Just wanted to say “hi” because you sent me here :)

Wir haben noch nicht mal ein offizielles Deutschverbot hier ;-)

Hello and welcome! Happy to see another familiar name Ü

There’s also !deutsch_lernen@feddit.de on this instance.

You might try these communities instead: https://feddit.de/c/deutsch_lernen https://lemmy.world/c/german . From what I understand this one is more for English language news and discussion about the country, Germany.

Edit: Just saw that a mod further down said they don’t want to necessarily separate discussion about the country Germany and the language German all that much as long as the community is small, so for now you will probably be fine asking here as well if the language-centric communities above are less active.

Oh certainly, we don’t discriminate ;-)

They don’t allow hyphens in usernames, so I had to ditch the life ;-)

Care to join the mod team?

For the time being I don’t want to separate them all that much, given that we have only a handful of users. The initial thought was to make it a mix of Germany and AskAGerman (where language requests were not explicitly discouraged).

But once the userbase is large enough it certainly makes sense to branch out into a separate language channel and maintain this one as a discussion forum for, with and about Germans/Germany.

I’m not much of a developer unfortunately, and there’s no automod right here… Nor is there a wiki system. But I’m sure that will come over time. Until then we’ll just have to make do with an off-site wiki somehwere.
