For example, I used to follow a lot of subreddits for individual YouTube content creators, however, Lemmy doesn't really have the size or culture to support this currently.

Its a super unpopular pitch but the communities on Reddit for steroids and PEDs were some of the absolute best sources of information on them.

I dont do steroids, but I do use a few compounds that arent illegal but are considered performance enhancing drugs by world sporting bodies and trying to find anyone with practical experience with them outside of Reddit is like pulling teeth.

Thailand is full of western roid-heads and they have a decent online presence. Vigorous Steve on YouTube is a good starting point

Aerial arts - silks, trapeze, flying pole, lyra, straps, custom apparatus like cubes/chairs etc. Anything about doing artistic acrobatics on a piece of metal/fabric/other suspended in the air. The community on reddit was the perfect size but pretty much none of them came over to lemmy.

Individual communities for every car in existence like reddit has. And an active bitcoin community that isn't just a bot mirroring posts from reddit.

Edit: and a community for DJs.

I'd love to see niche communities.
