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.

Neat! Thanks for taking the time to make this list!

On an unrelated note: How did you make these "local" links? Sorry if the answer is obvious, I just can't seem to find any documentation on how this wizardry can be achieved.

Thanks again! :)

You're very welcome! For the local Lemmy links you can use /c/community@instance which makes a relative link from whichever home instance someone is on.

The only issue with that is it'll give a 404 not found error if your home instance hasn't indexed that community yet, in which case you'll need to fall back on searching for it the old fashioned way to subscribe.

Someone from Kbin kindly let me know that it should work the same for them but with an "m", so /m/community@instance but I might have found a bug with that and need to get my Kbin-using husband to help me figure it out, so those links might update later.

Trying my best to make it easy for people but it's not straightforward! 😅
