What's the deal with Mander xyz? I started seeing those communities being mentioned recently and they all are really good.

What do you mean by the question? It’s a science/nature based instance.

I was just curious since I only just started noticing communities with that domain popping up

I think it's a few reasons

  • the communities are mostly all science/research focussed, so it's got more of a recognizable culture and you know what to expect going in
  • very engaged and curious people that post a lot of cool content

I like mander.xyz, and it's a good place to build a community that fits that theme. I'm working on a few health/medicine communities started on Mander.xyz and people really helped get them going
