Useful links to related craft communities

Hello laser folks! Since makers tend to make more than one sort of thing, and we crafters need to stick together, here's a list of fellow creative communities for your navigation pleasure.

For each craft I'll include the current most active community first as well as alternatives, and add each with their full URL as well as local links for Lemmy and Kbin users respectively.

Thanks for posting this, now I just need to figure out how to use my Mod powers to sticky it!

By our powers combined we have achieved glory! Or a vaguely useful pinned thread, which is pretty much the same as glory right?
