  I am indeed, thank you very much! :D

  I’ve only been seeing scattered Imaginary communities on Lemmy so far, which I assumed were rogue communities, so I’m happy to see you guys from INE make an official FNIC here.

  Thanks for the art breaks from all the chaos that’s happening here on Lemmy. Godspeed, and lemmy see you around!

    thank you, but they’re very much unofficial by design:

    i think most of the imaginary network on reddit was the same [group of] mod[s] - i’m deliberately not doing that, and letting each lemmysphere do their own thing (hence the “federated”). this is a descriptive not prescriptive group, and this is mostly for easy discovery for people who are interested

      Oh, that makes sense, and thank you for explaining it!

      It’s a grand idea to make an index, not only for better exposure, but I bet it also makes it easier for FNIC communities to handle potential problems in unity - if they want to.

      I apologize for making assumptions. It is most definitely a good idea to not have the whole of Lemmies Imaginary communities depend on a single persons whims. Though I’ve personally never had any beef with INE, we often see how bad such communities can end up.

      It’s good to have some more pleasant art pop up in my feed, and have a proper place to link people with which I discuss art on Lemmy, so thank you for making FNIC!

        yeah, there is also a matrix space where i’m doing anything i can democratically as well

        don’t apologise! (i did steal their naming convention as well)

        Though I’ve personally never had any beef with INE, we often see how bad such communities can end up.

        neither did i; but better safe than sorry and all that (also i just made !imaginarytrains@lemm.ee because nobody else would, and it’s just sort of snowballed from there - i didn’t know if people would have beef with me, so i don’t want to dictate what happens everywhere)
