Fountain pens
- Communities for different countries/regions or different language-speakers - on Reddit, I often lurked /r/de, /r/Philippines, etc.
- Mechanical keyboards
- Woodworking
- Oddly satisfying
- Star Trek
- Battlestations
I definitely second BIFL, Antiwork, and different communities for U.S. states, as I don’t often get to connect with other people from Texas on the Fediverse.
I’ve found https://lemmy.ml/c/startrek for you :)
https://sopuli.xyz/c/fountainpens theres a fountain pens community
https://sopuli.xyz/c/fountainpens@sopuli.xyz this should work
Yes to the language-learning one! I really need to have a space to support my goal of learning German. I’m already really missing that resource that I had on Reddit.
r/france was really fun to hang around for language learning reasons! I loved their sense of humour. Their thread about whether the subreddit should blackout (i.e. strike) over what was going on was absolutely hilarious. It went something like:
Mods: Hey r/france we’re wondering whether we should strike on… Redditors: Yes.
