ive been thinking abt this for a while now: a comm for caffeinated drinks. im a big coffee drinker and rlly enjoy the process of brewing. this could be for tea too, and energy drinks ig. theres a lot of knowledge in brewing coffee (and im sure its the same for tea). im a bit of a novice, but i have a decent amount of experience to share involving espresso, cold brew, pour-overs, water hardness and temperature, grind size, bean selection, etc. we can also recommend each other gear. my first post would be talking abt my manual espresso machine that i highly recommend for quality espresso on a budget
as im already on the mod team, i could mod this comm, and im sure i could find other users passionate abt coffee or tea to deputize
idr what the default is especially for older accounts, but you can see whether you are browsing All (aka "Local" assuming you don't want to see lemmy.ml stuff) or only Subscribed on the homepage. If it is Subscribed and you'd rather not filter any hexbear posts out (besides blocked ones) just switch the default to Local in your user settings.
Since most people are browsing by All it doesn't matter too much how many micro comms we have
