Apologies if this isn't the best place to post this... but I've been wondering.

When I was researching moving over to the Fediverse, I noticed I actually couldn't find that much scalie-specific instances. Which of course isn't really bad per se, as we still have instances like this which is totally awesome. But anyway, then when I moved to Lemmy, one of the communities I have been following on that other platform, r/Dragons, doesn't really have a Lemmy equivalent, which is a bit more of a bummer to me. Maybe there just isn't much of us on the Fediverse (yet)? I guess I want to ask this: anyone know of any scalies on the Fediverse? Or better yet, Lemmy communities? If there isn't any of the latter yet, I'd be totally willing to make one! Only thing is I don't have much to post there...

Lemme know what you think (unintentional pun intended)!

I guarantee you that if you posted scaly stuff on /c/[email protected], no one would have anything bad to say about it being scaly. Most people would probably welcome it. I don't know if you noticed, but it's a little bit dead here. We want all the content we can get.

If you do want to make a scaly-focused community, just remember to feed it or it's going to go the same way as musclefurs and furrywriting.

I know, yeah! Talking a bit with you folks here really motivated me to actually start posting some content here, and honestly, on Lemmy in general! Apologies if this was a silly question because looking on it in retrospect yeah it's a bit weird to start making another community when there's so little content in Lemmy that there doesn't need to be that kind of distinction (and that kind of fragmentation might actually end up harming more than helping).

But about my first point, who knows though... you might see some pictures of dergs turn up somewhere here. Maybe...!
