With the recent creation of US State/Territory communities on Quokk.au, I thought I should promote them all a bit. I know there are a few state comms across the Fedi already, but many are hosted on .world or completely dead.
Also if anyone is interested in moderating, @Bean@quokk.au has let me know she would like some help.
For a broad overview on topics, there is: !usa@quokk.au

Note that there is a reasonably-active California community already at !california@lemmy.world.
They mentioned that in the post…
but many are hosted on .world or completely dead.
The goal is to diversify content away from the big instances. It’s not healthy for the Fedi to be 90% centred around one instance.
By creating duplicate communities?
I mean, sure, I get choosing a new instance as a spot to host a new community, but mass-creating duplicate ones?
That was their choice, I’m just here to promote it as an option for people to be aware of.
It’s not healthy for the Fedi to be 90% centred around one instance.
As all 50 state communities are created on one instance.
Compared to thousands on LW.
There are thousands of state communities on .world? I have only seen a small handful.
Why act deliberately obtuse?
Ah I see, you moderate the LW New Mexico comm and are taking this personally.
There is also !washington@lemmy.world
Anyone else start singing bm that 50 niffty united States song? No just me? Ok I’ll take my ADHD ass to bed… Lol
My go-to is the Animaniacs version.
