A new community of the typosphere: [email protected]

There's a new place in the Lemmyverse for the community of typewriter lovers: [email protected].

This community is dedicated to blogs and websites which publish scans of typewritten pages, a.k.a. typecasts. And if you want to publish a typecast directly uploading a photo of a page you typed, you can!

[email protected] will welcome posts about typewriters; [email protected] posts written with typewriters; and posts written with and about typewriters will be welcomed on both!

Below, the list of the content I intend to share; if you think something is missing, I'll add it with pleasure!
