Comment on [META] Participation by non-Australians? Should we change this comm's display name?
eureka@aussie.zone 1 day agoAs for moderation: let me know if you want to throw your hat in.
I can throw my hat in to try and make it more of an aussie-focused comm (there are some easy wins, like missing sidebar, no deletion of clearly irrelevant posts, etc.) although ultimately, I suspect one of the big problems is a generic Lemmy news poster can type “world news” into the community field in the post form and this place shows up the same as the rest, so hopefully adjusting the comm title will help, instead of needing a full id change (e.g. /c/aussieworldnews).

I hereby dub thee “Eureka - Moderator of the World ~news~!”
I’m open to the idea of renaming the Community. There’s no Admin tool to do that, but I expect that a couple of edits to the database will permit it to happen. I feel like we need a flow chart for this: Do we rename the community?
If yes, Rename would be preferred to abandoning it and leaving over a year of posts behind. There’s no Admin tool to do this, so I’ll want to spin up a test community/rename it in the database before trying that approach on World News.
That’s a problem for future Nath - and only if we go ahead and rename the Community.

Moderator of the World, mmm I like the sounda that!
Definitely a future problem – there’s no rush and we’d want to find a good one before trying a db change. Federation could be an issue so can’t hurt to ask devs before tinkering. Honestly, I think just a title change should be enough .
