I have absolutely no idea how this gap has existed in Lemmy for so long, but !marine@r1b.it 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 JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 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 !marine@r1b.it 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.
