Solarpunk travel is intended for /sustainable/ travel, right? So where can we discuss travel with no sustainability relevance? I only consider proper decentralized non-Cloudflare instances. This is what found as free world venues for travel chatter:

The places other than !solarpunktravel@slrpnk.net are ghost towns but that’s nothing that can’t be fixed with a bit of cross-posting. I suggest putting them in the sidebar as related communities.

    We are currently looking for an additional moderator for this community as the founder has been inactive for >6 months.

      Guess I wouldn’t mind co-moderating w/will stedden. I would expand the sidebar with related communities as a starting action.

    I guess you don’t consider !bicycle_touring@lemmy.world fit for the sidebar then.

    I was surprised for the community not even being federated on the slrpnk instance, i thought that would have been just the right user base.

    Would you be opposed if some content from over there would also be crossposted to here?

      Bicycle touring is relevant but indeed lemmy.world is antithetical to fedi philosophy and purpose so I wouldn’t want to promote it on the sidebar. #LemmyWorld has a group for everything and needs no promotion. They replicate communities in the free world, effectively poaching from better places.

      Would you be opposed if some content from over there would also be crossposted to here?

      No; feel free to crosspost either way.

      My personal approach is to post initially in the most relevant free world decentralized community first, creating a new community if necessary. If the post contains a question that’s starving for answers after some time, then I might cross post to centralized places¹ in part to promote the better venue to those in places of oppression… to try to steer people toward a more ethical workflow.

      Some instances only show the parent of a cross post, while other instances show both parents and children in a cross posting scenario. This is why I favor the digital rights respecting community for the initial post.

      ① e.g. lemmy world, sh.itjust·works, lemm·ee, lemmy·ca, programming·dev, and lemmy.ml.

        I don’t think there are any other bicycle touring / bikepacking communities on other instances. Also it was created by a user, not “by them”. I am a moderator of that community (but i didn’t create it), i have a lemmy.world account too. I ended up on world because they accepted people when many instances didn’t and i didn’t want to sign up to an instance that may be run on somebody’s raspberrypi and would be turned off in a week or something. It was hard to tell what was what, being new to lemmy.

        Personally i would be down, moving the community to another instance, but i am not the creator of it. I think i will propose a move in the future to see what the people think, but i also won’t be mad if people don’t want to move, i am personally more interested in getting niche communities to take off on the fediverse in general, and lemmy.world is part of that.
