Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. Coming over from Diasp.org which is shutting down 24 May 2025. Many thanks to David for all his work making a home for us on that site for many years.
I’m interested in #books-and-literature, #finance, #gardening, #science-and-technology, and #terrarium. Thanks for the invite, @Muse!

My mum uses Facebook currently because there's a few groups on it that she likes.

I'm no longer on it, and she's joined the #fediverse (on my instance) but I'm struggling to find replacement groups.

So, does anyone know any good #fedi #groups/instances focused on #gardening, #mushroom / #fungi identification, #wildlife in general, wildlife in the UK, etc.?

Please don't @ her (she doesn't yet fully understand how this stuff works, and isn't looking for people to contact her out of the blue). Hence why I'm looking for groups or instances that I can point her at the local timelines of. Then she can control her own interactions with them.

She's fluent in #German and #English.

But please do @ me with any info.

Boosts appreciated.

I'm ready for more lazy #solarpunk memes. #gardening
