Discussion about the aussie.zone instance itself

founded 2 years ago
MODERATORS
 

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

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

[–] 24Vindustrialdildo@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years 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

[–] 404@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

Haven’t looked…is there one?

[–] Cruxil@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years 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.

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.

@lodion@aussie.zone - what do you think?

[–] Cruxil@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] 404@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years 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
