I started this early in the recent popularity of reddit alternatives, as I didn’t see any other cycling communities. I don’t really want (or have time) to be a mod, and it seems there are other more active cycling communities
I’ll give it a couple of days, but if there’s not strong sentiment to keep a separate community here on lemmy.world, I’ll close it down
edit: staying open, though we’ll see if activity picks up
open to any volunteers
I’m open to it. I used to mod a reddit community that is about 500k subscribers and I’d like to keep /c/cycling text only so that there is a place for discussions that don’t get drowned out by new bike day posts. All the pics can go on /c/bicycling
Not sure I’m 100% down with that. I see where you’re coming from, and I agree those types of posts, as well as some of the Strava screenshot posts are kind of meh, but I do think some odd images add value. For instance, dangerous intersections/infrastructure. Though on second thought, a thousand posts of cars in bike lanes gets a little tiresome.
We could do a poll or something.
I definitely couldn’t mod if we had to be enforcing rules. Would still be interested if it weren’t a text only community?
I definitely would still be interested in modding. I’m good with a poll too. Not sure how many responses we’ll get but it’s probably good to take a pulse of how everyone feels.

done, you’re a mod now!

I would also mod if you want.
done! you’re a mod now!
Thanks! How do you feel about @Justahousecat idea about text only?
That seems like the easiest way to set it up. I’m ok with whatever the group decides though.
