Hey! Thanks a lot for offering help with this, and I am happy to hear that you like it here :D

Financially: At the moment I am paying approximately ~$60 per month for the instance, which is an amount that I am more than happy to contribute to the fediverse in addition to donations to the dev team. If you have the means and want to contribute, my suggestion is to donate directly to the development: join-lemmy.org/donate

As for other kinds of help: Moderating a community (or communities) is a lot of help. Users are free to create their own communities or can reach out to me and I can make them a moderator in any of the communities I moderate 🙂

What is the purpose or description of this instance? I see the sidebar is empty and I’m curious haha. For some reason I really like the sound of your domain name!

An instance for nature and science related content. It is intended to be an instance to share photos of nature, scientific articles, ask about plants, science-related hobbies, etc. I make some effort to avoid politics and charged topics, although some small amount is tolerated, mostly because it is difficult to always enforce this without being too aggressive with moderation.

Here is the side bar:

An instance dedicated to nature and science.

We follow Lemmy’s code of conduct.

Please be respectful to each other.

The main focus of this instance is the natural sciences, and the scope encompasses all of the STEM fields.

Please keep politics to a minimum. When science is the focus, intersection with politics may be tolerated as long as the discussion is constructive and science remains the focus. As a general rule, political content posted directly to the instance’s local communities is discouraged and may be removed. You can of course engage in political discussions in non-local communities.

As a member of the fediverse, you can create your account here and interact with any other federated community!

To find communities all over the Lemmyverse you can use a community browser such as: https://lemmyverse.net/communities

To fetch a community, simply copy and paste the community’s URL into the search box in Mander.
