Seems like there is an appetite from a few people from aussie.zone so that you guys can be kept up-to-date.

Pinging a few other people that are usually interested in this kind of stuff.

im all for non .world/ml communities. I believe for the fediverse to scale, we need to spread communities out.. especially popular ones.

that said one of the benefits of an 'ask' community is inherently eyeballs. the more people that see the question might have have input. people are difficult to herd into new things

Very valid point. On the other hand, even [email protected] isn't that active (an argument brought up about people complaining with the new rule about no US politics - it's not that busy in the first place), so we could maybe counter that by having a more active community, and promote it on the usual channels
