[Question] where do you find friends to trade/swap aquarium stuff? (lemmy.world)

I'm still figuring out how I'm going to set up a planted aquarium, after last having goldfish as a kid about 30 years ago. So forgive my naivete!

On that other big social media site, there's the AquaSwap community where I see a bunch of folks local to me in NYC are trading/selling/buying all manner of aquarium stuff (fish, plants, hardscape, more).

So for my friends on Lemmy: do you participate in trade with your local community? Where are they? Are they only on that other website…? Meetups? Mailing lists?

There are a few very active Facebook groups for freshwater fish/aquarium info and trades in my city where a lot of that goes on, and people go in together on larger direct fish orders. But not sure how that would work in a city as large as NYC.
