  • Doesn't matter. Seems like federation has issues all over. I ended up joining aussie.zone to check since no one else could bother to help me out.

    I deleted all the posts and reposted them with a local account.

    This thread is a recent similar situation.

    It appears if they don't show up after X hours, that deleting and resubmitting is the only option. But, you have to check if they have failed to federate manually because it looks totally normal on the poster's end.

    The only way around this, perhaps for now, is to join the instance directly and centralise around your posts. Which defeats the point of federation. Hopefully they fix it. Some instances have increased their federation workers as a setting to clear the backlog but maybe there is only so much work they can do and some are missed.

  • It's possible from the aussie.zone instance that this reply is also missing.

  • Ok, this thread turned up 3h after posting.

    4 posted threads missing in !environment still. Weird.

  • This meta thread also doesn't not appear in the aussie.zone instance when viewing in browser.

    @[email protected], I'm calling you in manually to check. Sorry.

  • Difference in viewing from instances

    [email protected] when viewed from my logged in beehaw account has 8 submissions.

    Viewing from unlogged in aussie.zone has 4 submissions.

    Can a logged in aussie.zone member tell me how many submissions they see in [email protected], please?

    I'm aware this is not a likely aussie.zone problem, more of a federation issue that people are reporting all over Lemmy. Just be aware.

    Can a user who signed up on Aussie.zone create communities on other instances?
  • And Jerboa has multi-account support for other readers.

    I also read that you can set up multiple PWA on your phone for each instance if that's required.

  • Australian banks lack commitment to stop financing deforestation, hindering net zero policies and under-reporting of financed greenhouse gas emissions. Banks can play a pivotal role in protecting nature and combating climate change.

    Can a user who signed up on Aussie.zone create communities on other instances?
  • I'll take a guess.

    Defederation issues. Instance failing.

    Example: beehaw defederated from the 2 big instances. Lodion, if we use aussie.zone as an example, wasn't 100% sure of aussie.zone's future.

    Without account migration available like Mastodon has, having more than one account allows the full experience.

    Edit: and the point of this thread, creating communities can be limited.

  • Cheers. I'll hover over some things when I get on computer rather than click randomly on mobile.

    Can you make this the icon. I know it's not Australian but that's how we treat the environment here. Want to see what it looks like, please. Can sort it out later if aussie.zone goes consistent icon styles.

    Can you just add in to the sidebar please:

    Many urban waterways were once waste dumps. Restoration efforts have made great strides – but there’s more to do to bring nature back

    theconversation.com Many urban waterways were once waste dumps. Restoration efforts have made great strides – but there's more to do to bring nature back

    Urban rivers and creeks have bounced back from early colonial use as convenient waste dumps. But the restoration work isn’t done yet, as Melbourne’s Darebin Creek shows.

  • Without looking, edit how? Like the sidebar?

  • theconversation.com 97% of Australians want more action to stop extinctions and 72% want extra spending on the environment

    A new survey finds Australians care deeply about the environment but many are not aware of the full extent of biodiversity loss.

    Most Australians (97%) want more action to protect nature, even if they don’t know the full extent of the biodiversity crisis. This has led the World Economic Forum to declare biodiversity loss as the third most severe threat humanity will face in the next ten years.

    Encouragingly, almost everyone (97%) wanted more action to conserve biodiversity.

    This shows that even when awareness is limited, people value nature and recognise the importance of protecting our natural environment.

    More than 70% of people also support: banning logging in native forests introducing laws to prevent domestic cats roaming the streets requiring businesses to report their impact on nature establishing new protected areas (such as national parks) at places with high biodiversity. Significantly, very few people opposed these policies (between 3% and 9% across the suite of policy options).

  • Thanks. I appreciate it.

    Someone downvoted the thread so I'm not sure if that's dissent or what. Hard to know without any comment.

  • @[email protected]

    No one had any comment. Can you please make an "Environment" community and I'll mod it. Thank you.

    Australian Environment-related Community

    On reddit there were a few Australian communities like birds, plants, animals, gardening etc.

    As Lemmy is a fraction of the users, can we have a community that encompasses them all, then splits later if Lemmy takes off.

    I was guessing "AustralianFlora&Fauna", then renaming community to flora and making a new fauna later.

    BUT, that doesn't cover gardening as flora sounds like native vegetation.

    Thoughts? "Green", "Outside", "Environment", etc? Environment could cover everything including gardening. For now. Could pad up Environment with news articles too.

  • Thanks for this!

    I tested my site devoted to a particular environmental issue with great trepidation (not a coder or programmer so built it off the shelf)...

    A. Phew!

  • Generalised communities or specific?

    What do we think is best?

    If we start bringing in all the reddit-style groups, there would be a lot of niche areas.

    For example: Australian Plants, Australian Birds, Australian Wildlife, Gardening Australia, Permaculture Australia and that's just a fraction of niche areas under a larger umbrella.

    Now, all this above could be under Environment or Green or something similar but at some point, if this instance got popular, would need to be fractured apart. What is best? General or lots of communities for now?

    Personally I think General but later on down the track, it means some contained content would be lost to the move and it's a start again process.

    Advertising this instance should be right, mate?

    I just threw a post on lemmy.ml/c/Australia mentioning this instance. I saw it was in some comments but wanted it a bit more visible.

    I hope that's OK. I think instance and community advertisement should be allowed for a while so people can coalesce to the more appropriate ones rather than fragment everywhere.

    It's a zippy little instance too! Hopefully this stays up.

    New Australian and City communities at the aussie.zone instance

    Rather than fragmented groups, get your Australiana posting in at the Aussie Zone Communities. No affiliation other than living in Australia.

    Has cities, sports, politics so far and will add more as needed. It even has Perth and thankfully no Tasmania.

    Would like to turn this community into photos of trees, not /c/marijuanaenthusiasm.

    lemmy.ml trees - Lemmy

    This is a community for cannabis and all related products.

    Before the Cannabis fans repeat the tired tropes of reddit, how do people feel about making an actual photos of trees group so this community can stay more generalised? Could the above link be the one?

    https://sh.itjust.works/c/trees could be the marijuana one?

    I know this is a bit meta but it's early days in community design and figured it's prudent.

    Trees

    The sidebar states "This is a community for cannabis and all related products."

    How about you take the community called "marijuanaenthusiasts" and leave the trees for people that actually like trees?

    Do we need to bring the tired old reddit tropes over for every community? Looks like [email protected] can be the "funny" trees. Let's make this one the "real" trees?
