So I can make up stories about how I understood the nature of the universe while staring at a plant. And by this I mean posting Hegel quotes.

    it’s also the size of the userbase. there’s something like 2k active users per month - when you’re talking about niche fandoms, you might get 20 users per month, or worse 2 users per month, and people just give up on the comm without active work from the mods to cultivate a userbase. federation helps a little but ultimately, hexbear’s politics makes things harder.

    all that said, if you have a plan, make a post in /c/commrequest explaining your plan - admins will want a mod application to go along with it, mainly to make sure they’re not modding a fascist or the like.
