What painter isn't a little bit of a chemist? What quilter isn't a mathematics wizard? A skilled tailor is essentially an engineer, and a printer qualifies as a mechanic.
I'm interested in processes. Where does paint come from? How does the wool get from the sheep to my sweater? Is there anything stopping me from digging up clay from a riverbed and making a pot out of it?
I'm especially passionate about this since artist prices can be ridiculously marked up on the same supplies that are sold in bulk to big industry. Too many brands market a vibe over quality, which makes it good to know what goes into making quality paints, papers and clays, and if you really can just spin your dog's sheddings into a nice hat. In an age of amazon consumerism we forget how much useful stuff is around us, literally on the ground, is being repackaged and sold from a warehouse halfway around the world. Why not learn how to make the most of what's free outside and becom
We have created an unofficial community for the !roblox@lemmy.world stealth game Entry Point, a game in which you can take items and escort antagonists stealthily or loudly under missions

The mods on former alien site community joined the June 2023 strike, had closed the community there and created one in lemmy.fmhy.ml, but in September that year the instance was shut down. Wanted to revive the community there, but that instance was already dead so this is the second time I made an community in an
A few months ago I created the MarkMyWords community here on Lemmy. Similar to the original subreddit, this is a community where users can come and share their predictions about the future with everyone so they can have proof that they’ve called it before it happened.
I made this community to boost text based posts on Lemmy because I think that's where the best and most engaging discussions happen. Please take a minute to check out the community and maybe even leave a prediction of your own if you feel like it!
Looking to move away from .world and it’s questionable moderation, but still want an active community to keep up to date about the world? This might be the community for you, come check us out!

Hosted on slrpnk.net, an instance with an ecological and anti-capitalist focus.
Fruit trees provide many ecological benefits – they are trees, after all! A properly-stewarded fruit forest can provide many of the benefits of a native forest while also providing an abundance of wholesome and delicious food! No tilling the soil, no killing the plants at harvest time, and no wasted vertical space. Fruit trees are also the gift that keeps on giving, producing food for decades and producing seeds and other propagation materials in order to spread the abundance, no profit incentive needed! Share with your friends, share with your neighbours, share with the birds –
Threadverse community for GenZ where we talk about our nostalgia and anything related to our generation. It's an alternative to r/GenZ which:
It's on Reddit
The subreddit in question is badly moderated and full of bigots and assholes
So instead of me trying to tolerate it, I will try "be the change that I want to see" and try run the community that's both friendly and also is on a decentralised network to avoid any Enshittification.
I have only just made the community today and these are the rules. Any feedback is welcome as long as it is constructive.
Rules
1. No bigotry
This includes queerphobia, racism, sexism, ableism etc.
2. Be Kind
Try to be friendly as possible. If that person you believe is breaking the rule or just being rude, please report them and we will handle it.
Guys Join the community! Men are welcome here! Ladies like myself, we are quick to jump into discussions about menopause to seek help and guidance.

A supportive space for women and men navigating perimenopause, man-opause,
menopause, hormonal changes, and reclaiming balance in mind, body, and
confidence. Share experiences, wellness tips, and real talk about the
transitions no one prepares us for. ____________________________ Perimenopause

Each post lists examples of a notable design pattern or trope, and commenters are encouraged to either list other examples or comment on how much they love (or hate!) the examples or tropes in question.
From an analysis standpoint, I find it really interesting to examine where the same blueprint can go wrong or right in different pieces of media. Maybe a great idea can go wrong in execution, or maybe a terrible idea has a lot of potential.
From a simple standpoint I also just like going "OH MY GOD THIS THING IS SO COOL!!!", and that's something I hope this community can always bring.
Community for CRPG (Computer RPGs) and other RPG discussions. Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome. New mainline releases, gems in the rough indie releases, retrospectives, mods, RPG video essays and more. You get the idea.
The comm has been rebooted 6 months ago and we have solid engagement, but your posts, comments and votes are always welcome!
I've wanted to make this all month but wasnt sure if I needed to. Went ahead and pulled the trigger. If you've visited and liked traditional art recently, you'll love this.
Not really specific to this community, but it's the most-reasonable place I could think of to post this.
Many of us came from Reddit, and created communities to parallel subreddits that we enjoyed there, using the same name. This was straightforward for Reddit expats who were familiar with those communities and immediately knew what content was expected at a community. However, many of these communities don't have a great description telling a new user clearly what the community is about. It's easy to have communities that, at minimum, take digging through posts to understand or just come off as bizarre without that context. And over time, I expect an larger proportion of users who join a community to not be simply coming from an analogous Reddit subreddit, so it'd be better to target users as if they're fresh.
I'd suggest that a good description should let someone understand, preferably in the first sentence or two, basically what the community is about, even if they are coming
