  Ahh. Right. Thanks for bearing with me as a new user who is trying to figure things out.

  Yes, I happened upon that community at lemmy.ml because I happened upon it by following links from lemmy.world I think. I clicked the big green Subscribe button at lemmy.ml/c/lemmy . I got a dialogue box “Subscribe from Remote Instance. Enter the instance you would like to follow this community from”, and entered aussie.zone

  This process worked fine for other communities I subscribed to.

  But for this one I got the “Server error” message. (I was later able to subscribe successfully by copy-pasting the community address into the aussie.zone search.)

  Cool! For new users who aren’t familiar with Lemmy, I think it’d be great to see suggestions for communities to join when first encountering the home page. That’d help newbies understand what “communities” are all about, give them get a sense of what types of topics are discussed here on Aussie.zone and help them find and subscribe to some communities of interest.

  What do you reckon? Would it be feasible to add a link to few of the most popular / flagship communities to the homepage sidebar, and perhaps a [See all Communities] link underneath? Perhaps there are cons I haven’t thought of. Cheers!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NSW National Parks seeking feedback on proposed changes re. camping fees and bookings⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s more that it’s very easy (and now free) to book a campsite and there’s zero incentive for people to cancel bookings they aren’t going to use.

  Ghost bookings would be a labour intensive way to limit the number of people at campsites (ParkVics would have far easier ways to do that) and Bookings contractor commissions? On free bookings? That wouldn’t be very lucrative.

  Sounds good… Could I ask for the TLDR for those of us who are new here and don’t know much about the Lemmy-verse and backend?

  Yep, good to hear the in-laws echoing criticism of Dutton this weekend - because they’re appalled he’s intending to copy Trump and Musk

  The importance of internal public sector roles such as communications is something we need to continue to talk about to people who are worried about governments wasting money. We need to make it apparent to everyone that they are essential for basic, frontline public systems to work effectively. Our schools, hospitals, pollution control, roads… all rely on ‘backend’ systems and communication between different arms of government.
  The major tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas (yes, we’re talking the US, not a poverty stricken nation) is becoming a problem because there are no communications between public health departments and agencies - because Trump has halted their funding.
