Hello everyone, as a member of the r/tiki subreddit for quite a long time, and after the Reddit drama, I figured why not give the tiki folks a place to share in the fediverse. This community is unapologetically inspired by r/tiki as you may have noticed from the description and guidelines. I can only hope for those who jump ship from Reddit can feel they have a safe harbor here.

Cool! I only discovered the whole “tiki” culture thing a couple years ago when I built my tiki bar in the back yard and started researching it. Now I’m totally getting into it. I’m not a big drinker, but I do like fruit drinks and a relaxed vibe wherever I’m at. And hawaiian shirts are fun. I’ve always been a huge fan of polynesian art and culture. So that kind of fits.
I haven’t been to any tiki bars in real life except for The Secret Island. We’ve got kids, and it’s tough to get time away for just the two of us.
