Thanks for the spotlight!

I'm the creator & mod of !forgottenweapons@lemmy.world 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!

[-] FireTower@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months 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.

How do bears operate arms given they are without opposable thumbs?

[-] FireTower@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

I managed to find this infographic specially regarding the Auto-5. Hopefully this is helpful.

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 !achievers@lebowski.social ( https://lebowski.social/c/achievers ), a "The Big Lebowski" focused community revolving around memes and everything related to "The Big Lebowski".

[-] canthidium@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

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

[-] PinkyCoyote@sopuli.xyz 5 points 11 months ago

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

[-] canthidium@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Thank you for taking care of your community!

I'd like to vote for !theowlhouse@lemmy.world - 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. ;)

[-] canthidium@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[-] justlookingfordragon@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Maybe LolaCat@lemmy.ca would be interested? They basically run the community anyway, posts and comments regularily and is always friendly and on-topic. ;)

[-] canthidium@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Thanks, will shoot them a message.
