If anyone would like to help me set up these communities and/or mod, please get in touch. This place is what we make it and I’d love some fresh ideas. I mod a number of smaller science subreddits and would like to help make this place just as nice, if not better!

I've been admiring all of your work around here, and will post plant content as I generate it. Question: Is there a Lemmy equivalent for whatisthisplant yet? If not, should it live on this instance?

Also, I've been thinking that this instance would look good with a beekeeping community. So should I just, like, create one?

Hi, this is a housplant general community. We've started a plant ID one here: !plantid@mander.xyz . Working on a bot this weekend. :)

Please make a beekeeping community here! The great thing about Lemmy is that you can have a few different beekeeping communities, and you can pick the ones you like or make your own. They're more like clubs than institutions.

I’m part of a different instance but I think I’m still able to mod on other instances? I’ve done only a very small amount of moderating and am not sure how much time I’d be able to put in - but I would potentially be interested!

No experience is required, just a love of plants and a bit of time when you have it. These communities are pretty easy. :)

I mod 3 small communities. If you still want help, I will pitch in.
