New Admin here

Hi everyone here on slrpnk.net

You probably know me from moderating https://lemmy.ml/c/solarpunk

I was asked to join the admin team here and was thinking of moving my main account to a different instance anyways.

We will probably also move this Lemmy instance to my server when the one year free offer from the Lemmy devs runs out early next year.

I hope to run it on a very efficient ARM server powered by solar PV, but that might come a bit later :)

What is your plan concerning new communities? I am trying to bring people here from a Solarpunk Telegram channel. We would like to have our community here. Also, the list of topic-oriented communities looks a bit random and certainly incomplete.

We enabled community creation. But to keep things a bit clean we will probably prune dead ones from time to time… community gardening ;)

Yes I noticed that community creation is currently restricted. I think that is an anti spam measure, but we could probably enable open community creation again.

Would be cool to have a promotional post at r/solarpunk (100k members) as well

Yes please do. I don’t have a Reddit account.

I was planning to submit an article to solarpunks.net after migrating the community to a solar powered server but that will be only early 2023 or so.

If you can make pictures (screenshots, blueprints, block-schemas etc) of your solar setup, please share! It helps creating more engaging promo posts

I don’t want to spent more time documenting than actually creating it though :) But yes some nice pictures would be good.

Omg what a great news! Looking forward to seeing more solar punk content from this awesome instance

Congratulations!

The instance has been around for a while actually ;)

unfortunately the server has such little activity

Yeah, but I think there is potential in the idea of a Solarpunk community. Its specific enough but the same time welcoming to new users.

yeah, let’s hope it takes off!

I hope to run it on a very efficient ARM server powered by solar PV, but that might come a bit later :)

cooooool
