Hello all! I just created an Etymology community since I noticed there wasn’t a local one for those of us on LemmyWorld. Hope to see it grow. :)
Hello all! I just created an Etymology community since I noticed there wasn’t a local one for those of us on LemmyWorld. Hope to see it grow. :)
Is the new community for sharing knowledge only, or is it also a place to ask questions (ie: “What is the etymology of [xyz]?”)?
I’d say focus on sharing etymology findings for now. I’m not some linguistics professor or anything – just an amateur who created this community for fun. Maybe we could sustain more question posts once there are enough knowledgable subscribers to answer them. (I’m hoping some experts would discover the community actually, and maybe hop on as mods). :)
Edit: I just updated the community rules so clarify that question posts are allowed, as long as you please attempt to at least Google it yourself first. 😆
