    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.
