Knitting friends! 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.
I hope it’s useful!

Suggestions welcome, and I’ll do my best to keep this updated as I find more relevant groups / smaller groups merge etc.
Craft on, people. Craft on 🙂
https://sh.itjust.works/c/tabletop_hobby is another community for miniature gamers.
Like the one on kbin, it doesn’t have traction yet. But these hobby communities need profile to get found, add members and take off.
This one https://lemmy.world/c/ww2wargaming has a mix of posts about painting miniatures and terrain as well as the games themselves.
Thanks for these! I have a couple others to go in the next update too, finally someone made an origami group 😄
I couldn’t find an updated community list on your profile, so I’m writing a reply to this post:
maybe that’s blatant self-advertising, but you might want to have a look at my origami community I created a few weeks ago (since I couldn’t find any other origami community for my instance)… no drama, no politics, just simple paper folding, I promise :)
Here’s the link: !origami@feddit.de
If you could send me the link to the other origami community you mentioned earlier, that would be very great!
