Slow & Simple Living Forums & Communities Online (List)

Join the Slow & Simple Living Forums & Online Communities •

As much as I’m an advocate for digital minimalism and digital declutter experiments, I got sucked into a Reddit rabbit hole over the weekend. In the past, I would just be a lurker and consumer of Reddit, but I finally decided to join and begin to contribute and create (you can find me at reddit.com/user/slowwco).

Slow & Simple Living Forums on Reddit:

There’s a robust simple living forum that’s 8 years old with 111K subscribers. On the flip side, there’s a virtually nonexistent slow living forum that’s 6 years old with under 100 subscribers. There’s also a slow movement forum with 500 subscribers.

If you’re interested, I created two public multireddits (a collection of subreddits on a similar topic) for slow living:

reddit.com/me/m/slowliving/ (49 subreddits)
reddit.com/me/m/slowlivingfocus/ (25 subreddits)

The subreddits included cover topics like anti-consumption, declutter, degrowth, digital minimalism, downshifting, various topics on Stoicism, ethical living, mindfulness, minimalism, simple and slow living, self-sufficiency, voluntary simplicity, zen and much more.

Slow & Simple Living Groups on Facebook:

There are a bunch of Facebook Groups on these topics. Most are Closed Groups, so you will need to request access to join. Here are some I’ve found to get you started:

Becoming Unbusy (144,000 members)

Slow & Simple Living Lists on Twitter:

I built these Twitter Lists and continue to actively add to them:

Of course, there are other places outside of Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter to engage with like-minded people:
