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.

A sub for Bike Mechanic stuff - either submit a photo/issue, or brag about new tools kind of thing

[–] realChem@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's BikeCommuting@lemmy.ml, which is not exactly what you're asking about (and not on beehaw) but might be a good place for that kinda post in the meantime!

[–] arcticpiecitylights@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm a mod over at that sub - I'm glad you found it and thanks for sharing! Perhaps it might be good to do into to mechanics posts for people to learn stuff that they can do on their own if they are commuters.

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.

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

[–] jherazob@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Tabletop has what i see as 3 main variants which are rather separate communities:

  • RPGs
  • Boardgames
  • Wargames

Each has a gazillion little subdivisions, and there's related interests like miniature painting, terrain building, sculpting and others, but i guess a "tabletop" community would do until we grow more

I really like changing my wallpapers, so something for mobile wallpapers. Also, I really enjoyed r/

whatisthisthing for wacky things people found

askdocs and legaladvice for advise on when to seek professional assistance

askreddit (which I see some posts, along with AMA-type things on c/chats)

YouShouldKnow and LifeProTips

Outoftheloop to ask questions for summaries (e.g., Why is everyone talking about Johnny Depp?)

Something akin to /r/CharacterRant with interesting critique and analysis of media. Most of the same rules would apply and as long as people don't get into flame wars it would be a great fit for Beehaw. It would require a good bit of moderation, though.

[–] mustyOrange@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I agree, a lot of the PC building communities would be nice to have here

r/momforaminute was lovely but might verge a bit too much into mental health support unless guard rails are made for such a community.

[–] nimnim@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

r/LiveFromNewYork, r/whatcouldgowrong, r/sploot, r/greebles, r/blep, r/GooglePixel

[–] chromebby@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

r/Aquariums, r/PlantedTanks, r/Aquascape !

[–] nxtequal@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looks like no one's mentioned it... I'd like a British community. Maybe for discussing news in our corner of the world, maybe just for casual talk like /r/CasualUK.

[–] StringTheory@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

!ukcasual@lemmy.world is awaiting your arrival!

[–] CDN@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The only community I really miss is r/todayilearned. Just some quick, interesting facts. Having an alternative here would be fantastic.

[–] StringTheory@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

There are a few TIL communities! They’re off to a good start, too.

[–] redditblackoutkekw@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

A lot of these communities already exist on several instances. If you're not already aware of https://lemmyverse.net/communities I encourage y'all to peep it
