Neat! Wasn't sure if we'd get to see some stats like this. I feel very fortunate to be able to witness how this website grows from the start.
Also glad to see the upvote to downvote ratio is really great, especially in comparison to other social media sites. Calculated the downvotes out to ~1.25% of total votes overall & ~1.6% in October. I hope this continues to be a platform where users largely express their disagreements with words, rather than downvotes.
I think overall, there have been a lot of great conversations around here and certainly some interesting ones..exciting to see all the new (and some familiar) usernames joining the fold (:
Also glad to see the low amount of downvotes. Those should be spared for trolls not people who you disagree with. That used to be the case on reddit too but it changed and now look at the state of that site.
This is a circle for discussing plants, fungi, and slime mold. From flower beds to hobby farms; from your dying windowsill basil plant to kitchen gardens; from wild mushrooms to your failed tabletop mushroom kit.
If the species falls under the aforementioned categories, you are welcome to share advice, success, and failure.
Identification requests are also permitted, just please add the "ID Request" flair to your post.
Lastly, pictures of animals (e.g. bees) in your gardens are also welcome, but please keep animal agriculture to an extreme minimum--our focus is flora, not fauna.
Guidelines:
Be very careful about revealing your location information. If you need to give details, you probably should be as vague as possible, ie: "a desert", "the southwest US", or "USDA Zone 9"
Be very considerate of the content of photographs and if they reveal anything that can be used to de-anonymize you.
