Nicest threads on MN? Looking for a fun, friendly board

[blazinglightonthehill]

Hi and happy new year.

After finding myself getting sucked into debates on various boards (coronavirus, AIBU, chat ) I've realised I'm tired of it. I don't need it. Even parenting has some full on stressy threads tonight.

I LOVE the Christmas boards, I've joined a thread on the what we're reading board in a bid to read 26 books this year.

I like all sorts of things and am willing to try new things. After a year of crap I just want "nice".

Recommend me your happy MN place...I won't be able to join the Christmas bargains and poncing until September so I need something else!

Thank you

Telly addicts is quite chilled I think and I find the housekeeping threads nice and down to earth.

I agree about the AIBU and Coronavirus boards. Posters often ask MNHQ to come up with a hide topic feature but I don't think they've done it yet.

No, I'm not able to hide them. I'll take a look at housekeeping.

Telly addicts I like but then I worry about spoilers because I'm always on catch up

I lurk on it far more than I post, but the royal style threads on style and beauty are light and happy on the whole.

Actually I say you can't hide topics but apparently you can on the desktop version of MN. There's a thread on Site stuff about it. (Not helpful if you're on the mobile app I'm afraid.)

Thank you. Off for a browse!

The craft thread is a gentle place to be.......not much controversy there.

@Rustyigloo I got a Christmas cross stitch and aim to finish it by Christmas 2021....I'm there

Oooh lovely. Love a crosstitch.

I'm planning on learning freemotion embroidery. I managed to take some lovely photos of local landscapes over lockdown so would like to recreate them on fabric.

Weather is always good. And you'll feel smug when you have a heads up about snow and storms when everyone else is running around like a headless chicken.

I've just started a thread in UK travel. Seems appropriate if we're ever allowed to travel again.

I would never have thought to look at weather!

What are your interests? Gardening / food / pets...? Or look at Classics. By the way, I look at MN on my mobile browser and I can hide topics.

Telly addicts is a nice a chilled board, plus you can chat to people in real time if you're all watching the same programme together

Did anyone suggest the style and beauty board? I sometimes wander around there looking at posts about nice things like mascaras when I need time out from the real world (pandemic, bereavement, parenting etc etc)
