    Nobody in my k-12 had a fountain pen cartrige or otherwise. Now I’m all about them though, r/fountainpens is one if the only things I miss about reddit

      I know there’s a lot of hate on lemmy for it, but if you’re missing r/fountainpens there’s some thriving fountain pen communities on discord that have really helped me get over losing the sub in reddit’s fall from grace usability

      penposium (Most active, also probably the most misanthropic casual)

      r/pens (Most users and a great resource for identifying obscure pens)

      pendemic (often do fun group buys and similar)

      Stationary Anonymous (General stationary, not just pens)

      There’s also Fountain Pen Network if you prefer the oldschool forum feeling, though it’s much less close-knit of a community than the discords (imo).
