First off, this is immediately and by far my favourite instance. Thank you so much for creating it!

I’m still new to the “fediverse” in general, but with the current flood of newbies stumbling into every corner of it, I’m wondering if, for Mander, it might be a good idea to restrict creation of new communities to just the admin/s.

Mander’s theme and tone are so unique, and I’d hate to see that diluted and buried. I’m just starting to see new local communities pop up that have nothing to do with nature or any type of science.

Just a thought of course. What you have here is fully worth protecting :)
