Can anyone clarify what this community is for? The only post here suggests it’s to replace the auslaw subreddit, which is mostly lawyers shit-talking about the legal profession and a lot of fun. However it’s got the same name as the auslegal subreddit, which is a train wreck of non-lawyers asking other non-lawyers legal questions and getting terrible hot takes and badly Googled answers in reply.
Looks good. You’re right, you have to start somewhere and early would be better long-term (less work later).
I agree with your sorting but it’s still a fine line to tell them apart. There is a recent one currently in Aus which is both environmental and political.
To move posts do you have to crosspost, then lock or delete in the original community? I guess old school forums were better in that regard, moving was simple for a moderator and left a nice forwarding link behind.
Actually looks like a couple:
In both cases discussions are more likely to be focused on the political aspect, however would be of interest to both communities. A solution would be to have it posted to politics, cross-posted to environment and locked with link to politics post. Since you can still upvote/downvote locked posts, it wouldn’t get lost.
To get around these problems there would have to be some ordering like: politics > environment > australia > news. But it would have to become simple and obvious enough that there is very little moderation work.
That’s what I think, though it is preferred if the OP can crosspost it so they get the interaction (replies).
When you post news every day, the koala one is ancient history which is why I said recent.
I need to get a different hobby.
I respect the hustle sir/mam/per.
I’m the Dude. So that’s what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.
And I respect yours. Thanks for posting the car in to environment. I’ve been putting that sort of thing into [email protected] when I see them. Out of all the things to split out of environment, energy and renewables will be the first to go, I think. I skip a lot of the energy news hoping someone else will pick it up and run with it. I put a hard environment filter on energy, it has to be decently related. Could energy go into [email protected] and if politicians are fucking it up into !politics?
I’m glad you’re posting your mix in. We all appreciate it, I’m sure.
