Hey there everybody, I’m DVD.
I came to the Fediverse/Lemmy recently after the mass exodus from, competitors, like I’m sure many of you have.
I’ve been knees deep in learning the German Language since October, and I wanted a community to help myself and others along in this process of language learning, which I noticed Lemmy lacked, so I created c/German.
I should preface this community by saying that I am probably the least qualified person to run a community such as this. I would probably fail the Goethe B1 Exam for German, and I have never moderated any community before, not on Lemmy nor its competitors.
But, I saw the need for a place like this, and I stepped up to the plate. If you are seeing this and are interested, feel free to join. If the place isn’t quite as lively as you thought it would be, try creating a post or commenting on some existing ones. I promise to work on community engagement as this place (hopefully) grows.
With that being said, also message me if you are interested in any moderator roles. I will gladly accept others who are willing to make sure this community stays on track, and remains toxic-free.

Oh, hooray! I was hoping something like this would pop up!
I’m glad you found it! I noticed that Lemmy seems to have a very sizeable German population so hopefully a few natives will help learners on here.
Sorry for late response – Mlem has no notifications to my knowledge atm – I’ve noticed that as well. It’s good for getting my exposure to the language up.
