What's your hobby or hobbies?

My hobbies are making things, growing things, and learning things.

It's the only way I can keep it to only 3 hobbies.

Making things, mostly.

Lots of crafts like knitting, crochet, cross stitch, sewing, felting, origami, faffing about with clay, etc etc. And gamedev which I basically think of as the same sort of hobby because it's just making a different sort of thing.

Making YouTube videos about all of the above, in defiance of the algorithm gods.

Reading any and all scifi I can get my hands on, plus the Discworld series just over and over again endlessly on a loop.

Also the amount of time I spend on Mastodon and Lemmy probably means it counts as a rather lame hobby at this point...

For years my main hobby was guitar but in the last year I started cross stitching and I am now hopelessly addicted to it lol! I never would have guessed that would be a hobby I'd take up but I saw a pattern I liked and decided to try it once and have been doing it ever since!

D&D, 3d printing, pen turning (making pens from wood and resin, not flipping them around on my fingers), MTG, and I dabble in woodworking and occasional metal working.

FYI: 3d printing pairs really well with D&D - minis, scenery, accessories, etc. Start with a cheap SLA resin printer to print minis on, then expand to filament when you’re ready to do scenery too. I have a resin printer and two filament printers.

Same as yours, but instead of cultivating them, I spend my time doomscrolling.

In no particular order:

Writing

Video games

Karaoke

Commenting on Lemmy

16h of videogames a day... I'm learning to crochet but I'm not doing as much as I should

Maker stuff in general: Woodworking, 3D Printing (including a bit of single-part CAD), laser engraving, even Cricut. Recent projects have been all about handwired keyboards, which combines several of those, and finally got me to learn just enough soldering to get by. Woodworking is currently in a lull, but it's always the one I go back to and the one taking up the most space in the garage. I really do need to make that desk I've been planning for a decade, though. The Ikea trestle table has seen better days.

Oh, some light gaming (rocking an ebay RX580 on a second-gen Ryzen 5 which I massaged to be able to run Starfield enjoyably enough at 1080p), fountain pens, the aforementioned keyboards, fantasy/sci-fi media, and I'm possibly outside the usual Lemmy demographic a bit in following football (soccer) and football (gridiron) !cfb@fanaticus.social .

chess

reading

watching tv shows

is the gym and running a hobby? Idk, I also do that

Synthesizers/sound design, music from extreme metal to baroque to pop, learning about anything that interests me (e.g. geography, geopolitics, world history, pop science level physics/astrophysics/paleoanthropology, religions and philosophy), the Godzilla franchise, terrible horror movies, Pathfinder 1E, and a voyeuristic curiosity surrounding conspiracy theories/the paranormal/the occult

I do sports shooting and I cycle a lot on my road bike

All the things you mentioned, except while replacing biking with what amounts to cryptography.

Solo game developer (and fellow ADHD-haver) here. I do the coding, 3d modelling, animations, and even a little bit of sound design. It's all incredibly time-consuming though.

Trying to not become homeless in the USA while having cancer.

Mostly video games and programming. I spend a lot of time working on programming side projects. It's often kinda like playing a puzzle video game.

Judo and lifting weights ❤️

I make music, primarily, but i also bounce a lot. I really love writing, which comes easier than music tho i do it less. Past that hiking is like an "as often as possible or my mind will break" thing. Even our tiny local park is nice for this purpose, but i try to get around as much as im able. I like corrupting the advertisements i get in the mail with sharpies and make them look more blinging. And satanic. Or perverted.

I make music - mostly black metal, I play a lot of Blood on the Clocktower, and I'm a software developer who likes contributing to open source outside of work.

Hiking, video games, reading, climbing, manga/manhwa

I've taken up crochet for a while now and it seems to be a keeper (I tend to flit between hobbies a lot). I guess what makes this different is that a lot of the things I make are for others. My daughter loves the bracelets I make for her (the ones I'm not keeping for myself :) And recently I made a little bunny as a going away present. Having a goal like that is a great motivator.
I hope it'll stick, because I do love it as a hobby. There's still so much to learn.

Knitting, rowing, beekeeping, walking, photography, computers (tinkering, running websites for other people), reading. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with activities, and lately I've not done as much photography as I'd like. But I really enjoy everything I do - I have a great bunch of friends with overlapping interests.

Flying airplanes. It's a great community and I've made life-long friends, gone to some amazing places and seen awesome things. My daughter just got me back into SCUBA diving also because she wanted to get certified.

My main hobby is critical listening (aka listening to music like a pseudo-audiophile)

Some other hobbies I have include watching cartoons, music production (still really bad at it), and collecting old electronics.

Video games, hiking, running, gardening, puzzles by myself, and board games when I can find a group to play with.

Fermentation! (sourdough, beer, cider, veggies, used to yogurt, some day cheese)

3d printing (mostly functional, but some fun parts. I'm really trying to understand the boundaries so I can push them.)

i write, short stories mostly existential horror, and "essays" about anything i find interesting (that really just means i ramble about things i find interesting for several hundred-1000+ words on tumblr); also i made and maintain a personal website, i make mods and themes for things other people make cuz i don't code enough to make anything of my own; sometimes i make videos but i'm generally too shy to do that regularly; i play video games; i collect plushies; and i recentlyish picked up making pixel art

i also want to get into crochet, cooking, and gardening but my time with those has so far mostly just been using social media to see what other people do. i mean i cook but wouldn't classify how i do cooking as a hobby lol

i have adhd too, also i'm agoraphobic, and in addition to ideally being able to orbit around several hobbies i also just need things to fill in my time since i don't get outside very often

I have two jobs so some reading is all I can manage time wise. I'm jealous of your hobbies.

ADHD kept me from being able to engage. I don’t get a reward out of it so basically don’t have hobbies.

• ethical philosophy

• artisanal videogame design

• poetry

• cycling

• home improvement

Reading, In-Person Roleplaying Games, Disc Golf, and Writing.

Before kid: Reading, astronomy, cross-fit, nail polish, coloring, playing the Sims, cross-stitching, DnD.

After kid: Sleeping, DnD, cross-stitching, and a little tiny bit of astronomy (involves bargaining with spouse).

Writing and developing original characters. Usually I have 0 motivation to write short stories for them, but I have endless inspiration that I jot down in my notes. I also like rewatching my favourite shows and movies (lately that has been The Office US and Breaking Bad).

Edit: maybe it doesn’t count as a hobby, but lately I’ve been finding myself trying to be more outward and daring. Carefully testing my limits socially and stuff like that. And I do feel good about how more straightforward and confident I’ve become.

Writing poems, stories, playing games, singing, listening to any kinds of music, or just basically anything that would kill time
