[email protected] is off to a great start with over 60 sub's, I hope someone else whos into detecting on Lemmy will eventually post occasionally too. For now its just me digging holes in my back yard a few times a week.
I recently took over [email protected] the mods were inactive for years and the pinned post were outdated which started to bug me after months.
I didn't like the description was just "were a replacement for the reddit r/localllama community" with same thumbnail and everything. Fuck reddit, our communities aren't cheap copycats nor should we treat them that way. So I rewrote the description and helped make some new community artwork. People seem to like the new changes which I'm happy about I spent hours editing and colorizing that stupid purple llama picture.
I also recently became mod of [email protected] and gave it a similar glowup with new art rewritten description and unpinned years old inactive post.
I'm not super big into number tracking except for metaldetecting since thats truly my baby. I hope the communities I look after continue to grow at the speed they were meant to.
That's really cool, fam, it's an important topic and I'm glad to see it getting independent support here.
Well done!
