Congrats on 120 days! It will be two years on July 8 for me.

I had the same thought about spinning one up here. I’m not sure I’d be capable of running a community like that especially with how much of a tight ship they’ve got running.

I wonder if it would be worth posting and asking about it there or DM’ing a mod perhaps. Maybe I’ll give that a go.

I’m really worried for those who use third party apps and depend on r/stopdrinking. That community single-handedly helped me get sober.

I fear that someone who is on the brink of breaking sobriety and wants to reach out on r/stopdrinking, not being able to access it from the app they normally use would be just enough of a hurdle for them to give in and start drinking again.

Makes me really sad to think about since it can be a dark place and the people there are so genuinely caring.

It took a solid couple days to wrap my head around how things work, where posts are coming from and how to find communities I’m interested in. I’m nervous that’s going to be just enough of a barrier that folks will say forget it when trying it out.

Otherwise it’s a refreshing take. Really wish there was an iOS app you could find in the App Store. All I find is mastodon apps.
