Community update: Links in the sidebar, what do you say?
I added a limited selection of links to (what I consider) interesting Lemmy communities, in the sidebar.
As a fountain pen user myself, the !fountainpens@lemmy.world seemed quite obvious. Note that I would love to add a link to a Bic/ballpoint pen, pencil, and to other writing implements communities, if you know any or feel like creating a new one :)
The !pkms@lemmy.blahaj.zone is all about Personal Knowledge Management which, in its own unique way, a journal can also be. If you’re wondering, next to my journal I also write a lot in my Zetellkasten and yep, like my journal it is an analog one: after many years and many attempt trying and trying again to be full digital I decided it was time to fully commit to analog.
!artshare@lemmy.world and !watercolor@lemmy.ml are all about posting art. I don’t know about you, but I like art books a lot and I also like to look at art online. I also sketch in my journal and even though I'm no artist, I like that a lot. I find it inspiring to look at the work of others.
Are there other communities that you would like to suggest? It goes without saying but better be clear: no politics, no hate, no porn. Only stuff that you think relates to journaling in some way. Do you know a community around office supply or notebooks or a community dedicated to sketching, maybe?
What do you think about having those links? Is it a ‘Yeah!’ or is it a ‘Nay’?
Keep in mind this is only a proposition, let your voice be heard :)
Edit: in case you did not noticed it, I also slightly updated the rules/description.
I think adding those links is a fantastic idea! It’s great to see communities like fountain pens, PKM, and art share being highlighted—they really resonate with the journaling crowd and add a lot of value. I’d definitely say “Yeah!” to this proposition.

As for suggestions, maybe a link to a community around calligraphy or hand lettering would fit well? Those seem like natural complements to journaling. And if there’s one for notebooks and stationery reviews, I know that’d spark interest for a lot of folks here too.
Thanks for updating the rules and keeping things clear and inclusive. It’s shaping up to be a very inspiring and well-rounded space. 😊
