    Anything related to cycling in all its varieties is okay to post/cross-post on [email protected] 😊 IMO user numbers are still too low on Lemmy to get overly picky over what gets posted where, which is why I set up the community as “anything goes”, and I think cross-posting is a great way to get new people to discover the more specialized bike communities.

      Hey, thanks for your input. I also feel like cross posting would be a win-win. Some nice cycling content for [email protected] and some attention for the touring / bikepacking stuff, maybe gives people ideas who haven’t thought about it.

      When i joined lemmy in the midsts of last years tour, i started posting to [email protected] before there was any traffic here and i felt very welcome. Really like the vibe in “your” community. It was the most active cycling comm and i think it had the most subscribers too. It still seems the most active, but somehow [email protected] seems to have much more subscribers now (It says 1.88K on lemmy world). Strange how that goes.

      [email protected] will always have a place in my heart, i had a really great time when i found it! ❤️

      I thought something was off with the subscriber numbers i kept writing down for [email protected], and what do you know, today it is suddenly at 2.76K. That makes a lot more sense and i like that number much better!
