@mastodonusercount I only discovered the #fediverse this week because I stopped being able to conveniently access reddit.

Love the concept, still adapting to the execution.

This will probably only reach the void but: is there a community for professional chemists or laboratory workers like r/chempros or r/labrats?

@Optimoose @mastodonusercount you might want Lemmy instead of Mastodon. Lemmy is the reddit clone. Mastodon is more like Twitter. Here's a good explanation of Lemmy:

There's a link in that post to a site where you can browse/search Lemmy communities.

@rabbit_fighter @mastodonusercount thanks, yes I've been playing around with Lemmy as well. The smallness of the communities reminds me of special interest forums back in the late 2000s.
