I started this early in the recent popularity of reddit alternatives, as I didn’t see any other cycling communities. I don’t really want (or have time) to be a mod, and it seems there are other more active cycling communities
I’ll give it a couple of days, but if there’s not strong sentiment to keep a separate community here on lemmy.world, I’ll close it down
edit: staying open, though we’ll see if activity picks up
You could see if someone else wants to mod if you didn’t want to straight up close it.
open to any volunteers
I would also mod if you want.
Thanks! How do you feel about @Justahousecat idea about text only?
That seems like the easiest way to set it up. I’m ok with whatever the group decides though.
done! you’re a mod now!
I’m open to it. I used to mod a reddit community that is about 500k subscribers and I’d like to keep /c/cycling text only so that there is a place for discussions that don’t get drowned out by new bike day posts. All the pics can go on /c/bicycling
Not sure I’m 100% down with that. I see where you’re coming from, and I agree those types of posts, as well as some of the Strava screenshot posts are kind of meh, but I do think some odd images add value. For instance, dangerous intersections/infrastructure. Though on second thought, a thousand posts of cars in bike lanes gets a little tiresome.
We could do a poll or something.
I definitely couldn’t mod if we had to be enforcing rules. Would still be interested if it weren’t a text only community?
I definitely would still be interested in modding. I’m good with a poll too. Not sure how many responses we’ll get but it’s probably good to take a pulse of how everyone feels.

Having the separate text-only and image/text communities worked well back on reddit
