These communities might be/stay small, but tend to contain very useful information to those looking for it.

    I’d rather not create communities that sit empty and unused. If you have a specific uni in mind, suggest a community name and I’m happy to create it. I want to avoid the problems seen on some other instances relating to hundreds of empty communities.

          Does Lemmy support some sort of tagging option? So you could post in uni and tags with RMIT or similar, or trains, then tag Adelaide when posting the articles about the Belair line having rock collapses a few times a week

            Not yet. It’s a feature that will likely come, it has been suggested.

            So yeah, it will get better. Don’t need a million communities yet.

          I disagree, (as a uni student) - the types of discussions in these communities are specific to each uni (staff drama, course selection, urban legends, etc) and not fit for an Australia wide community, where the only commonality might be HECS news

      This is fair, even at reddit’s scale the uni subs remained small. But certainly unimelb/Monash/usyd/unsw will need communities at some point (even if not now) judging by the popularity of their subs
