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?

Wait, I'm supposed to maintain it?

You could end up with a lot of work when all those reddit subs go dark!

Haha yes, it's terrifying. We should probably plan for it. It's hard to know how to plan for it, though!

Probably should upgrade from the $2/month 1 core 2GB RAM VPS it's currently running on. Though it seems to be doing ok, oddly RAM seems like the biggest problem (larger instances say it's CPU), but there is some stuff I can do to mitigate that. And it's not really a huge problem.

It would be good to build up a userbase ahead of that time to work out when things start getting slow. So far I think most issues have been with federation, partly because of slow instances we are federating with but also some odd ones still unsolved.

If it gets to that stage - Patreon is a pretty decent way to get support! I'm supporting my Mastodon instance through there. There's also an Open Collective thing https://opencollective.com/ocnz

Hey thanks for the thought, I've actually had a VPS donated by fediservices.nz so we should be sorted as soon as I can get us migrated.

Any donations can go their way: https://opencollective.com/nz-federated-services
