Science Fiction, amateur radio, electronics... and maybe some equivalent of the popular (popcorn) subreddits; damnthatsinteresting, wtf, showerthoughts, TIL.

Ultimately I don't know yet. I'm hoping to see some new stuff that I didn't think to look for. Any topic can be interesting if people are passionate and not toxic.

This. I participate in homebrewcomputers on reddit, would be nice to see something like that here, although the website is small enough that posting diy computer stuff in "Open Source" would probably be acceptable.

Agree with you on TIL and damnthatsinteresting i guess we'l see how things go forward from here

Thanks! Both of those give me "couldnt_find_community" 404 messages, but I've has some issues loading lemmy.ml, it might be my client.

Weird, these communities aren't appearing when searching for them on beehaw. Yet they do in fact exist.

Actually I enjoyed to follow non-overthrow-related prepping stuff on reddit. I mean the subs where they present handy solutions for rather realistic problems and scenarios, not these where they romanticise a civil collapse, or extensive weapon hoarding and usage.

Also paintball, mag-fed paintball, archery, hiking and bushcrafting.

On beehaw.org I'd love to see instant or analog photography, frugal, cats, transgender, amputee support

I was looking for an RC car community like r/rccars on reddit, but I couldn't find one so I created it myself. [email protected]

Seconding ebikes! (Reptiles are chill but a reptile community would not be helpful for me personally)
