Question: I want more (fiber)arts and beauty in my timeline as a counterweight to all the sad and bad stuff. Currently I follow quite a few hashtags, but not enough. Any recommendations for more?

I was at the island(van brienenoord) with a little bit of snow for a fiberspace meeting, updating our tiny lil hotglue website with our upcoming exhibition 🪡Fiber Fiber 🧵on the 28th of Feb! (https://fiberspace.hotglue.me) #rotterdam #fiberarts #koevlaaimetslagroom
Two snowy tree trunks meet horizontally, have a little kiss
A cut out tree trunk semi covered in moss and snow with a strange hole in the middle of it
Old tree trunks with a little bit of snow on them. Visible moss on the curvature of weird old branches

Most hashtags are pretty obvious, you just put # in front of a topic. For example if a post is about coffee it might have the tag #Coffee
However, many popular hashtags have difficult-to-guess names, so I've started a list to help people discover them:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/fun-and-useful-hashtags-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-wider-fediverse
Copy-paste a hashtag into the search box in Mastodon if you want to browse or follow it.
If you have suggestions for non-obvious hashtags that should be added to the list, let me know in the replies 🙂
@FediTips if it was not added yet: #JobAlert #histodon #academicChatter #makersHour #writingCommunity #solarpunkSunday #standingStones and #standingStonesSunday #phantastikPrompts #FotoVorschlag #FiberArts #textileArts #visibleMending #thickTrunkTuesday #naturelovers #FediHire #fediHelp #FediGive #askFedi #HerStory #WomenInHistory #WomenInSTEM #indigenousPeople #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi #blackHistory

Any server recs for my mom? She's a 70-something knitter and progressive living in New England, and she just quit Facebook for good.
She's into fiber art, yoga, science, progressive politics, and dachshunds. (yeah, I know. I have a cool mom.) Where should she find her home?
I've checked out the @FediTips guide, which is great. Just looking for more personal recommendations.

🧶🧶🧶 FINALLY back in the saddle with knitting. Nasty old shoulder injury cropped up about a month ago. Ugh, soooo painful.
Started this new Stephen West shawl, #Icelandscape, only to realize I don't have enough yardage of colors, so am subbing in some solid sections which should work fine. It's good to have needles back in my hands, and to be back with all y'all!!

Balls of yarn in wicker basket with gauge and guide strip in garter stitch, bright apple green eyeglass case
View a bit pulled back, showing dark purple bands
Close up, 8 color bands in moss stitch

Hi Spencer, welcome 👋
If you want an easy-to-understand guide to how this place works, have a look at the website https://fedi.tips (especially the section marked "Quick Start").
Please feel free to ask if you want help with anything specific, I am trying to provide unofficial tech support on here 🙂
RE: https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips/115951929075113659
if you’re new here, @FediTips are a very good first follow. they're indispensable for columbusing the nooks and crannies of the #fediverse.
but do you know what are really wonderful follows?
HASHTAGS
i follow dozens of them like #sewing #crafts #embroidery. am known as a political commentator but i have a whole other life with #fiberArts and i’ve found wonderful folks thru those tags.
the fediverse doesn’t have techbro algorithms boxing you into a category.
ENJOY!

I spent some time this morning at a knitting group that takes place at our library. We're all post-menopausal women with no fucks left to give & we talked about the advantages of wearing wool when protesting outside in cold weather. And we agreed the folks in Minnesota are metal.

@SueNeu I saw another article go around about her some time ago but didn’t catch that she wrote this book. What an interesting woman. #fiberarts #feminism
