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.

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.

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 😊

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

[–] fracture@beehaw.org 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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?

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 3 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Thanks for asking, it's really decent of you. For now it's women only (although I really value positive men like you)

[–] Jean_le_Flambeur@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 5 points 2 days ago

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!

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 2 days ago

Thanks Blaze! Love supportive men ❤️

[–] fracture@beehaw.org 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

of course, thank you for the kind answer 😁 hope to see things take off here

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 3 points 2 days ago

Thanks mate... feel free to spread the word!

Gender is literally the point
