@wavesculptor @pvonhellermannn Yes, I think I was marking #ClimateCommunity for myself to come back to and think*, but I’m also a fan of Pauline’s #ClimateDiary. I was involved at the beginning of #compostodon’s life and as a compost nerd I really love to see it.
The *thinking is about what it means to find community in climate concerns, whether and how it helps.
@pvonhellermannn Lovely to see your name! I find reading responses here heartening — knowing that others are showing up even when it’s tough on so many scales. For me #ClimateCommunity is itself the strongest sign of hope. We are still here. We are still here. We are still here.
I had a look at the #climateCommunity tag you used here -- nothing at all on it -- not even this post, which suggests it might be slow loading, BUT the #climateDiary tag that Pauline popularised did become a bit of a community. Also, another tag, just saw on your profile #compostodon has regular contributors. Now all in my follow list.
@kate are there good hash tags to follow for it?
What a good question. It’s probably about hashtagS, and labelling of what the practice is. Knitters knit etc.
Now I’m curious to know what others find helpful. I follow people more than hashtags, and then when I find someone’s making something I notice if they’re sharing it to a hashtag and I’ll amble in that direction.
#compostodon for people making something of waste is one you might not think of. And I notice the makers of #solarpunk and the #visiblemending community.
Re that last boost on finding experts near you, @bonni208 mentions finding the #compostodon community here, and this got me thinking about how we become each other’s counsel in all sorts of practical ways. Relational expertise: not just credentials in the knowing sense, but credibility in the trusted sense.

After an enforced break I’ve figured out how to write my #composting newsletter again.
This issue: community composting in Birmingham and Machynlleth, a compost-powered computer in Manchester and a dead hedge.
Hope you enjoy it!
