Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
-
πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

MODERATORS
Or 3D-printing!
Psh! Unless you're constantly buying the newest machine every year, 3d printing isn't that expensive of a hobby. Not compared to shit like golfing or being a car guy or ATV/snowmobiling
it is when you factor in the amount of time you use it, just to let it collect dust afterwards.
Well, why aren't you using it?
If you're not using it, it's not a hobby. Buying shit you don't use is just consumerism.
Arghs, wrong community, sorry. Thought we where in an ADHD related topic, where buying new (and expensive) things just to loose interest shortly after is pretty common. This comic was posted there already multiple times.

Me and selfhosting :3
Self-hosting is calling to me right now... I've been watching videos on it for the last couple of nights. I fear it's too late for me.
Tbf, it CAN be pretty cheap, depending on where you live (or what you got available at home), all things considered. Might even save you some money in the long run from not having to pay subscriptions.
I have a cluster of $100 Lenovo mini PCs that I've been using for 5 years now. The hobby doesn't have to be expensive.
Until you get to storage. I'll admit, I dropped $4500 on VM and Media storage a few years back. But that should still last me a few more years before that fills up!

Astro-Photography.... quality of yoyr pictures is:
10% skill 90% how much you spend on equipment.

Cooking is a cheap, easy to start hobby with endless possibilities for development.
"Cooking is a cheap" how costly is groceries at your place?
On the assumption that you need to feed yourself regardless, cooking as a hobby can be really cheap, since worst-case you only spend whatever you'd have spent on food anyway. You might even end up saving money!
I do understand the bit of needing to feed myself and all, but just randomly going up and cooking is sadly not something I can afford Which is quite f-ed, I like to knead bread loaf
Can you explain? Is it cheaper to eat out / eat processed foods than buy groceries to cook? I've never lived in a place with that situation, but I understand it's a possibility.

Being more relative to itself from a few years ago doesn't mean groceries are objectively expensive. Especially if you're buying ingredients and not premade shit- that's where most of the increase has gone
Cheaper than any other way of eating. Single McDonald's for me and my partner costs the same as 4 to 5 home cooked meals.

Here's why bread making is the best hobby:
-
Minimal equipment and ingredients to get started
-
Amount of time is up to you. You can select a recipe that suits your needs. Plus you can go and do other things while the dough proofs and cooks, so if you make a 3 hour loaf, you still get some of that time back.
-
Most of bread making is working on your skills and knowledge and is highly rewarding as a result
-
You make tasty bread that will either contribute to your weekly pantry or makes a great gift for others.
-
Store bought bread sucks ass. Once you start making your own, you'll never go back.

I think the people I feel for the most when it comes to hobbies are the ones who are into computers/games, guns, and Lego all at once. Those guys could make six figures and would still be fucking broke.
Video games are not that expensive IMO, unless you really want it to be. It's my main hobby, I certainly don't have a crazy income, but I still have enough games for several lifetimes. My bank account is not the limit here, my time is.
Sure, hardware cost might be a bit steep once in a while, but you don't really need to go for the cutting edge, and there is no point having everything on release either.
You can buy one game and put thousands and thousands of hours into it.
But pretty much all of us have games that we bought and have put exactly 0 hours into...

Activism and community organizing is a great affordable hobby. Canβt say itβs easy on the calendar though.
Did you know that the LD2410 can be wired directly into an ESP32 or equivalent because it operates at the 3V3 level and has an RTC GPIO that can be used as a wakeup pin? This is a huge upgrade from the LTR5-series of light sensing chips which all use the I2C protocol, because those need a UART chip on the device to handle the clock signal with a 5V open drain, despite being an easier 2-wire implementation. The send protocol of I2C slave devices are much simpler than the 1-wire or Dallas protocol used for multiplexing sensors, and relies on sending information bits in 60microsecond intervals when the clock bit is high, this ensures....
(don't drink coffee on the train)
$15.99 for two LD2410 is a bargain considering I've been looking a presence sensors for HA and they easily cost $60+ each. This is legitimately useful information!
Do you only need the ESP and presence sensor or is extra circuitry needed? I can probably print out some type of enclosure.

Well down the rabbit hole I now go. At least itβs not expensive. π
For some cheaper options drawing, writing, reading, used guitars have been much cheaper the last couple of years, chess, fishing, meditating, retro gaming, learn a new language, hiking, try to visit all the parks in your city/county/state, discussing hobbies online, etc.

I was like, βIβll just check out Kill Team, that way I can limit it to just the starter set and a few extra teams maybe, seems fun.β
Anyway, I just need one more Eliminator Squad with a Phobos Librarian and another Redemptor and Iβll be up to 3000 points of Blood Angels. Iβll be dead before theyβre all painted.
Aw c'mon, let the purple guy get addicted to skydiving.
I have always thought those little warhammer figuers look pretty fun to paint, and im sure theres like interesting backstory behind them too.

I got into target shooting. I really enjoy it, so much so that I actually felt like joining some competitions. My brain goes to research mode and I find out how much just booking time to train on active movement courses costs.
Yeah, I'll stick to plain ol lane shooting at the range, that's expensive enough.
