Greetings leathercrafters! Since makers tend to make more than one sort of thing, and we crafters need to stick together, here’s a list of fellow creative communities for your navigation pleasure.
For each craft I’ll include the current most active community first as well as alternatives, and add each with their full URL as well as local links for Lemmy and Kbin users respectively.

Posted with mod permission & I’ll keep it updated as I find more relevant groups / smaller groups merge etc.
Craft on, people. Craft on 🙂
Yeah, I’m trying to revive it, and attempting to get it transferred from an absentee mod as well. .world did just update lemmy versions and I’ve been seeing fewer errors since then, so hopefully those issues get better! I’ll continue posting multiple places anyways though.
Thanks for maintaining this list!
