i think it needs to expand in scope, and i'm doing it before it gets too large

i started off with !cathedrals because i personally like gothic/catholic architecture, but as there is no !imaginarymythology here i think it better not to splinter into two religion-based lemmyspheres

i realise changing the url means quite a few people might miss this announcement, which is unfortunate; but as the !lemmysphere@instance syntax is the only one that works with kbin and doesn't use the display name i thought it better to change

my posts Imaginary Religion will still be quite architecture-focussed, but will accept (and encourage) other art from historical and present religions and mythologies

this place will not be deleted, but archived in case it ever needs to be brought back in future. there's no need to unsubscribe from here, but you may want to subscribe there as well
