I'd probably make a general tinkerer/Maker/technical creative type sub to cover a lot of different disciplines and interests. Are there any subs like this already outside of the DIY sub? This never took off on Voat but Poal seems more like a community that can make it work so I'd like to give it a go here.

Analog is the best kind of log. Although log log rolls down stairs and over your neighbors dog.

Log is even better than powdered toast, man.

It really is the end all toy/tool. Once you have log there is no going back. Also what kind of electronics projects do you like to do?

I do a fair bit of Arduino/ESP8266 microcontroller projects for various automation and machine building. Working on a PID controlled heating fixture for some materials experiments right now. I also like repairing stuff I buy on eBay that is not working. I recently did a LCD display replacement on a Roland sampler from the early 90s and a massive overhaul of a GEM synthesizer. I do a little of this and a little of that. Some analog (audio gear mostly) and some digital and some microcontroller stuff. I need to fix a Tektronix CRT scope but I can't find a service manual for it. Will probably just break down and by a hackable digital scope soon. I'm not too good in the RF electronics realm but it does interest me. I miss repairing VCRs and component stereo equipment though.

It's better than bad, it's GOOD!
