I'm here for like two weeks. It feels much better than constantly being on Facebook. I'm calmer and more present.
But I really miss my #yarn and #handspinning tribe. I have noone to really share this passion with in real life, and there seems to be like I'm the only mastodon user in this niche.
Maybe I should not care and just create. It just feels a bit lonely like this.
Or maybe I'm just too stupid to navigate the #fediverse. But I'm really not that geeky Person...

nice colours!
I think you've done the right fediverse navigation thing: adding tags for things that interest you will let other people interested in the topic stumble on them, and you'll find that there are quite a few #spinners here in the fediverse!
I'm a #dropSpindle person, and I make most of my tools, but I don't really post about it that much, sorry.

My attempt at making hand cards from board and wire were not so lucky. 🥴 😅

I find fiber preparation very important with the drop spindle. Gently pre-draw the fiber, especially if it sat for a while.

I recently did Spin Together, I finished 8,010 credit yards of spinning, 2,560 actual yards!

I don't See on a regular Basis, but I love that craft. Happy to see what you create and talk about it.
What strikes me most about this social experience here, is that it feels a lot more like dealing with real people. You brought up Instagram. Yes, these lovely colors, these perfect Fotos - and there is a never ending flood of it. But I hardly ever got some Feedback that had substancia.

in reply to Sibylle • • •and here, there is a crowd that seems to care genuinly about me being in this community.
This really gives me the drive to go on and share the stuff I do here. So that my favourite hashtags get some more content.

in reply to That guy over there ن • • •oh lovely! I have considered getting angoras, too. But I heard that you can't let the out or they start felting...
I've never worked with Angora. But the fluffyness is heavenly! How long are the fibers? The longer the easyer...
Don't you think felting it after spinning would be a pity? I'd rather either felt it or spin it.

in reply to Sibylle • • •Hi, Sibylle! What breed of sheep do you have?
I knit and do some spinning, but not much. (I'm pretty new at it, and the treadle makes my shins ache, which is probably a posture issue.)
There are other fiber artists on the fediverse, you just have to poke around to find them.
@gannet creates lace patterns, though she's been a little quiet lately.
@Knittymag is on, but they haven't been active for over a year... their list of followers might be a good start.

Yes I know 2 weeks is nothing. This very entry brought just a massive wave of Feedback.
I've already been told about this trunk thing. I just need to find out how this works, how I can log in etc. (I got a baby crawling around, so I do new stuff when he's asleep... 🥴)
Sibylle
Unknown parent • • •thank you for this profund answer. I'm glad that I don't need to worry about it now.
I also created some content on YouTube that I want to put on peertube. It seems like that is the same approach with these instances. I will have to take some time for that... It is not as intuitive for me.
Ich spreche vier Sprachen. Italienisch benutze ich selten. Wenn ich es lese oder höre, verstehe ich alles, aber wenn ich sprechen will... Das ist normal.
