As discoverability can sometimes be an issue, I thought it would be nice to share some of those

What's the deal with Mander xyz? I started seeing those communities being mentioned recently and they all are really good.

Mander.xyz is a science based community, you can have a look

What do you mean by the question? It’s a science/nature based instance.

I was just curious since I only just started noticing communities with that domain popping up

I think it's a few reasons

  • the communities are mostly all science/research focussed, so it's got more of a recognizable culture and you know what to expect going in
  • very engaged and curious people that post a lot of cool content

I like mander.xyz, and it's a good place to build a community that fits that theme. I'm working on a few health/medicine communities started on Mander.xyz and people really helped get them going

Oh this is cool. The fediverse needs threads like this every now and then for discoverability of neat communities like this one.

!calvinandhobbes@lemmy.world. While there's not much conversation going on there it's still nice to jump on lemmy and see a Calvin and Hobbes comic every day in my feed. The mod is currently posting C&H's from 1987.
