While it’s a running joke on Reddit to say “There’s a Subreddit for everything” to express your amazement at finding an extremely obscure or bizarre sub, there actually isn’t a Subreddit for everything. Despite the many times I try to instigate “Llama’s Law”: an Internet Adage stating that “If something exists somewhere, there’s already a Subreddit for it”, there are some Subreddits that did exist but no longer do, and some that will never exist.
In the past, some Subreddits have been removed for their highly controversial nature[1]. Likewise, there are no Subreddits for content that violates Reddit’s Content Policy[2].

However, there are still some Subreddits that don’t yet exist but could, and plenty more that have fallen out of use for inactivity, often known as ‘dead subs’. r/findareddit can help you find a sub for something, and if there isn’t anything you can either create your own Subreddit[3] or go to r/redditrequest and ask to take over one of the many banned or abandoned subreddits that you'd like to mod. You MUST read their rules[4] carefully before posting a request.

Find an abandoned sub at r/inactivereddits, and there’s a sub called r/subreddit where you can share an unrecognized subreddit or find a subreddit you've been looking for.
