A short, curated guide — not an automatic related dump. Figures come from SubMouse's safe-for-work directory when we have them.
r/crochet (about 2.0M members, directory rank #556) is for crocheters to share work, discuss, swap ideas and support each other (questions are pointed to a sister help room in its description). Sewing, broad crafts and finished DIY showcases fit better when the medium is not crochet.
Noisy directory related names unrelated to fibre crafts are omitted.
Stay on crochet for hook projects and crochet community. Use sewing for garment and needle-thread work, crafts for mixed craft how-tos, and somethingimade for finished-project showcases across media.
