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.

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.
