Thanks for the spotlight!

I'm the creator & mod of [email protected] if you have any questions about our community I'll be glad to answer them!

I consider this at it's core to be a community for people who like learning. So even if you don't consider yourself a history buff or into guns (and that kind of thing) please stop by and poke your head in. We've got some really weird stuff, especially if you sort by top of all time.

Thank you for putting in the work and taking care of your community!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I'm so appreciative for all the positivity towards the community I've seen so far. We're almost at the 500 member mark (in under 2 weeks!) and I haven't seen a single comment that needed mod action.

We're just now at the point where others are starting to post.

Hello!

I'm the creator, admin, mod, and everything else of lebowski.social. It would be great to get a spotlight onto our current single community [email protected] ( https://lebowski.social/c/achievers ), a "The Big Lebowski" focused community revolving around memes and everything related to "The Big Lebowski".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hey thanks! Love The Big Lebowski! Added to the list.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is cool to see. I run aneurysm posting. Would love to see more people there.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Thank you for taking care of your community!

I'd like to vote for [email protected] - the artist creating those comics may not have been working on the actual show, but the stories, art style and charactrs are so incredibly on point that people regularily ask whether MoringMark was a (ghost)writer for the show. ;)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Thank you, added! Looks like the mod is inactive though, so if anyone wants to take over, please let me know.

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

Maybe [email protected] would be interested? They basically run the community anyway, posts and comments regularily and is always friendly and on-topic. ;)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks, will shoot them a message.
