What niche reddit community do you want to see find a place on the fediverse?
Personally i'm looking forward to seeing twobestfriendsplay, arkhamasylum, whowouldwin, and respectthreads, on here.

Please can we have a "BuyNothing" or "Freecycle" Comunity? One for each city/region/area would be better but If needed we could have just one where post titles contain the location (SacramentoCA) before anything else. Then sorting / Searching would weed out the unwanted due to distance items.
I feel it probably makes more sense for location-specific instances to have their own communities for these things. So for example, have a Lemmy instance for London, e.g. london.lemmy.uk. Then have [email protected] community, which is for Freecycle posts in London.
Of course anyone from other instances can join, it just seems to make sense that something so location specific should be in a location specific Lemmy instance (of which there are a growing number).
How can I find out if there is an instance for Sacramento?
At this point I don't see one. Lemmy is still quite small, probably less than 10,000 active users. I guess my comment was idealistic rather that realistic for right now.
There is a list of instances here: https://join-lemmy.org/instances
Also one of the instances has created a community browser that lets you search communities across instances, but I haven't seen anything freecycle related: https://browse.feddit.de/
Except maybe https://slrpnk.net/c/zerowaste?
I think your instance lets anyone create a community, so you could create a freecycle community for all until there are enough users to support regional ones.
