Discord servers have been amazing for me! Search for servers related to your specific craft (e.g., 'watercolor painting', 'pottery'). Many have channels for WIP feedback, challenges, and just chatting. Reddit subreddits are also good for finding these communities.

Platform like DeviantArt still have active groups though its not what it used to be. Behance is good for more professional networking. For casual skill share, specific forums for your craft often have tight-knit communities if you can find them.

I joined a few Facebook groups for my hobby. Some are better than others. Look for ones with active admins and clear rules about self-promotion vs sharing. It takes some trial and error to find a good fit.

Have you considered researching platforms like Facebook, Reddit, or Discord? But are those communities genuinely active? It often depends on the group dynamics... You might want to check reviews or testimonials before joining. Also, how do you ensure that the feedback you receive is constructive? It could be worth exploring niche-specific forums too, but are they really fostering collaboration? Just be cautious about oversharing your work...
