hi! just came over from hexbear, hope that's ok
i'm reading record of a spaceborn few by becky chambers, the 3rd book in the wayfarers series. i love cozy sci-fi ๐
welcome! it's ok, im hoping as lemmy improves we can refed (same thing with nsfw instances). i feel a lot more comfortable after discussing it with people over there and CARC0SA as well. i think as lemmy grows things will def chill out a lot especially as general etiquette forms around inter-instance community interactions, which seems to already be happening.
also: i have some becky chambers on my tbr.. is she worth checking out. i love cozy fantasy but have never really thought about giving cozy scifi a try ๐
yeah i'm sure everything will mellow out eventually
also becky chambers is great! i actually read her monk & robot books first, they're basically an exploration of what a solarpunk society would look like and they're super wholesome! wayfarers is wholesome too but more focused on found family
i think if you like cozy fantasy then becky chambers work will feel very familiar to you, so i recommend it! :)
