Where did everyone go?

I've been searching around and I've found a couple of still-updating quilting blogs, but many more from ~2011 that just... vanished. I'm used to that sort of thing, I've been online since ~1997, I understand folks move platforms, but I'm not sure where everyone went to.

Where did sewing and/or quilting move? Craftsy? It seems unwieldy, but I'm used to ravelry and new things are weird. And I really, really do not understand Pinterest. (It comes across like craft tumblr, honestly.)

Since this is a cry for help, the specifics: I've started quilting and would like online resources. Preferably ones updated within the last 5 years? But I'll take what I can get. And if there are relevant blogs to follow or some way of wrangling social media, that would be super rad.

As always, if this isn't cool here, I will happily remove or change the post.

I've mostly found sewing blogs via Pinterest, but none of them seem to have that community feel. There's good tutorials, though, and also on Youtube.

Oh yes. I have definitely looked up specific techniques on Youtube for both knitting and sewing. The ability to replay the same 10 seconds is a life saver.

I will keep poking at Pinterest, there is good stuff there and also a lot of stuff that is not to my tastes.
