I love putting things in boxes, it's my hobby you see, so I'd like to hear other people's thoughts and perspectives on this.

But my point is pretty straightforward: there is an overarching aussie.zone community, and as long as the sidebars are well-connected to aid discovery (and they're already pretty good), there's no point in having news and politics spread across three different communities, and we just end up with redundant crossposting creating parallel conversations.

It would be great to clarify the relationship between /c/australia, /c/news and /c/australianpolitics.

i think sadly the community isn’t big enough, been keeping an eye on the daily users and it’s been hovering around 150 users for a while now, 0 growth

iirc someone said something along the lines of you start with the broadest tent possible and then as the place fills out it will naturally expand outward and create smaller tents for more specific categories

so i’m in favour of merging them and hope we reach a point in the future where we need to separate them
