minimalism
About us
An open, user owned community dedicated to the philosophy of minimalism and the minimalist way of life. All types of posts are allowed, as long as they are relevant to the topic of minimalism.
Rules
1. Be honest with yourself and others.
The goal is to develop yourself personally and as a community. Seriously, if you’re not honest with yourself and pretend to be someone else, you’re not going anywhere. The first step to progression is acceptance, isn’t it?
2. Be polite to others and respects each others opinions.
Your freedom ends where somebody else's begins. Remember that there are people that may see things differently than you.
3. Keep it theme-oriented, up to date and relevant.
In general, all types of contributions are allowed, but the relevance to this community must always be evident and presented openly by the contributor. Posts that do not meet these requirements will be removed after a public warning.
4. Use self-moderation measures first before reporting.
This community is fundamentally built upon freedom of speech. Since everyone understands minimalism differently and we do not want to exclude any kind of content a priori, we appeal to the individual users to block/mute posts or users who do not meet their requirements. Please bear this in mind when filing a report

Wow thanks for the thoughts!
First, I strive to do the same with buying more quality goods rather than cheap ones (because I've also noticed that I actually save money with lifetime warranty stuff). Second I saw the advice on r/minimalism about adding things to your shopping list or window shopping and waiting out for 3 months before buying it and took it to heart. One of the best advices ever!
And hey you sound a lot like the people over at ZeroWaste, is there an equivalent in the fediverse? I agree I can't bring myself to replace all my things with reusable ones (diapers was a great example), but striving towards that is all I need!
Thank you for the awesome thoughts and advice :)
Glad to help! And yes there is a zero Waste community hosted on lemmy.ml!
