Apologies if this isn't the best place to post this... but I've been wondering.

When I was researching moving over to the Fediverse, I noticed I actually couldn't find that much scalie-specific instances. Which of course isn't really bad per se, as we still have instances like this which is totally awesome. But anyway, then when I moved to Lemmy, one of the communities I have been following on that other platform, r/Dragons, doesn't really have a Lemmy equivalent, which is a bit more of a bummer to me. Maybe there just isn't much of us on the Fediverse (yet)? I guess I want to ask this: anyone know of any scalies on the Fediverse? Or better yet, Lemmy communities? If there isn't any of the latter yet, I'd be totally willing to make one! Only thing is I don't have much to post there...

Lemme know what you think (unintentional pun intended)!

I've never felt out of place as I've always just just considered scalies as just a sub-category of the furry fandom. Same with avians, arthropods, or marines. Anyway I've found quite a few scalies on Mastodon and there is also discoverability by following hashtags. I haven't found much scalie specific communities on any Lemmy instances but if you feel up to creating and moderating one go for it.
