What solarpunk communities, other than slrpnk.net of course, are you part of, or engage with frequently? It is easy to find some pointers (like https://wiki.slrpnk.net/links), but personal experience and maybe even recommendations are worth way more. So I would love to hear some opinions. Bonus points for non-lemmy or non-mastodon ones, as there seems to be less info on those. But share your favorites nevertheless, if you want to, of course.
Lacking the scifi vibes of solarpunk, but I massively recommend joining your local greenpeace (or friends of the earth, extinction rebellion etc, depending on location) group!
I’ve only attended a few events so far, so not an expert or anything, but meeting with an IRL community based on protecting the environment is really great for making a difference, but also mental health in avoiding doomerism.
Most big groups have monthly “welcome sessions” that are a great way to feel things out if you’re not sure.
Getting into local action is rock solid advice, good point. Not what I’m looking for right now, but good feedback.
