🪸 [email protected] - FINALLY! A community for ocean lovers, marine biology, and all things aquatic
I have absolutely no idea how this gap has existed in Lemmy for so long, but ![email protected] is here to fill it! I've been a Lemming for many years, and I've never seen a marine community pop up.
So, whether you’re a marine biologist, tide-pool explorer, scuba diver, aquarium hobbyist, or just someone who loves ocean photography and marine conservation, this community is open to you!
Edit: I was a little over zealous when I wrote "I've never seen a marine community pop up". From my conversation with [email protected] in the comments:
"But you’re absolutely right – I completely forgot about !ocean when writing this post. I shouldn’t have said I’ve “never seen a marine community”. Though, it is fairly inactive like you said. And this is the Fediverse! A little decentralization never hurt anyone ;) I perfectly happy to run alongside and support “competing” communities"

Woah! How have I missed this?? I probably just only ever searched for "ocean" and "fish".... Silly me
I'll be sure to link it in the sidebar of ![email protected] along with any others I missed :)
I knew something existed, was looking for it, and then saw a recent post.
You're right about the keyword search though. Something to think about when making communities.
I subscribed.
Just for the record, this is an active community that's 3yrs old:
![email protected]
And this is another, which unfortunately seems to have ground to a halt:
![email protected]
Yup! I've actually posted in both before (I did so on the former quite recently). However, !aquariums is for, well, aquariums. Y'know pets and their homes. ![email protected] is for all sea animals, not just the pets!
But you're absolutely right -- I completely forgot about !ocean when writing this post. I shouldn't have said I've "never seen a marine community". Though, it is fairly inactive like you said. And this is the Fediverse! A little decentralization never hurt anyone ;) I'm perfectly happy to run alongside and support "competing" communities
Yes, I understand. Just wanted to mention those for anyone interested.
Good luck with the new sub. đź‘Ť
