New Australian and City communities at the aussie.zone instance

3 years ago by Treevan 🇦🇺 to c/australia

Rather than fragmented groups, get your Australiana posting in at the Aussie Zone Communities. No affiliation other than living in Australia.

Has cities, sports, politics so far and will add more as needed. It even has Perth and thankfully no Tasmania.

I'm still getting used to Lemmy. But is there a reason we can't see the Aussie zone server in the Jerboa android app?

If it's the first time searched from your instance, it takes time to find. Couple that with the server load makes it even longer.

Search using the search function and put in a community like !australianpolitics@aussie.zone, that or the whole url, and wait till it appears. You can go back to search and search it again after doing something else.

If you don't have an account it seems it just uses lemmy.ml by default in Jerboa. If you want to use a different instance, you need to signup and then login.

For adding content from other instances, you can likely find it with https://browse.feddit.de/ (the built in communities search shows some but not all instances). Then e.g. if you're using lemmy.ml adding cricket community from aussie.zone:

https://lemmy.ml/c/cricket@aussie.zone

Interesting. I'm on lemmy.ml using Jeroba, when I go into the Canberra community in the app I can only see one post and one comment (my own), but when I look at the website there's four other comments. Any idea why that is? Is this the fault of the app? Or does it come down to the federated nature of Lemmy?

Mine is having the same issue. I checked with some other communities and it didn't seem to have that error. Can you check another instance and see if it's the same?

Could have been a federation error?

It's fine from the point you join though.

I had this until I set my languages to include English and undefined.

Once I did all the content appeared.

Thanks, hopefully that works for me.

Edit: worked like magic.
