Does anyone else find it comfy here having the local relevant Australian related stuff come up here first? (aussie.zone)

I did the boomer move, trying figure out how to use the fediverse and I made a account for each instance. I realize I didn't need to do that and made one here. It's nice to see things like Gardening, enviroment, city subs, etc ANY social media is a constant eye rape of American politics. Not my problem.

https://lemmyverse.net/ is the one I'm talking about. You can use that to improve your subscribed list over time.

Since community creation has gone mental all over with people trying to recreate reddit (we have a chance to build something better than reddit 1.5!), I'm finding it difficult to find good communities so far.

Perhaps we should keep a list of related Aussie communities in a Meta thread here, if other people see posting from aussie.zone users, it might make some of the communities here the default ones in the early days to prevent dilution as the user base slowly increases. This is the greatest risk I think, tens of servers or communities with 1 or 2 posts each scaring away new users that are on the fence. One community with 40 posts and comments looks much better.
