The growth of this community continues to amaze me. We've made this the premier Space-related sub on Lemmy and continue to bring in new user's at a huge pace. There's a continued increase in user contribution as well and it's great seeing the different celestial objects or image types that different users prefer.

Please continue to post and comment so we can continue to make this an exciting and welcoming community.

Also, if you're new here, know that this is a friendly place that you should feel comfortable joining. Please remember to share your suggestions, I want this community to be active and reflect what the user's want it to be.

Thanks and continue being awesome.

Thanks for the invitation to post. I barely post before but lemmy really encourages you to talk to other lemmings!

Hello!! Pretty sure this was the first community I subscribed to when I joined. I love the photos! But I'm mainly a lurker because I know so little about space and what I'm looking at to make comments beyond "ooh pretty!"

Let's gooo! I'm curious whose community will hit 3k first haha.

[–] Venutianxspring@lemmy.fmhy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I didn't even consider there'd be this many subscribers, so I'll just be excited when we get there. Don't think it'll take too long before we reach 3k though.

Meanwhile I can't even remember the reason or the moment when I created the antiwork sub and now it grew qucikly and I don't know what to do. xD

I will be recruiting mods soon so hopefully I will figure out things soon enough. After mods become more trused etc. (weeks? months?) I'm planning to abandon the ship because I'm not the right person to steer it.

You are the opposite of the Reddit power tripping mods, so refreshing to see this. Respect!
