@jakeblended A few of us have jumped to sunny.garden (small creative server) or wandering.shop (bit bigger, more general topic-wise apparently). And so far I've heard no complaints from either group about their choice.
But I know there are places like artsio.com, indiepocalypse.social and socel.net that some people have been considering, so those are definitely worth a look too.
Good luck! <3
@52square Ooh it looks like you have! There was an announcement at the top of my home feed last week saying it would shut down "by October 31st"
I think most of the really active people have alreaady moved just in case it goes down earlier. Some discussion of options on #ArtiChatMigrating #ArtiChatMigration
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news 😢
Looks like artisan.chat is shutting down so...
Hey #artichatmigrating #artichat #migration folks! 
Are you looking for a Mastodon server with those tasty animemes? Perhaps you've gone searching but found some...unsavory stuff... 
We created https://urusai.social as a safe, cozy, English-first home for happy weebs and all of our varied interests 
URUSAI! Social: All the otaku content. None of the toxicity.
Come join us in our mission to be wholesome 
@eve #ArtiChatMigrating is good!
I've chosen mastodon.art as our new home. I feel like it's a good fit for us, especially since most of the things we knit now are amigurumi plushies of our own pattern. I don't know how I would feel if we just knitted plain scarves or something. I also considered handmade.social, which is specifically for handmade shops.
It sucks to have to deal with this. :(
