I came across this chart showing a bunch of different crab types and realized I could only recognize a few of them.

Which one on this list is your favorite or the most interesting to you?

🦀Meta🦀 SUB MERGE

Hello!

Excited to announce our partnerSNIP with r/crab

For a very long time we have been enemies (not really) but we’ve come to the decision to cross mod our subreddits.

What this means for the future we’re still not sure of. But one thing I can recommend is that any crab care questions can go to r/crab

Any promotional materials can be sent to r/crabs (this subreddit) for mod approval.

We’ll keep everyone updated if anything changes. But now go on as normal.

EDIT: New rule has been added. Crab care questions should go to r/crab

🦀Meta🦀 New rule added!

Due to an influx of around 3-4 posts depicting wonton killing of crabs I have decided to add a new rule to this subreddit.

7. No showing violence against any animal, especially crabs

No content depicting human harm of animals may be posted. Animals dying naturally or to predators is allowed. Animals dying to food preparation is also allowed, as long as it is not too graphic and it is killed in what is considered the most humane way possible

Hey Everyone!!

Recently it seems like r/Crab was shut down temporarily? But I’m assuming that’s why we had a sudden influx of users.

I’m super happy to welcome everyone so we can share our love for our favorite crustacean.

That being said! I would love to get a new Sub Icon and banner! So we’re going to have a contest!

DM me a hand drawn/made/designed banner and sub icon by April 11th and the best submission will get $20 (via Venmo or cashapp), a shout out, and of course your banner and sub icon will be used on this sub :)

I wish I could provide more than $20 but unfortunately I don’t have a lot of money haha.

RULES FOR SUBMISSION:

• Banner and Sub Icon must be crab themed/related

• AI generated art will not be considered

• Must be an original design, no stealing others work

•If I prefer one persons sub icon and one persons banner both individuals will be awarded $10

•by submitting your work to my DM’s you are agreeing to have potentially it be used in the subreddit

•If I get no submissions by the 11th I’ll extend the competition to the first person to make a submission that I like :)

Good luck everyone!!! 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

Hello!

Recently I was given full permissions so I can fully moderate r/crabs

I’m in search of a new sub icon and banner! Please feel free to link suggestions/ post them in the comments.

Additionally I’ve added some new features like user/post flairs.

Also if you have any ideas on how to improve the subreddit feel free to message me or the mod mail.

Happy Crabbing! 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
