It took a while to build momentum, but the typo.social instance is now generating a steady stream of type, lettering and design related content. The community feed is so focused that I mostly don’t feel the need to follow individual members.

Traditional Tatar literature is virtually inaccessible for modern Tatars for a similar reason. Till the 20th c we used to be a Persianate culture, so being "educated" implied a decent knowledge of Farsi (at least) and Arabic (ideally). You needed to be at least bilingual
