Anything about guitars. The most popular one has several days between posts, orhers have months or even years between posts.
It's probably the only thing I miss about Reddit.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

MODERATORS
I tried to make /r/asksciencefiction around the time of the API exodus from reddit. It got a bunch of initial traffic and even got the attention of the mods of the actual subreddit but ultimately I guess they decided to stay on reddit rather than encourage people to go to Lemmy. Anyway, the traffic has slowed to basically nothing and I've kind of lost interest in moderating it, not that it really needs it anyway since the community is like 20 users per month.
Would it make sense to consolidate with !sciencefiction@lemmy.world ?
After taking a look at that community, not quite since it's not strictly limited to the science fiction genre. Asksciencefiction is kind of a weird amalgam of subreddits which makes it hard to categorize. Think about the format of the Q&A sub /r/askscience and then tack on /r/fiction. It was more of a roleplaying subreddit than anything. Sometimes there'd be serious discussions, but the best replies were always from people who were roleplaying as people living in the fictional universe.
There is an on-going discussion on !fedigrow@lemm.ee about how we should maybe aim for more generalist communities rather than niche ones.
Maybe the AskScienceFiction niche could fit into the general sciencefiction community. Up to you

shitty ask reddit. In this case it's called shitty ask hilarious chaos. We need more quality text shitposting participants.
c/snackexchange
I'm the only poster but don't want to spam too much and look like a scammer.
Even though I'm probably never gonna contribute, I hope this takes off.
I am mainly looking to fill the trans subreddit void! Reddit was a very good place to find other trans ppl and then ask questions and relay stories and such

https://lemmy.world/c/Football@lemm.ee really needs an active user base. It's inherently international and applies to anyone in any country who loves football/soccer. There are so many things going on in the sport at all times of year, not just in season.

China time, it's all about bad knockoff watches.
EDC, I want to talk about cool gear.
!tinnedseafood@lemmy.world
For those rare swifties here on the fediverse we have !taylorswift@poptalk.scrubbles.tech and a more generic pop music one at !popheads@poptalk.scrubbles.tech .
For Satisfactory fans there is also !satisfactory@lemmy.world
Another /r PokemonTTRPG would be nice.
In general i miss all the TTRPG communities
+1 for the local communities and the ADHD and AuDHD communities.
I'm looking forward to our first proper mystery like The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet or Celebrity Number Six. We'll know the Fediverse has 5 years to live max when this becomes the place to post that kind of thing.

I miss standupcomedy and evilautistm but I'm not running them.
!watches@lemmy.ml This community was abandoned, until I decided to become mod and give it some life(Guides and posts). There was some activity the past month, still nothing like the subreddit one, and it has 2k subs.
Have you ever considered moving it off lemmy.ml to another instance? Some people avoid lemmy.ml (https://feddit.nl/post/16246531)
Also, feel free to join us on !fedigrow@lemm.ee
