Bingo. That's what r/exatheist is for me. Both extremes usually get talked down by the mods who tend to be fairly even-keel.
The other sub I like (but only lurk) is radicalchristian. I'm not Christian, but I love the way they look at the world and their religion.
I tried so hard with LOTR. Especially because I saw how much hate WoT got (despite WoT now being my favorite show, and 6 or 7 rewatches in) and I wanted to give it its fair shake. It didn't work for me, and I'll probably be late to the game for S2, but I don't think all the hate for either was justified.
Since nobody else had (in my network) I added [email protected] and [email protected]. If I don't see a community I want, I plan to try to add one. I'd like to drive enough activity in lemmy that I don't mind losing reddit.
I found a Path of Exile one: https://kbin.social/m/PoE
it's empty at the moment, and the microblog's collecting #poe hashtags as in Edgar Allen... but at least it's there:)
Weird ones like the ones about the letter wars, eg r/theLetterH
And generally communities about movies and tv shows, eg dedicated series subreddits
r/zillowgonewild, r/mcmansionhell, r/lastfm, and r/humansarespaceorcs have always been fun places for me. History-centric and hyperlocal neighborhood-level subs, too.
I also like most of the circlejerk subs. Maybe straightforward communities here will be less self-serious, thus making [blank]jerk counterparts unnecessary.
I've seen a few people mention fighting games on here (e.g. Street Fighter). I'd be interested in that. The number of gameplay clips people would be sharing make me think it ought to be its own instance, though.
Also:
Some communities have been created for those, but don't seem to have gained much popularity.
How would you access this from Lemmy? Does there need to be explicit federation?
I'm on lemmy.one, and I've tried https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected], but it doesn't seem to do anything but give me a 404
I've set up [email protected]
It's probably not practical to have subs for individual games just yet though.
I spend way too much time on r/coffee. A lot of people think we are pretentious snobs (which can be true sometimes) but we're just stuck in the neverending pursuit of the "perfect cup."
Also r/linguistics and r/mathematics are fun to read, especially when new papers are published and there's a discussion going on
