Comment on Go Private?

Hello,
First of all, well done with the fast update!
I hope I’m not hijacking this thread as an non-aussie.zone users.
Meta communities tend to be useful for other users as well. For instance, the delay with LW was mostly discussed here, and allowed other users to refer to the issue. Lemmy.cafe for instance had an issue with thumbnails for a bit, and as the meta community was private, the post with the details could not be viewed by other instances users.
Maybe you could consider keeping this community public, and create another community that would be private?
The question doesn’t relate to making /c/meta private, but enabling the “private instance” feature added in 0.19.11. Content is still federated, but users/bots browsing to aussie.zone will be presented with no content until they log in.
And yes, much of the value of /c/meta is for non AZ users, I have no intention of making it private.

I’m not talking about making this community private. Its valuable as is.
0.19.11 adds the ability for an instance to not display content to non-logged in users. Non-AZ users would retain access to all AZ homed communities etc.

Oh, interesting, I misread that. That’s nice option.
