Hi all, as you may have heard, this instance is unfortunately shutting down at the end of the month. As far as I know, this is the only Lemmy foraging community, so I’d like to keep it going elsewhere if possible.

Does anyone know of or wish to create another foraging community?

If not, I’d be happy to make one on slrpnk.net. There used to be one but I think it was closed due to mod inactivity.

Slrpnk sounds appropriate. Another tangentially related is Mander, the science focused Lemmy.

I second that. Either one would be fitting.

Agreed🌻

Not enough admins/overworked admins. https://sopuli.xyz/post/28167574

Aw… that's sad to hear.

I encourage you to check out mander.xyz. That's the most natural-sciency instance I have come across. I think this community would fit right in there.

Personally, I would move to a random instance rather than slrpnk. Not because it's a bad instance but because I think it's a bad idea to bundle all communities for a topic in just place. If slrpnk shuts down one day as well, a big chunk of environment related Lemmy would be gone. Following the idea of the Fediverse, it would be more failsafe to spread similar topics as wide as possible.
