this is my social media of choice too. i love forums so much, and there’s no good ones online anymore except a select few subreddits. but this app is so wholesome (for the most part) and easy to use… the only thing it’s missing in my opinion is a block button, there’s some posts i just don’t want to see, y’know

i really enjoy especially being able to help people, because i know quite a lot about plants (it’s probably most of my brainspace)… i try to stay in constant state of learning too so it’s helpful to me when there’s lots of new plants, materials, techniques, and problems that i’m coming across

#### Nancy ♡ replied on 2023-08-31

couldn’t agree more, I think it’s nice to have a community of people who are interested in the same things and being able to learn from each other 🪴🙌🏼

I think a good idea is if when you enter the app and select your skill level, if someone selects beginner, the automatic group they end up in is a group for beginners. And then they also have a list of resources, Q\&A, etc.

#### Anya replied on 2023-09-01

And then the app could prioritize the groups you like the most. So I could still be a part of the beginner group and occasionally help people, but not have that showing up as almost the only posts I see.

I know I’m in the right place once I see your cute cat pfp 🤣

It’s hard to explain to friends and family on other social media sites why I’m happy to put time, effort and money into my plants! They will never get. So, I come here!😆

So when mealys took over and I had to clip a pothos I’d been growing for 3+ years that was like three feet long, I literally was so sad and LITERALLY SOBBING and my bf was looking at me like I was crazy. I felt so guilty!! I told a woman at the nursery and she was like “trust me I get it, you don’t have to explain yourself here” LOL

#### Sunny replied on 2023-09-01

Exactly!

### carsandcalatheas commented on 2023-09-01

I so agree. I always tend to see the same people on this app so it makes it feel like a more close knit community and everyone here is always so positive. It’s such a breath of fresh air from other socials tbh

#### Nancy ♡ replied on 2023-09-01

i think this too! i feel so excited when i see people’s post ! it’s such a nice form of social media 💚

#### Liv replied on 2023-09-01

I think this app is my newest hyperfixation so you will start seeing a lot of me hahaha

#### Nancy ♡ replied on 2023-09-01
