I'll participate in s/simpleliving when it comes up. Another option would be to post that kind of content on the clone I'm going to make of the sub I run r/weirdcollapse. That would free you up to start another hobby sub, because I think you only start like a sub a week or something like that.

Is weirdcollapse about societal collapse?

It is, but with some twists. Here's our sidebar

If you're cursed to live in interesting times, you might as well notice the interesting stuff. . . Doom for people who don't actually hate people . . . Check out the writings and explorations of Ran Prieur at http://www.ranprieur.com/

Basically, most people on the sub think that collapse is happening, but it won't go down the way most people imagine. I think that the super-wealthy are going to be able to keep and expand sci-fi like technologies while leaving the rest of us in the dust.

It looks like Ran Prieur is going to be sucked up by current politics and then the election, so it might be a while before he's back on his game, but he thinks a lot about the future.

Other than that, we have a regular poster who is trying to show what the future of agriculture will need to be like if we can't get our hands on cheap oil, and several people contribute links about technologies, urban development, and even how-to on local crafts and trades. It's a place for weirdos, many of them a bit left-leaning (and many too far disenchanted with political authority to correctly be called left or right), but not much woke-scolding.

Ah that makes sense. Interesting stuff, I was subbed to a bit of content like that
