This is a great list. Vintage ads are one of my favourite things so love seeing it here.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for the vintage ads shoutout.

Not much content yet, but I recently made !archivalfootage@sh.itjust.works too

[–] crimeschneck@feddit.nl 2 points 11 months ago

Added to "Other".

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nice list,

Maybe !history@mander.xyz could be added?

[–] crimeschneck@feddit.nl 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Added right after the lemmy.world history community.

!straight_razors@sub.wetshaving.social is ...pretty niche. But yes, some of us still use straight razors. Often ones that are over a century old. And it's not as dangerous as you might assume--in fact an edge carefully honed by hand can be easier on the skin than what comes off a factory line wrapped in too much plastic.
