I'm legally obliged to shill the various crafting communities, my two most used are [email protected] and [email protected] but you can find lots more in the sticky thread in either of those.
Then there's also [email protected] which has been a bit quiet lately so if you've made something, go show it off!
Found minimalism this year, it's been a game changer for me. Have reduced my wardrobe by half, worked through all the misc pantry items I've been hoarding (or threw out shockingly expired canned goods...), have away stuff from my basement. Feels amazing, less clutter and more control.
So much stuff was "good to have" or "just in case" with a layer of dust on it. From a mental health perspective it's been really nice to go through and keep up with.
I constantly have to guard my stuff against my gf who has minimalist tendencies. She doesn't get that I like having stuff around that I pick up once every three years. It brings back memories for me. Also, who throws out books because they've read them? Heresy, I say!
The community on Lemmy seems less about minimalism for the sake of being minimal and more about ethics, minimal pedantry ("should we stop taking pictures because they create clutter?"), and being cheap/frugal.
Did you have a different community or resource in mind? I'm interested, but only with respect to my stuff, and in a more "buy it for life" way.
I thought a sawmill based community would be great as I would love to post some cool videos of things but it never went anywhere on reddit. Guess it's just too niche.
Hi @Rolando ! Yeah I hope so too, hopefully they are just on holiday or something. I'm trying to keep up posting there, Arotrios posted in @worldwithoutus when I was on a break.
[email protected] and [email protected]. I really want some more activity for CK3 and grand strategy on Lemmy like there is on Reddit. Oh plus my daily mander.xyz shout out.
It's more of a "learn from other's mistakes" kind of thing for me. I've seen a lot of videos of people doing stupid shit and it being fatal.
Especially in terms of driving. That sub made me a whole lot more aware and conscious of my decisions as a driver. To not indulge in careless choices. It seems like a morbid way to learn a lesson, but when you see the after math - the lesson really sticks.
