On reddit there were a few Australian communities like birds, plants, animals, gardening etc.

As Lemmy is a fraction of the users, can we have a community that encompasses them all, then splits later if Lemmy takes off.

I was guessing “AustralianFlora&Fauna”, then renaming community to flora and making a new fauna later.

BUT, that doesn’t cover gardening as flora sounds like native vegetation.

Thoughts? “Green”, “Outside”, “Environment”, etc? Environment could cover everything including gardening. For now. Could pad up Environment with news articles too.

      Thanks. I appreciate it.

      Someone downvoted the thread so I’m not sure if that’s dissent or what. Hard to know without any comment.

        No worries. Go post so I can mod you… just don’t edit the community. Another bug… remote mods editing communities will break them.

              OK, best someone local mods until it’s fixed then.

              Can you just add in to the sidebar please:

              An Australian community for everything from your backyard to beyond the black stump.

                As I understand you’re fine to mod comments/posts, just not edit the community.
                edit: I’ve modded you btw.

                  Cheers. I’ll hover over some things when I get on computer rather than click randomly on mobile.

                  Can you make this the icon. I know it’s not Australian but that’s how we treat the environment here. Want to see what it looks like, please. Can sort it out later if aussie.zone goes consistent icon styles.

          I wonder if they accept PRs for lemmybugs. I guess they’re smashed with 1000 contributors right now. I’d love to help fix that kinda stuff.

            They have a bunch of PRs waiting to be accepted… I’m sure more can’t hurt if you know Rust.
