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...

Finding a truly active and supportive online community as a remote crafter or artist can feel tricky, but it’s a common challenge many face. One way to connect beyond the usual platforms is to look for workshops or live streaming sessions hosted by artists you admire. These often have chat features where participants share work and ideas in real time, creating a more dynamic exchange. Another tip is to start your own small group focused on your craft niche—sometimes building your own space invites others who want the same authentic connection. Lastly, consider communities tied to local art organizations or co-ops that have moved online—they often keep collaboration and feedback at their core.

How we moderate answers

We manually review all contributions to ensure that every answer provides clear, actionable, and professionally relevant guidance. We prioritize responses that show practical experience, cite real examples, or demonstrate familiarity with hiring, skills, and job-market trends. Low-quality, duplicate, or AI-generated content that lacks substance is filtered out to maintain accuracy and credibility across the platform.

What makes a high-quality answer

A high-quality answer offers structured, practical, and experience-based guidance that directly addresses the question. Strong answers include specific steps, industry examples, tools or frameworks, and clear reasoning rather than vague opinions. They avoid emotional language, personal journaling, or lifestyle advice, and instead focus on skills, responsibilities, hiring expectations, resumes, interviews, salary insights, and career transitions. Answers written by individuals with verified professional backgrounds or direct experience in the field are prioritized.

Expert participation rules

Experts participating in Q&A must base their answers on real professional experience, not speculation or generic statements. Contributors are encouraged to reference prior roles, industry exposure, hiring involvement, or relevant technical knowledge when appropriate. All expert responses must remain objective, neutral, and career-focused, avoiding promotional content, personal anecdotes, or lifestyle guidance. Verified experts may receive enhanced visibility on the platform, but only if their contributions consistently meet our quality standards and align with Jobicy’s career-focused topic guidelines.

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.
