    Haven’t been on since I created my Kbin account a few weeks ago. I really just miss my smaller subs like interior and home decorating, houseporn, and the plant subs. at least the houseplant and gardening communities on here are getting some steam. Oh well, I’ll live without for now 🤷‍♀️.

      The nice thing about smaller communities is that it’s more like going to the pub than speed-dating; there’s an increasingly familiar regular crowd that feels like community, rather than a focus on quick content, hoping for a spark of interest.

        I like squabbles because it tends to be simpler, less technical than here. They need more users but the combination of the two sites is scratching the Reddit itch.

          Yeah it’s nice seeing the different places making an effort to grow the community despite their size. Both places have been very welcoming and have good vibes.

        I’ll give squabbles another look, I didn’t really like it when I was looking for a new place but that was like a month ago, might be a place where I browse a couple places. Thanks for the tip!

      browsing in new I have seen a !houseplants but I’m not sure which instance it was on. It would be nice to see cozyplaces or something like it though.
