I’m legally obliged to shill the various crafting communities, my two most used are !knitting@lemmy.world and !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works but you can find lots more in the sticky thread in either of those.

Then there’s also !imadethis@lemm.ee which has been a bit quiet lately so if you’ve made something, go show it off!

Oh lord, ok now things make a lot more sense 🤦‍♀️

Can I ask how you were “introduced” to .world? Just been wondering why that’s the one everyone is moving to atm.

Yup, it’s been extremely effective. I got engaged at the end of last year and certain types of people seemed genuinely horrified that I didn’t get a diamond ring.

Anecdotally though those tended to be older folks so I think maybe it’s losing effectiveness and younger people are seeing how absurd and arbitrary the whole thing is.
