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

    • There are 8500 different programming communities, but maybe something TRULY Computer Science oriented (more mathy side, rather than dev / engineer oriented), possibly including Artificial Intelligence, but I’m thinking like papers, not r/singularity rip offs.
    • Also maybe something about FOSS Science (like to discuss packages such as AstroPy, ROpenScience etc).
    • I was also thinking like a tech sustainability form (combining tech + plants. robotic vertical farming, “Open Source Ecology”), not sure if that necessarily fits with the spirit of mander or not :)
    • Bloodbeech Forest

      I would love this as well. I want to add also some more foundational/philosophical oriented topics like foundational physics and mathematics, and philosophy of science (or natural philosophy as Sean Carroll likes to call it).
