A couple, I think. WoTshow is one I really liked. And exatheist is a tiny sub where a bunch of people who were once atheists of all different religions talk religious philosophy.

Honestly its just my local city subreddit, and the community for my favorite 2nd tier sports team. It has barely enough users even on reddit though, so it probably won't survive with a smaller overall user base.
Big city communities. Like Milwaukee (could fit into Midwest social)
r/Fatsquirrelhate
It's exactly what you think it is.
Most of these are on Reddit, but there may be a few that I thought could be specific, but not as niche as some of the ones on reddit. (like no community just for one game)
Van conversion/van life
Birding
Camping and hiking
AmITheAsshole
Each state in the US
Longevity
Kindlescribe/e-ink
RestlessLeg (or a chronic condition community)
Woodworking (bigger builds)
Carving (smaller builds, not furniture or big stuff)
Nutrition
NextFuckingLevel
JRPG
Turn-Based RPGs
Action/Adventure Games
r/Arduino!
r/kamenrider, r/supersentai or any of the tokusatsu subs for that matter
Iβve setup an instance focused on some niche topics and hobbies, thereβs not much there yet but here they are if anyone wants to check them out:
FFXIV β https://possumpat.io/c/ffxiv
Bugs β https://possumpat.io/c/bugmenagerie
Esports β https://possumpat.io/c/esports
Gundam β https://possumpat.io/c/gundam
Star Trek β https://possumpat.io/c/startrek
Xenoblade β https://possumpat.io/c/xenoblade
Where's all the game developer communities?
Why is there no /c/TIL ?
I want to see r/conlangs migrating.
It's the only subreddit that I'm still contributing in good faith with. The community is beehaw levels of nice, and the mods are surprisingly competent and decent people, not trashy like the r/linguistics ones.
The only issue with r/conlangs is that it's in Reddit. But if they were to migrate, frankly? I'd be glad to help them out. Perhaps even donate to whatever instance they create.
r/NixOS
If anyone is looking, I made !amateur_radio (https://sh.itjust.works/c/amateur_radio).
It's not exactly obvious how to make them, so here's a more clickable link for all instances: amateur_radio
All the anime communitys, what's that thing, because it probably saved several people's lives, the communities all around gaming and (let's be real) most probably want the NSFW part of reddit to migrate here as well...

Not trying to start any political debates. These are just some of the subreddits that I would like to see as communities here on Lemmy. Feel free to comment if some of these exist and I'll update my comment.
Ah, just realized that almost none of these are actually niche. Whoops.
/r/pencils It's not weird I like pencils!
r/edc and r/pens would be cool too.
r/vinyl, r/audiophile, r/dankchristianmemes, r/steamdeck, r/neovim, r/bash, r/awk, r/ambientmusic
/r/sweden /r/languagelearning /r/svenska /r/girlgamers and /r/witchesvspatriarchy
marijuanaenthusiasts, DankVotingReformMemes, designdesign, GlamourBeards, HeavySeas, ididthejobboss, itsslag, mechanical_gifs, Justrolledintotheshop, NeutralPolitics, Unextexted, StraightsBeingOK, StreetArtPorn, Zoomies, wowthissubexists, streetwear, specializedtools, britishproblems, so many!
I hope that the main Xenoblade subreddit can have a faction over here. There's lots of interesting comments there.
humansbeingbros is my wholesome dose, so to me that'd be essential.
Oh and also cozyplaces. It's quite fun and interesting to see how people make their living environment quite so cozy and enjoyable.
I really hope /r/xbiking makes its way here! I'm addicted to seeing their creations.
- Wow, wownoob, and other game specific subreddits.
- Star Trek, Star Wars, and other sci-fi movie/show related subreddits
- NFL team and other sports related subreddits
- Fantasy Football
r/anarchychess. Where else would I get seventeen unoriginal en passant jokes a day?
I would like to see:
r/NoSleep r/skincareaddiction r/math r/cpp r/python r/gonewildaudio
r/LittleBigAdventure, r/OpenMW, r/RimWorld, r/Thrive, r/adhdmeme, and r/WarAndPeas (whose user has a mastodon account too).
