Thanks for the vintage ads shoutout.

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

[-] crimeschneck@feddit.nl 2 points 1 week ago

Added to "Other".

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 6 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

Nice list,

Maybe !history@mander.xyz could be added?

[-] crimeschneck@feddit.nl 3 points 1 week ago

Added right after the lemmy.world history community.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

There’s also !old_maps@mander.xyz !

[-] crimeschneck@feddit.nl 1 points 1 week ago

Added right after historyillustrations.

[-] HomeAwayFromHone@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 1 week ago

!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.
