Woo! ๐Ÿฅณ I'm happy we're being highlighted. It's motivating because it lets me know we're having a remarkable impact. I think it also recognizes the welcoming and caring culture the users in the community have naturally developed. Y'all make me proud to be autistic me โค๏ธ

Also, I think it means that we can help others with relevant interests by attracting them to our community. If anyone has any ideas for valuable growth that makes our community more appealing to others so they would want to intrinsically join and participate, please share away.

Thanks for the recognition, Lemmy World! ๐Ÿญ๐ŸŒ
