A place for people who like to be prepared for realistic disasters both human created and naturally occurring!
We expect there to be thematic overlaps with outdoor, survival, general preparedness, self-sufficient living and resilience... also gear talk is welcomed wholeheartedly.

There's been a mass exodus from Reddit for the past like year, and it's only increasing. I just found this from a search because I wanted a non-reddit preppers community.
Due to the feeling of this place being abandoned, I was about to leave to other shores and close my account.
I can keep it up, but preferably I would step down as moderator (but not without a proper successor).
I think it's important to have a non-reddit preppers forum, and lemmy seems like a good option. It may just take time to grow, but what harm does it do to just keep this around?
Without seeing that exodus I bascially agree with you. But to be realistic, we set this about 2 years ago.
For example a major reddit community I was with, decided to go with telegram instead of something sane like matrix 😬 I fear lemmy is -for now- simply and sadly not first choice.
In a sentiment of creating an easy landig page I posted Lemmy at a glance.
The post might be useful for onboarding friends and stranges.
