Not all NZ content is on this instance, so I thought it would be helpful to create a list of NZ focused communities (with some level of filtering) to help people find what they are looking for.
Links are handled a bit weird at the moment in Lemmy. These communities will be linked to the Lemmy.nz page for the community, to make it easier for our users to subscribe. If you’re on another instance, the page will give you a community address to copy to the search bar of your instance, e.g. “[email protected]”. Copy this to the search form, click search, and wait 5-10 seconds for it to show up (quicker if someone else has searched before you).
Communities marked as (new) may not have much content yet.
General
- [email protected] - share posts about Aotearoa. For NZ related posts that don’t fit better in another community.
- !offtopic[email protected] - For memes, random thoughts, or discussion of international news for NZers.

If you have found any others that are starting to get traction or would make a good complement to these, then reply below!
I actually agree too.
Hey, are you able to interact if you follow OPs links? I’m having trouble.
kbin.social seems a bit hit and miss for federation working. I can find kbin magazines on no.lastname.nz but no content is pulling through last time I checked.
I just searched on kibin for https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] and it’s not there. https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] works (as expected)
Thanks… yeah I think I just need to be patient and keep buying Ernest coffees.
