Good to know, thanks. I do think having an obvious name is important when trying to grow a community, I have never heard of woodpusher before as a term for chess, so idk. But I’ll subscribe and check it out.
I agree that the number of users is pretty low, so the chance of this failing is pretty high, but just wanted to try anyway :) Also the anarchy chess community at !anarchychess@sopuli.xyz does have over 6k subscribers and is at least a little bit active, so there should be some users around

It is probably not the name I would have picked myself (even though I qualify for it) , but it’s a classic, kinda ;)
You don’t have to check out the woodpusher community, there won’t be anything for you to see there. quokk.au defederated feddit.org a while ago.
