Who and what belongs here?

Elevator7009@ani.social · edit-2 1 day ago

Awhile ago, someone made a post listing communities targeted at women. All of the communities are now dead, since the poster listed only kbin.social communities and kbin.social went down. I did continue a community listed there at !otomegames@ani.social, but I do not know about if the other communities have been recreated on other instances. However, the reason I bring this up is because I think it might be useful to have a similar post here. Grow the Fediverse and all that.

Good idea, women should support other women

Alright, went looking for active versions of the communities listed in that post.

!girlgamers@lemmy.world exists but is very dead
!sanrio_kawaii@lemmy.ml, but a lot of people have issues with lemmy.ml. I try to avoid it personally.
There are several Animal Crossing communities. The most recently active one I found is: !acnh@lemmy.world. There is also !animal_crossing@lemmy.world and !animalcrossing@lemmy.world, both dead. There are a few more but with nowhere near as big a following.
And of course, !otomegames@ani.social, active, run by me

I also submit some communities for interests traditionally considered feminine, though I realize not all women would participate in these and other genders participate too:

!crochet@lemmy.ca
!knitting@lemmy.world
!lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works
!bistitchual@sh.itjust.works
!52weeksofbaking@lemmy.world is now dead and looking for someone to take it over
!journaling@sh.itjust.works

If women post about these things here I highly encourage them to crosspost to the hobby community too. I am definitely not the only woman who isn’t following this community. I don’t plan to engage here aside from these two comments. (Nothing against you or other women, I don’t hold “there is no patriarchy” beliefs, but this community does allow discussion on more depressing topics than I want to engage with on my online funtime, such as patriarchy and probably sexism.) I hope this proves a fruitful and fun place for the women who do subscribe to the community :) good luck!
