@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!

Fediverse, I need you! I could do with more positivity in my timeline.
Do you follow and can you recommend accounts who motivate you (because they inspire you, not out of outrage)?
I’m particularly after tinkerers, or people who break things down and explain how they work 🤗
