- According to browse.feddit.de, this is the largest community for showcasing electronics projects, the last post is almost one month old.

- Despite the usual criticism of mirroring bots, the way that the fediverser tool works is showing to actually help interaction. In the past two weeks, I’m seeing an above average increase of subscriber and (more importantly) user count on communities like [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected]
