Nice. But, please let's not devolve this community into another anything goes random stuff dump. There are enough of those already.
I agree with you completely. That said, part of the thing this community will struggle with is that there are "primary" communities for most of the things people make (woodworking, leather making, luther, 3D printing, quilting, etc). It's kind of nice to have a community that looks across other communities, but what should be posted here? Is this a best-of things people made or is this a repost repository? I'm not sure what a good answer is.
I mostly crosspost here when I finish knitting a nice pair of socks. Occasionally hint at other crafters that they should do the same with their finished projects, to limited success. Of course there are plenty crafts that don't have a community yet, too, so it's nice to have an enthusiastic catch-all community like this for when it's needed.
That's fair. I have reasonably mainstream hobbies when it comes to making things, so most of them have a dedicated community. Not all those communities are very active though. I try to nurture some of them with content and am personally not a big fan of posting the same content in multiple spots. Maybe I should give up on some of the smaller communities for now.
Would you like to share some of those communities? Maybe we have interest in common
Here's a list. Note that there's a decent amount of fragmentation due to multiple communities filling the same niche in different instances, as well as sub communities (see: functional printing and fix my print vs 3D Printing and birding and travel photography vs photography)
- !woodworking@lemmy.ca (2.02k subscribed, 70 users/month)
- !luthier@lemmy.world (174 subscribed, 2 users/month)
- !3dprinting@lemmy.world (I made a lot of my own designs and post some there) (13k.7 subscribed, 338 users/month)
- !3dprinting@lemmy.ml (842 subscribed, 44 users/month)
- !functionalprint@kbin.social (1k subscribed, 10 users/month)
- !vorondesign@lemmy.world (make your own 3D printer and modify it to there and back (271 subscribed, 2 users/month)
- !diyaudio@sh.itjust.works (65 subscribed, 1 user/month)
Not so much "I made", but related:
- !gardening@lemmy.world (2.27k subscribed, 14 users/month)
- !photography@lemmy.world (3.81k subscribed, 49 users/month)
- !photography@lemmy.ml (925 subscribed, 32 users/month)

- !travelphotography@lemmy.world (1.68k, 2 users/month)
- !sonyalpha@lemmy.world (145 subscribed, 1 user/month)
How about you? Always looking for communities for things I'm interested in. My default sort is subscribed + new.
Interesting, thanks!
On my side, I'm mostly invested in !lego@lemmy.world. I also lurk !warhammer40k@lemmy.world as they have beautiful painted figures
Obviously very much up to you but I do think crossposting has its place! Actual crossposting, not duplicate posts, important distinction there. Doesn't show up twice in people's feeds, but lets you reach both the small niche audience in the original hobby community and then also the potentially wider audience in a community like this! And of course, lets people in the bigger community know the smaller one exists.
That said I do use it sparingly :D
