Nobody in my k-12 had a fountain pen cartrige or otherwise. Now I'm all about them though, r/fountainpens is one if the only things I miss about reddit

Well, it looks like there is a fountain pen community here: https://lemmy.world/c/fountainpens.

It doesn't seem very active, though. Maybe we ought to do something about that.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

I know there's a lot of hate on lemmy for it, but if you're missing r/fountainpens there's some thriving fountain pen communities on discord that have really helped me get over losing the sub in reddit's fall from ~~grace~~ usability

penposium (Most active, also probably the most ~~misanthropic~~ casual)

r/pens (Most users and a great resource for identifying obscure pens)

pendemic (often do fun group buys and similar)

Stationary Anonymous (General stationary, not just pens)

There's also Fountain Pen Network if you prefer the oldschool forum feeling, though it's much less close-knit of a community than the discords (imo).

Omg, handwritten chat in Discord. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is amazing.
