Are there any women-centric communities?

Something akin to /r/twoxchromosomes.

EDIT: Some of the communities mentioned in the comments

!women@lemmy.world

!feminism@beehaw.org

!twoxchromosomes@slrpnk.net

Definitely interested in this as well. One thing I miss most about Reddit is how female/lgbt-centric I made my main page.

You might like !women πŸ™‚

There are a couple lesbian communities. I havent seen anything like 2x or thegirlsurvivalguide yet though. None show up in the community browser either. Someone should start one.

Yes there is:

!women

The consensus of previous similar threads looking for something akin to r/Twoxchromosomes was to move away from DNA related names to sound more inclusive and welcoming transgender and non-binary folks. πŸ™‚

There's !feminism@beehaw.org which will probably act as a hub for the time being

beehaw has defederated from 352 other lemmy instances, including two of the largest - lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. I would be cautious about settling in there.

Yeah. It's quite disappointing but not entirely unexpected

I'd love to see a twox or trollx sub. I'm on an ecologically themed instance though so idk that I should make that there or not.

Edit: Screw it, I made it https://slrpnk.net/c/twoxchromosomes

Thanks for creating the community.

You might also want to look at !women created by makeitso.

That sub had been created in response to threads that were looking for a community with a more inclusive sounding name that’s not connected with DNA :)

(Full disclosure: I’m not the creator or mod of that sub. I just want to promote it as it (still) has a less recognizable name for folks coming from r/Twox such as myself).

Awesome thanks! I'll be in both :)

Browsing the communities here, I found Witches, and twoxchromosome. twox doesn't have anything yet, but Witches has a few posts.

I don't know of any, but I'd be interested in joining such one.

Not super active but a space exists and can be made into what you want https://lemmy.ml/c/twoxchromosomes

True, but isn't it a great opportunity to rename the women's interest comm as something that's not trans-exclusive?

Springtime@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Yes, that was the sentiment of previous threads around this as well.

makeitso has created !women to be and sound more inclusive.

Ah, glad to hear it :)

Not seen any on Lemmy/Fediverse but you could check out ovarit.com

spaduf@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 9 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Unfortunately front page is primarily made up of a transphobic/antiqueer sub right now.

jackwebs@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I'd second the suggestion to create something on Lemmy, then. It's supposedly easy enough to create your own community on here.

spaduf@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 3y

I think I'm pretty comfortable pointing people to !feminism@beehaw.org right now. Probably for the best for it to be on one of the more popular instances.
