MODERATORS
 

The growth of this community continues to amaze me. We've made this the premier Space-related sub on Lemmy and continue to bring in new user's at a huge pace. There's a continued increase in user contribution as well and it's great seeing the different celestial objects or image types that different users prefer.

Please continue to post and comment so we can continue to make this an exciting and welcoming community.

Also, if you're new here, know that this is a friendly place that you should feel comfortable joining. Please remember to share your suggestions, I want this community to be active and reflect what the user's want it to be.

Thanks and continue being awesome.

Love to see the community continue to grow!

It's wonderful to have this community on my feed. It might seem paradoxical, but seeing these posts about space keeps me grounded.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I understand completely. The shear beauty of the universe always makes me feel better.

Let's gooo! I'm curious whose community will hit 3k first haha.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't even consider there'd be this many subscribers, so I'll just be excited when we get there. Don't think it'll take too long before we reach 3k though.

Meanwhile I can't even remember the reason or the moment when I created the antiwork sub and now it grew qucikly and I don't know what to do. xD

I will be recruiting mods soon so hopefully I will figure out things soon enough. After mods become more trused etc. (weeks? months?) I'm planning to abandon the ship because I'm not the right person to steer it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You are the opposite of the Reddit power tripping mods, so refreshing to see this. Respect!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can relate. I've never wanted to be a mod of anything. Thankfully there hasn't been much rain to do much in the way of modding this community, at least so far.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Same goes for mine sub but as this is a sub for a movement it needs to be organised and have goals unlike your average sublemmies.

I'm a lurker and I'm saying hi. α••( ᐛ )α•—

Yo, refugee from lemmy.world here because they're having issues 😬, but happy to be here, seems like a chill instance

Hello! I'm also a reddit refugee and really enjoying lemmy!

[–] jnato90 2 points 1 year ago

Wassup fellow cool cat, same for me and I think this concept is very cool. Thank you to those who made this space...πŸ˜‰

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the invitation to post. I barely post before but lemmy really encourages you to talk to other lemmings!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hello!! Pretty sure this was the first community I subscribed to when I joined. I love the photos! But I'm mainly a lurker because I know so little about space and what I'm looking at to make comments beyond "ooh pretty!"
