Hi folks, are you hoping anyone picks up the torch and makes a community on here? How about a wishlist? Hopefully this will give a poke to others with mutual interest and to support some collaboration!

Running these things is not hard, a fun hobby and due to the nature of the Fediverse, rather laid back. Do not be afraid to try and take control of your content. This is what this place is about. You have agency here. If you have and idea and would like help with starting a community, raise your hand here!

I’ll start:

  • Wild Green Memes for Ecological Fiends
  • Palaeontology
  • Climate
  • Meteorology
  • Volcanism
  • Entomology
  • Oceans
  • PlantClinic
  • Hydrology
  • History of Science
  • Open Science
  • Digital Humanities
  • Ferns
  • Orchids

    I wouldn’t mind seeing some of these:

    • Succulents
    • Ornithology
    • Nootropics
    • Ask Science
    • Nature Appreciation (general/casual, amateur photos, hiking, etc)

    I also very much miss r/goblincore, but I feel like that miiight be a stretch for this server

      Friend goblin, it is good to see you!

      I will add a hyper-specific community suggestion; Fantastic Sticks.

        Someone made it! Thank you so much. It was one of my favourite places online.

        And Kerfuffle wrote the perfect sidebar. An excerpt for the curious:

        “In this cozy corner of the internet, goblincore enthusiasts come together to celebrate the beauty found in the everyday oddities and treasures of nature and the natural world. Inspired by folklore, fantasy, and a touch of mischief, Goblincore Lemmy embodies a love for all things wild, untamed, and delightfully peculiar.”

        “Within this community, you’ll find a diverse group of individuals who share a deep appreciation for the charm of gnarled tree roots, moss-covered rocks, peculiar mushrooms, and the hidden wonders of the forest floor. They revel in embracing a simpler, earth-centered existence, finding joy in foraging, gardening, and crafting with repurposed materials.”

        Not so much science, but a massive overlap for those who are also here for the love of nature.

          You’re welcome! I was looking myself and thought I’d help others

      I was on goblincore too! I’m too high strung to take care of a community but I’d joing it if it exists.
