I’m a guy and this’ll be my only comment here but am wishing you the best! Always nice to see spaces for women.
Same! Best wishes with this new community @CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al!
Thanks mate! I’m so happy to see these supportive comments from men I didn’t expect it! Really appreciated
Awhile ago, someone made a post listing communities targeted at women. All of the communities are now dead, since the poster listed only kbin.social communities and kbin.social went down. I did continue a community listed there at !otomegames@ani.social, but I do not know about if the other communities have been recreated on other instances. However, the reason I bring this up is because I think it might be useful to have a similar post here. Grow the Fediverse and all that.

Good idea, women should support other women
Alright, went looking for active versions of the communities listed in that post.
- !girlgamers@lemmy.world exists but is very dead
- !sanrio_kawaii@lemmy.ml, but a lot of people have issues with lemmy.ml. I try to avoid it personally.
- There are several Animal Crossing communities. The most recently active one I found is: !acnh@lemmy.world. There is also !animal_crossing@lemmy.world and !animalcrossing@lemmy.world, both dead. There are a few more but with nowhere near as big a following.
- And of course, !otomegames@ani.social, active, run by me (games about romancing dudes, aimed at women, community also currently allows amare games which are romance games aimed at a more diverse audience due to how they can overlap and how tiny Fedi is for otome and amare)
I also submit some communities for interests traditionally considered feminine, though I realize not all women would participate in these and other genders participate too. All are active unless mentioned otherwise.
- !crochet@lemmy.ca
- !knitting@lemmy.world
- !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works
- !bistitchual@sh.itjust.works
- !52weeksofbaking@lemmy.world is now dead and looking for someone to take it over
- !journaling@sh.itjust.works
- !infinitynikki@discuss.tchncs.de (open-world gacha game explicitly aimed at women)
- !otomeisekai@lemmy.world (manga genre aimed at women where someone gets transported from the real world into that of a stereotypical otome game—not actually a great representation of otome games, we don’t have villainesses trying to get in the way of your romance usually and we aren’t always in medieval fantasy settings, but still enjoyable to this otome player. Very dead, might gain some activity soon)
If women post about these things here I highly encourage them to crosspost to the hobby community too. I am definitely not the only woman who isn’t following this community. I don’t plan to engage here aside from these two comments. (Nothing against you or other women, I don’t hold “there is no patriarchy” beliefs, but this community does allow discussion on more depressing topics than I want to engage with on my online funtime, such as patriarchy and probably sexism.) I hope this proves a fruitful and fun place for the women who do subscribe to the community :) good luck!
That’s a great list thanks 😊
Would this be welcome too: women venting about their partners, talking about medical problems/conditions women have (even sex-related), birth control, bras and how they fit, parenthood, etc.? Just getting a feel for the place.
100% whatever women want to talk about is ok (although obviously no hating on groups, we’re trans inclusive etc). Women’s voices on all topics are welcome 😊
do you mind men participating as long as they don’t center the space on themselves, or do you not want them to participate at all?
Thanks for asking, it’s really decent of you. For now it’s women only (although I really value positive men like you)
Does this extend to reading/joining the community without posting liking etc. As well or is reading okay?
I know one can’t really enforce this but I would like to respect it if you say men shouldnt be here and read.
I’m honestly blown away by you asking, it’s really respectful. You’re welcome to read, only if women did ask for it to be more locked down, that might change. But liking and reading is fine 🙂
Good luck with this community, it looks really promising!
Thanks Blaze! Love supportive men ❤️
of course, thank you for the kind answer 😁 hope to see things take off here
Thanks mate… feel free to spread the word!
… pointlessly gendered?
Gender is literally the point
