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 found my crafting niche on Instagram, but its definitely not to everyone's tastes! I mainly sew clothes, and there are loosely organised fests, like Me Made May, with a hashtag that you follow. The fests are usually hosted by a blogger - and that's how you find useful blogs. I'm just easing into a little crafting community on Instagram, and it might turn out to be just your thing?

Yeah, I use Instagram for knitting updates and suchlike. But there's also Ravelry for community. I guess I'm looking for that community feel?

I will try to give Instagram more of a shot.
