c/bistitchual is a hobbyist textile community based on the popular subreddit of the same name. All needlecrafts are welcome, but it has a particular focus on:
- Utilizing multiple techniques in the same project (i.e. knitted sweater with tatted trim).
- Techniques too obscure to sustain their own dedicated community (i.e. nalbinding).
My prior Lemmy instance (lemmy.one) is abandoned and slowly losing functionality, and I had to find somewhere new to move, so I figured… why not PieFed? I like if so far! Seems to be playing well with the other thread platforms, hopefully I’m doing it right.
Feel free to post your work if you get back into textiles again!
PieFed is pretty seamless when it comes to federation in my experience. And it’s also adding new features at a rapid pace, including some that Lemmy doesn’t even have yet. I think you made a good choice.
Btw, nice community name :) Having a clever name is surprisingly helpful when it comes to growing communities.
What is the PieFed?

It’s another link aggregator that’s part of the fediverse, just like Lemmy or Mbin.
