Community and moderator requests and nominations for unmodded communities.

No bulk requests. That means one comm request per post. This is so we can sort out their interest individually.

Community request posts with enough upbears and a volunteer for moderation willing to submit an application will be created during mod drives.

There are many barriers that disallow comrades from getting unbiased input from a medical professional, and I think this comm could provide that access. I have seen some thoroughly uninformed medical takes here, and this could serve as a place for people who want research-backed answers to their medical questions. Would also be a place to post advancements in medicine, changes in medical policy, etc

I know there is already /c/drugs but that is primarily aimed at recreational use and harm reduction.

Unsure if we would be required to label the comm "This is not medical advice", while still providing it.

The only other provider I am aware of is @D3FNC, who I already messaged.

Not that every mod needs to be a healthcare worker, but I would like to have as many as possible.
