A short, curated guide — not an automatic related dump. Figures come from SubMouse's safe-for-work directory when we have them.
r/lego (about 2.8M members, directory rank #395) covers reports, news, pics and discussions from the studded LEGO world. Blocky game builds, finished handmade projects and painted miniatures each have clearer homes when the medium is not LEGO.
Stay on lego for sets, MOCs and LEGO news. Use Minecraft for in-game builds, somethingimade for finished handmade objects, and minipainting for painted tabletop miniatures.
