Discussion about the aussie.zone instance itself

founded 1 year ago

Wondering if there's value in an Australia wide community as well? Some stuff just doesn't fit so well under 1 city

Or should we be linking to c/Australia from another federated server?

Haven’t looked…is there one?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like there is one on lemmy.ml.

Hopefully that link works, I thnk I found the correct format to send people there without leaving this instance.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yep, that worked perfectly!

There’s definitely more activity here. I wonder if it would be better to create a new one here just so it can be properly moderated if needed. Last activity over there was 2 years ago.

@[email protected] - what do you think?

There are some newer posts over there when sorting by 'New', I have no idea why the 'Hot' posts are so old with no activity on them though.

I agree that we should either have a new community here or add a link to the other community in a sticky / server sidebar note so that we can have more general discussion somewhere.

I vote make one here. Makes sense to have all Aussie forums moderated in one place.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeh I also reckon it makes sense to have it here from a moderation sake and also just more easily findable, at least until there's some better ability to merge across different communities

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are a bunch across the Lemmy verse. Here is one https://exploding-heads.com/c/australia

Sort of a shame Lemmy does not have a merge function where an instance could merge all the communities on the same subject together

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm hoping that comes soon, user manageable merge lists so I can deal with nice.place/c/Australia and fun.people/c/Australia but not echo.chamber/c/Australia

I think it makes sense to add a general Australia community on this instance, with the same vibe as /r/australia. Yes there are a couple of communities already on other instances, but they are not active at all - mostly 1 person posting a bunch of stuff.

If all the Aussies are going to gravitate to this instance for all the other communities, I'd rather have everything under one roof.

I think there is one on exploding heads, although no one posts there, also can you see this, thought i was banned here lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's one on lemmy.ml, too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Cool, hopefully is active
