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?

        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.

          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.

                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

      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.
