How do you create a community?
I'd be keen to set up or support a Wellington community on the NZ lemmy :)
Hey, so we are currently less than 100 users so having users create communities is currently disabled. For most things, other communities on the Lemmyverse are a better fit.
However, location-based ones make a lot of sense. It sounds like you'd like a Wellington one. Anyone else want a region specific one?
I'm on another instance but I'd love to see an Ōtautahi one!
If you missed it, I've now created a South Island one. https://lemmy.nz/c/southisland

I second something for Ōtautahi, the r/chch subreddit was handy.
Can we get a community for Australia ?
You could probably join the one for the west coast
It probably doesn't make sense to do that on the NZ Lemmy?
You could check out https://aussie.zone or lemmy.perthchat.org
One for either the South Island in general or Otago/Dunners could be neat!
The main NZ-based subreddit that I'm missing though is the NZ Medicinal Cannabis one, any interest in replicating something like that over here?
I don't want to step on @Dave@lemmy.nz 's toes as he seems to have given this instance much thought.
I did spin an instance up that I am now thinking to push more in an environmental / wildlife space eg New Zealand Wildlife
I had also created Trees - I think that may need either lots of moderation or none
@cnnrduncan@beehaw.org @jennifilm@beehaw.org @cloventt@lemmy.nz Do you think the separation of Ōtautahi and Otago would be prudent or is a combined south island one ok? Maybe while there aren't many users, start with one for the south island, then split it up if it gets too hard to manage together?
Awesome! (I was the creator of /r/palmy back on the R-site but I don't live there anymore 😅)
I've created !wellington, no sidebar or icon or anything yet but you should be able to post to it :)
Kia ora @Dave@lemmy.nz any chance we can get a Tāmaki Makaurau | Auckland community set up?
If I want to create a community on another instance do I need to host my own instance or make an account on that instance?
I was going to ask for one for Kava, but I found one here: https://lemmy.nz/c/kava@lemmy.ml
