Gauging interest post. Do any of you fabulous folk want to help start a cutting swap community? Always loved them on reddit. Half of my collection is from those fine folks! :)

How does it work? Do the cuttings survive in the mail, or is it a local thing?

I've been lurking here to learn more lol

If it's a new community, could it include other types of exchanges? Seeds for example, I've seen some things like that locally with seed libraries and neighborhood groups

Cool! I'd love to see those here :)

For regional ones, you could make/promote them on the regional instances. This could also be great to promote on other fediverse platforms

One major one is good until it gets steam, I think. People can put the country in the title.
