Ooh a PieFed community! Wonder how that'll play with Mbin and Lemmy. Followed. Hope this along with the more mainstream textile hobby communities convince me to actually engage in my textile hobbies more often.

Hey, thanks for the recommendations! I have never heard of Tomboy so I went and looked it up and from the images I saw on Wikipedia it definitely looks "forever ago".
Wish Lemmy Scheduler worked with Mbin, because I found a lot of good posts for !digitalgarden@lemmy.world that would best be spaced out to avoid spamming and to keep the community active for a decent period of time.
Personal Knowledge Management and the like!
- !pkms@lemmy.blahaj.zone (/c/pkms@lemmy.blahaj.zone)
- !obsidianmd@lemmy.world (/c/obsidianmd@lemmy.world)
- !digitalgarden@lemmy.world (/c/digitalgarden@lemmy.world)
A decent explanation on what a digital garden is. Kind of at the intersection of PKMS and blogging. You can keep continually editing and it is not meant to be perfect, somewhat like an online journal you keep, something something learning in public.
That link punted me off my instance to sh.itjust.works, here's another one !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works
Curiosity made me check if !femalefashionadvice@lemmy.world existed and it does but it is not very active—I'd imagine any not-man looking for fashion communities on the Fediverse might not bite on male fashion advice lol. Now I am also wondering if just plain "fashion advice" exists, or anything for nonbinary people. Back when I was on Reddit I wasn't aware of such a subreddit, I was only aware of malefashionadvice and femalefashionadvice.
I'll be honest, I am not even qualified to advise on fashion. I am sure I am not colorblind but things like "oh, that color washes you out" or "that color flatters you" have never been something I am able to see. I feel I'm missing a lot of knowledge like this, but I get by because none of my clothes cause me trouble in daily life—no pain, unexpected restricted movement, or general discomfort; people compliment my outfits sometimes; and I'm happy with what I'm wearing.
Also, good luck with the community and I hope you find posters, as someone who is also one of the primary posters in some communities I'm in and hopes others would interact sometime.
I look for things to post on some of the communities I follow. Unfortunately I cannot commit to doing this regularly for all communities I follow.
Also, your icon need not be made by you, so even if your art skills are as mediocre as mine it is fine! Grab some Creative Commons thing, slap it on your community, and attribute it. That is what !newcommunities@lemmy.world did.
I do like fashion.
I always thought "streetwear" implied a certain kind of style that is not my cup of tea, and I am very uncomfortable posting a picture myself online, even if I censor my face out.
This is exactly why I chose Mbin: to help diversify Threadiverse software.
Title is ugly.
I figured "where you live" is basically the same thing as "home" unless you start getting into stuff like some adults living in hotels all the time because they are constantly on the move and rarely at their permanent address, or adults not considering their current residence their home because they know it's just a temporary place and they'll move soon or they do not like where they live and they don't feel welcome.
Data investigates nothing like that. Instead investigates adults specifically within 25–29 years old who live with their parents, which might be the same place as their childhood home.
Pretty image though.
On one hand I get your point, but on another if you spend most of your time learning (but through other formats than books: through quality online articles or videos, and not eBooks) then it does not seem so bad to me.
I am reading nearly 24/7 but I complete a full actual book maybe once a year. Might be bigger if you count the books that have also (legally) been wholly posted online, but I often forget them because I read them just like an extra-long article: on my phone. I read peoples' original fiction that they post online so I'm not sure whether to count it or not.
I like longer articles but I do admit that I consume so much less long-form content than I did as a child. At least I avoid TikTok and Reels and the like? (Not to be elitist, but because I know I specifically would get addicted and waste my life. Very bad for my particular ADHD brain.) Also something something possible link between lower attention spans and only consuming short-form content. So I get the general gist of your idea and agree even if I do not particularly agree with the emphasis on the medium of books.
