The closest I've seen on Lemmy is Hexbear's Mutual Aid community, where users help each other out financially when in need.

It works, in no small part, because the community is small and people have known each other by handles for years now.

But the flip side is that a few of the mods on Hexbear can be just as draconian in their administration policy as anyone on old-school Reddit. So you periodically see otherwise friendly and active members vanish from the site.
