I’d love a Nature is Fucking Lit community over here on Lemmy. I just saw the cutest post on Reddit there and I’d love to spread it or see it over here. (I look at reddit without a profile while at my work computer sometimes, don’t judge me lol).

Think I should post it to the lemmy.world one to revive that one? Looks like that hasn’t been active in a few months.

I also wonder if it’s better to use this opportunity when it’s possibly dead to revive the community somewhere else? Like maybe mander.xyz since nature is connected to science or something? Or maybe the solar punk instance? Is there a better place someone can think of or should we stick to the Lemmy.world one?

What do people think?

    Hello!

    You can post them on [email protected], they will fit with the other content there, and that community already has a bit of a following. Should be easier than restarting the LW community or starting another community from scratch.

    If at some point there is too much content (which would be a nice issue to have ha ha), we can always split communities later.

      I think this may be the best idea so far actually. I’m not sure I have the time or passion to revive a dead community or start a new one, at least not for this particular subject.

      Although I appreciate the other ideas of where to put that community if it ever does get big enough to split off.

    LW is too big for it’s own good. Admins have to take care of a lot of stuff and centralisation itself isn’t that great for lemmy/fediverse either. I say create a new one on different instance. I think mander is more scientific when solarpunk is more progressive?? I have a feeling that it would fit mander more where people know their stuff could see and comment on the posts.

      Seems like I forgot to mention that you should do it if you’re confident in posting there from time to time. Otherwise there will be 2 dead communities instead of one.

    Sounds like that would be welcome on slrpnk.net as long as you don’t plan to set up a Reddit repost bot or something like that. Also note our 5mb image upload limit and currently our pictrs image back end does not allow animated media (gifs/video) but I would be willing to look into changing that setting for small files (storage is not unlimited).
