I don’t want to step on @[email protected] 's toes as he seems to have given this instance much thought.
I actually just stole someone else’s thoughts :P
I’m happy to point Trees type traffic to your community if you’re wanting to build that up. However, I’m not sure that /r/trees was quite the same as an NZ medicinal cannabis one. @[email protected] am I right that you’re thinking of something a bit different to an /r/trees style sub?
If you’re willing to drive this then I’m happy to support you in building your community. We can avoid a community like that here and point people to your community.
I’m wondering if we need some sort of wiki like reddit has, to help people find what they are looking for. Perhaps a pinned post to start with, but I feel eventually we will need a wiki (I don’t think Lemmy has this, but there are plenty of options we can host to fulfill this need - with the caveat being I don’t know of an option that will let you use your fediverse account to edit).
@[email protected]@[email protected]@[email protected] 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?
I reckon starting more general with a South Island one and creating more specific communities if/when there’s enough of us to actually justify it is a pretty good idea!
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 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

Hi @[email protected]
As this is a completely new new community to build then why not build c/trees as a medical or life affirming space.
I’m not a user of /trees for rec. or medical use but do see it’s use as beneficial for many reasons (and shrooms)

Wait till there’s more users here. Otherwise it’ll just be you in there.
I’m in Dunedin, so would subscribe to that one too ;)

I’d say start with a South Island one until there are more users. I’m also based in the South Island so keen to join if it’s available.
