Serious question, as I‘ve barely seen any mention of Lemmy on Reddit. None of the Mod posts regarding the Blackout mentioned Lemmy as far as I‘m aware. Would it be against the TOS to start a coordinated promotion?

      It is! And I do want to figure out mastodon, if anything, for their Crafting/art community, but I’m having a bit of a hard time figuring ou if/how can I go around visiting other instances I know its possible somehow because users from different ones show up for me, but mastodon is the one in struggling with. It’s not like lemmy or kbin where I can see stuff, they prompt meto make ne an account before I can see anything and I just don’t know how to find the people in the other instances from mine yet. :(

        The easiest way is to search for hashtags and click through to profiles that look like they post interesting stuff. You can also check out https://fedi.directory/ where there are suggested accounts to follow for all kinds of different topics. If you’ve not made an intro post there yet, do that too with the tag #introduction and any other tags you’re interested in, that way people will come to you!

        Also what kind of crafts and do I already follow you there? 👀 lol

          Oh, you definetly don’t, I haven’t found the courage to post anything yet lol, but you’ll find me eventually, cause I really loved your profile so I’ll be following you once I have some time to sit down and focus a bit on mastodon again. Thanks for the tips I won’t give up on mastodon and try them out

          I think we’ll get along fine, I do embroidery in general, and I’m trying to drag myself back into sewing and crochet, it’s been a few years with those

            Do it do it do it, Mastodon is just as friendly a place as Lemmy in my experience.

            I’ve had to migrate my account off Beehaw today sadly but on the bright side it’s given me an excuse to explore more instances. Still haven’t come across a sewing or embroidery / cross-stitch community anywhere. I’ll have to look harder tonight. Have you seen any yet?

              Not yet. That’s one thing I’ll miss from reddit until they pick up here, that’s for sure. Let me know if you find anything!

              Yeah, the defedeation thing, I really like Beehaw, and I ended up making a lemmy.world account too, so I’ll just end up using both of them at the same time :V

                That’s fair. My gamedev account is on .world and honestly it’s been fine, we’re not savages over there or anything :D

                I’ve found a new crochet community that only has a couple people but they’re at least trying to post things [email protected] (direct link)

                [email protected] (direct link)with one solitary post, dunno if they’ll accept my cross stitch but it is technically embroidery so…

                And a couple of sewing ones but neither have much going on.

                Still, all it takes is for us to get stuck in making content, right? :)

                  For sure, I had, great experiences on world so far, I think they’re just worried about the possible future, perhaps.

                  Thanks! I’ll join those as well with an alt account and hopefully we’ll be able to grow them.

                    Just checking back in with an update, I found a brand new cross stitch (and embroidery) community too. It’s on one of the defederated servers but since you have an alt accout already…
