I’ve already started seeing a lot of redundant communities being made here that have already existed on other Lemmy instances, and lemmy.ml is at risk of centralization and overload, so now is a great time to raise awareness of other instances.
For science topics, mander.xyz has a lot of good ones set up, and !solarpunk@slrpnk.net on slrpnk.net has been great!
edit: for new users - you can type ! to begin autofilling a community, even for ones on other instances, like I did for the solarpunk community above. It may take a few seconds for the autofill results to show up if you have a slow connection like me.
Of course! This is new to me, we’re all just getting started. There are going to be growing pains all over the place, hell maybe I didn’t set something up right. It’s new, we’re having fun :)
I heard “were having fun” in a very Troy Lavallee voice.
