Welcome to Lemmy NZ
We don’t have many members, so until that changes, feel free to subscribe to communities on other instances.
At the top of the screen click Communities, then rather than Subscribed or Local, instead choose All.
This will show all the communities (like subreddits) that are currently federated (connected) with this instance (site).
You can comment on posts in these communities and interact with them the same as users on that instance, and others can subscribe to and post in our communities too.
On the home page, try the “All” tab to see all posts from all instances we federate with.
If you want more information on Lemmy and how it works, see How does this all work, anyway?
Will do! It’s currently running on a $2/month VPS that I already had, so be sure to let me know if things are slow.
DM me if you want. We run fediservices.nz - Happy to sponsor this with a free NZ based VPS and anything else you need.
I went to register the domain and saw it was already taken 😅
That sounds great! I was just looking at upgrading the VPS in anticipation of more users come 12 June and 1 July, but if you’re offering :D
I’ll flick you a DM
