The weekend, and the rain, has arrived.

What are we all up to? Mourning the lack of sun? Happy for the rain? Still playing Tears of the Kingdom with the curtains closed?

You are absolutely right it does seem that more stuff is either parent or retirement age focused!

Have you found many good craft communities on the fediverse? I haven't seen much creative content on kbin so far?

Not sure what you're into but....deep breath...you asked for it.

!lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works (direct link) is a brand new one for cross stitch & embroidery, needs more people to join!

!crochet@lemmy.ca (direct link) is the most active crochet one I've found, some nice convos happening in there already.

!knitting@lemmy.world (direct link) again there's a few but this seems most active.

For sewing there seem to be two trying to get off the ground but neither seem super active. I'll probably just pick one at random and start posting in it if that doesn't change but they're !sewing@lemmy.world (direct link) and !sewing@sh.itjust.works (direct link)

!leathercraft@lemmy.ca (direct link) isn't something I do personally but I do enjoy perving over their projects anyway.

Erm...if I find any more I'll come back and update this lol. Kind of one a one-woman mission to build a good list, then hopefully convince the various mods to sticky it so people who find one of these places can then find all the others too.

(Also p.s. I don't know how to format these links for Kbin so sorry if they don't work. But hopefully I've made it a bit easier for any other Lemmings who stumble across this comment.)

Oh my god, thank you for such a comprehensive list! I will be checking out each and every one of them a little later on.

I feel like everyone really t needs to pull together and try and build all these communities to get this whole place rolling. Thriving more niche communities are vital to that.

Yep absolutely! I can't commit to running one myself but can at least do my part by being a patient explorer (and insufferable shill) of new communities lol.

I think you should post your group collection to the front page in someway. We absolutely need to be pushing crafts and creative groups to the forefront. Thank you again!
