☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

Do you mind me asking which communities you had previously moderated? Feel free to message if you don't want to answer publicly.
No it's fine.
I started (and still run) /r/catishelping which is basically just another cat sub, for pictures of cats in suitcases, cats on keyboards, cats just generally, y'know "helping" their humans do human things.
And I inherited /r/youthrights, which is a political sub for discussing the empowerment and liberation of young people.
I hadn't ever intended to own the place; I volunteered because they needed some backup and it's a cause I've felt strongly for since I was a young person myself, but then the old owner picked a fight with the admins and got himself banned and, well, I was the only one left. I refuse to step down now because a lot of discussion still goes on there and I want to keep the lights on for people, but I do have my eye on somebody to succeed me if I ever decide to bail on Reddit entirely.
Well, I think we should add you. I just want to wait to hear from @Martijn before doing it. I had something unexpected come up in my personal life literally in the past few hours and I'll be pretty busy for a couple weeks.
