Where are some good places to read zines? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

All I can find online are tutorials for how to make one, which is fine, but I also want to actually read and curate as well. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure I can help, but I'm curious if you mean zines, like physical, small, homebrew publications?

internet Archive zine collection. They have a few.

There's a giant trove of them on the Internet Archive. Happy reading!!

Check your local indie and alternative coffeeshops, bookstores, and record shops. Find the weirdest highschooler you know and ask them, for good measure.

Since the Internet Archive has already been suggested, you might also want to check out the Queer Zine Archive Project

The best way for things like that is subscribing, most have so few readers they don't get scanned. If you can find somewhere a list of zines for your interest and sub to a few, that's what I'd recommend. Long live print anyway!
