Any chance of getting a community for rural areas set up? Maybe c/Outback or c/Bush or similar. For topics specifically related to rural areas
I think in the long term if we continue growing, it would be best to separate this into communities for each state/territory, at least the large ones. Such as r/Vic and r/NSW over on Reddit. But while it’s still quietish here, I think a single jumbo community for basically all non urban areas would be fine
And another:
Would we be able to get an Australian Trains or Australian Transport community running? I don’t think it’s worthwhile creating train related communities for every city, so this would essentially serve as a transport community for everywhere else in Aus outside the major cities.
I think Melbourne and Sydney are still deserving of their own communities, but [email protected] is fairly inactive, so if the over abundance of PT related communities is a concern, I’d be open to polling the few members over there on whether they’d be in favour of closing it off to new posts and redirecting people to the AusTrains community instead
Nah, you’re like half the posts in SydneyTrains, thanks for keeping it active!
Imo, SydneyTrains and MelbourneTrains have enough activity to justify keeping. BrisbaneTrains is pretty much dead, so we could either just leave it, or run a poll and if everyone was in agreeance, leave a redirect notice to this new AusTransport community and ask people to post their instead
As for the potential crossover between Melb/Syd and AT, I would view it like how there’s Sydney, Melbourne, brisbane, etc, communities as well as an Australia community. Usually things specifically related to cities or states with their own communities would go in those communities, but sometimes whoever’s doing the posting thinks they’re significant enough to be relevant to the Australia wide comm, too
