I was actually planning to promote the community around, I can include a note about you looking for more moderators?
I was impressed by the size of the Australian team during the opening ceremony 😄 From what I hear, a number of Australians visit Canada during the ski / snowboard season. I figured that’s where the popularity for those sports comes from in an otherwise warm country?
I know a bunch of people who go to Japan regularly for skiing/snowboarding. It’s a fairly popular sport with Australians, but generally at a much lower level of seriousness than we’re likely to take summer sports.
And of course, Steven Bradbury is an absolute legend for his 2002 Olympic Gold in speed skating.

Yea I can imagine! Still, I was impressed by the size of the Australian team during the opening ceremonies and the country has been doing pretty well at the medals so far :)
I’d probably want any new mods to either be people who are already mods elsewhere, but primarily on smaller more niche communities (rather than centralising power into a few “power mods”), or who have engaged a bunch with this community in the past.
Sorry I didn’t get to posting about the moderators. There was a promotion post in !communitypromo@lemmy.ca around when I made this, and then I didn’t get around to posting it elsewhere.
Makes sense :)

Yeah, this is already Australia’s best performance at the Winter Olympics so far, with 3 golds. Passing our previous best, 2010’s 2 golds.
Yeah feel free to do that.
