If anyone would like to help me set up these communities or mod, please get in touch. This place is what we make it and I’d love some fresh ideas. I mod a number of smaller science subreddits and would like to help make this place just as nice, if not better!

    I’d love to help out if you still need mods. I’ve never been a mod before, if that matters. Unless you count a stint on an old forum 15+yrs ago.

      Hey! Thanks for the interest! We’re good on the archaeology one as I am holding some places for potential academics. Are there any other ones on my list in my profile you’d have any interest in? I am trying to build small teams to allow people to dip in and out with life and make things democratic.

        Anthropology has always been a favorite mine as well. There are others on there like the earth sciences or geospatial that I’m interested in, but tbh I think Anthro is the only other sub that I’ve studied enough as a layperson to be able to effectively mod.

        Sorry for the delayed response. Life got hectic there for a bit.

          No sweat, anthro sounds like a great choice then. Can you make a quick comment on the mod post there? You have to post on the sub to be modded. Lemmy quirk. :)

        That makes sense. I fully support making things more Democratic, but we do need SME’s modding as well. We have enough uneducated ‘experts’ spreading misinfo as it is.

    I’m game to share the load as well. Not so much archeology, but biology, physics, chemistry, pretty much all STEM fields would be great.

    I’m happy to help out in any of the communities that I’m likely to frequent. I’m not so into archaeology, but I’d do anything biology/programming/scicomm related
