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.

3D PRINTING

Bookbinding

COSPLAY

CROCHET

CROSS STITCH & EMBROIDERY

DICEMAKING

KNITTING

LASER CUTTING

MODELS & MINIATURES

POTTERY

SEWING & QUILTING

SOAPMAKING

TATTING

WOODWORKING

MISC

Posted with mod permission & I’ll keep it updated as I find more relevant groups / smaller groups merge etc.

Craft on, people. Craft on 🙂

    Can you add !cosplay@lemmy.world to the list as well? I’ve gotten more interaction posting there than the blahaj one, and the kbin one doesn’t look like it gets a lot of interaction either.

      Sure! Last time I checked that one had literally zero posts haha.

      I will say though, it might still be worth crossposting everything to as many places as you can for now because there’s some weird federation issues going on again with .world specifically, and craft audiences are starved for content as it is without half of it going missing… 🙄

        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!
