You prompted me to go through and check what I was subscribed to on Reddit, so here goes:
Rubik's cubes
!cubers@lemmy.world exists, but it is pretty small, and there isn't really a meme culture associated with it. Rubik's cubes are very visual hobby, so perhaps this is being hampered by image hosting costs/restrictions? Personally, since I can't post photos straight from my camera, so I haven't bothered to post any images.
Spaceflight
For now, I think these topics can be adequately served by !spaceflight@sh.itjust.works, !spacex@sh.itjust.works, and !rocketlab@lemmy.nz.
We do have !spaceflightmemes@sh.itjust.works, but I'm keeping it on "life support" with Reddit content. I wish the Lemmy spaceflight userbase was large enough to support its own meme culture.
CGP Grey, Brady Haran, and Hello Internet podcast
I've made !hellointernet@feddit.uk, but things have been pretty slow. It doesn't help that the podcast hasn't uploaded in five years XD
@grant@toast.ooo has made a nice home for !cgpgrey@toast.ooo. (Psst, it's time to swap out the pinned Cortex thread for the latest episode :)
Tesla
I think these are adequately served by !teslamotors@lemmy.zip and !avs@futurology.today. (Thanks @BrikoX@lemmy.zip and @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al)
Lesser Musk Empire
I've made !boringcompany@sh.itjust.works, but haven't had the time to grow it. For Neuralink, might a more general community for brain computer interfaces be viable on Lemmy? I'm thinking something like !bci@futurology.today.
Board games
We had !carcassonne@feddit.de, but no replacement was created when feddit.de went down. Any instance recommendations?
Futuristic tech
!fusion@lemmy.ml and !fusionenergy@lemmy.ml exist, but they are pretty dead and I'd rather move off of ml where possible. I couldn't find anything for deextinction or cultured meat.
@Lugh@futurology.today, any interest in growing communities for these on futurology.today?
Harry Potter
HarryPotteronHBO
Closest thing is probably !leaky_cauldron@diagonlemmy.social, but it is also being kept on life support with Reddit content.
Miscellaneous
Nothing whatsoever for this.
Somehow, my favourite 3rd-party app still works on my phone. I don't know how, and I'm not going to ask questions. I am sad that u/codesForLiving hasn't made a Lemmy app. Anyone know what they're doing now or how to contact them?
If the casual spaceflight and Lego userbase of Lemmy could be grown, this community would arise naturally :)
!penderwicks@literature.cafe would be the obvious choice, I just haven't gotten around to creating it yet.
