Aussie Zone has had communities for Environment, Politics and News for a while now, and while this is a general Australian community I would like to encourage people to post relevant content to those communities instead of this one. This will encourage the growth of those communities alongside this one.
The communities I’m talking about are: !environment@aussie.zone, !australianpolitics@aussie.zone and !news@aussie.zone. If you’re not an Aussie Zone member, it’s recommended to subscribe to these three communities to get the main “Australia” community. These communities are run under Aussie Zone rules so there should be no discrepancies in moderation.
In the future I may bring in another bot to cross-post top posts from those communities onto this one as locked posts pointing to the relevant community, however that will be separate from @dalekerrigan@aussie.zone so you can block those messages. Otherwise on the aussie.zone front page everything should be easily visible.
Please feel free to leave any feedback here.
FAQ
- What constitutes “news”?
- News posts are links to news articles that are neither opinion nor discussion pieces.
- Will this be enforced?
- There will be no bans issued solely over this. Posts in the wrong place will just get a reminder to post in the correct community and locked if no-one has started a discussion under it.
Seems the australian politics link isn’t working.
Seems to be working for me, they all point to aussie.zone however, I just had a go at creating a link to it on your instance and it appears to be having issues of its own, even on the front page
Weird, the other two worked for me. Blahaj definitely has a lot of growing pains though.
It might be because no-one from your instance has been to it yet. Try putting !australianpolitics@aussie.zone into the search box on your web client which might cause the community to federate
Checked with one of my instance admins and they said that it had been blocked inadvertently and has been restored now :)
