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.

Every time I look for an online quilting community, I find something with two active posters who aren't doing the sort of thing I'm doing. It's hard to generate a conversation.

The most activity I ever found was on mailing lists, back in the day. I know there is a sewing community on Pillowfort; I'm hoping that with the ease of sharing pictures and posting text, it will gain some traction.

Most of the quilters I know are just offline, and gather in groups in person, which is hard if you aren't in the same area or have the mobility or time to gather.
