Gauging interest post. Do any of you fabulous folk want to help start a cutting swap community? Always loved them on reddit. Half of my collection is from those fine folks! :)

      Cool! I’d love to see those here :)

      For regional ones, you could make/promote them on the regional instances. This could also be great to promote on other fediverse platforms

        One major one is good until it gets steam, I think. People can put the country in the title.

          why not use this community? just add tags to the title: [Plant Swap] [Australia] giving away beginner friendly Hoya carnosa / porcelainflower / wax plant you can still learn about the plant and have general discussions in the comments? why split the community?

            It’s more like propagating! :) It’s a bit easier to manage communities when you have different containers for different modes as people barely look at sidebars and stickies as is… There I can make it really obvious how these posts should be formatted and not everyone will want to see trades. I was planning on having tags like that, yes! :) it makes it a system and less cluttered with clear places for reviews, etc. Makes it easier for bot setup too, like in plantid. Going to set up a formatting reminder.
