ALT.Life - A Directory of Alternative Lifestyle Communities on Steem @ 19 March 2019
Steem has some really good 'alternative lifestyle' related communities.
These include Homesteaders Co-op, Natural Medicine, Vegans of Steemit, EcoTrain, TribeSteemUp, Canna-Curate and Truth Decentralized.
There may well be others I haven't come across yet.
As part of my plan to promote alternative lifestyle communities on Steem to attract new 'ALT.lifers' onto the platform I have started compiling a directory of the communities.
The Directory of Alternative Lifestyle Communities on Steem @ 19 March 2019
Thank you everyone for the feedback on the first draft of the directory.
I believe I have incorporated everyone's comments and feedback. My apologies if I missed anything - please do message me again.
Here is the updated and more complete directory.
If you know of any other communities on Steem that should be added please let me know. Likewise with any amendments to the information below.
I have also recently started drawing together a list of homeschoolers and unschoolers on Steem. It would be really great if we could get a Un/Homeschooling community active on the platform. Anyone interested do let me know.

Love it, @pennsif! A couple small updates for next time:
I believe HSCO just announced their website in the discord.
A couple of the features of NM are the curation team and our archives of natural medicine that are available to members who make a small delegation.

That's a very good compilation. I am a member of 3 of these communities, though lately my contribution has been minimal due to some other engagements but all of them are fantastic and serves a very good purpose in spreading out the right messages for the greater good of people.
Glad you find the Directory useful.
