What's a niche Lemmy community you want more people to know about? (lemmy.ml)

Can I post a request?

When I was on TOS (the other site) there was a bunch of active parenting forums. Even down to the specific month and year your child was born. I've missed that community with other parents here. Does it exist? I will settle for more general if there's activity.

Also any active finance / FIRE communities here?

Someone should start a thread about what communities we miss most (if there isn't one already)

Agree. I miss not having an eGPU and a piercing community on Lemmy

Here, you'd barely get enough people to fill a parenting forum.

I think you would get enough though. Lemmy seems to skew older and and based on what I've seen a fair number of people have kids.

I can think of someone who would probably be game to mod it, but he's a bit notorious for continuing somewhat silly arguments on occasion...

!parenting@lemmy.world is pretty active. Doesn’t get a huge amount of discussion threads but when someone starts one they always have plenty of responses.

Imagine being afraid of using a name. I thought Rowling made that shit up.
