Yes, there are some niche communities in /toy/, /ck/, /sp/, and /sci/ that I appreciated. It gives “old internet” vibe of niche hobby, slow forums instead of everything gets swallowed by the “everything app” that is reddit, Facebook and twitter.

Like for example, there is always thread about people showing photos and collection of their army men figures and dioramas. I personally don’t collect them and don’t participate in the discussions, but I like seeing people touch grass, play with army mens and post their photos posing the army men in their backyards, with sometimes hilarious scenarios and scripts. Same deal with /sp/, people coming together to dunk on Manchester United losing never gets old.
