From January 2025, Admins can be sent out in two different formats- Essential or Newsletter. This distinction was brought in because a lot of members objected to receiving non-essential information - https://discourse.ilovefreegle.org/t/admins-and-newsletters/8178 explains.
Here are a selection of standard Admins for your perusal. Feel free to use them as they are or adapt them to your needs.
