Hi Dads,
I made a post over in !fedigrow@lemm.ee about possibly consolidating the many dad groups down to just one (at least for now) to encourage activity.
The general consensus was that we focus discussion over at !fatherverse@midwest.social because, among some other reasons, it’s the only community that seems to have an active mod.
I hope you’ll join me in posting over there!
I like the idea, but sometimes it’s nice to have a community that’s UK focused. Something that I see on r/ukparenting is that posting / commenting on the more global parenting subreddits can be quite unwelcoming due to cultural differences in the way different countries do things, and they tend to be dominated by US users.
Obviously, everyone is welcome here! But it will have more of a UK bias due to the instance this community is hosted on. Also, I think I prefer the name “dads” over the “fatherverse”, but that’s just my opinion :)
Except, this community is more active than that one. I didn’t spot that the Mod was inactive because everyone else keeps it ticking over. We can always add a new Mod.
Ultimately this is for the dads on here to decide - you can keep using this community if you want to (it has a handy UK soin on things when you tend to find a lot of English-speaking social media is US-focused) but if you all shift over there and this quietly dies, we can shut it down.
