Hey, welcome to everyone arriving from the /r/BuyAussie post. We've had a big influx of signups today and it's great to see.
The site is still early and the community is small, but it's actively developed and I'm working on it daily. A few things that might help you get started:

  • Browse the existing communities and subscribe to anything that interests you
  • Create a community if there's a topic you care about that doesn't exist yet
  • The Feedback button in the bottom-right corner goes straight to me if you find bugs or have suggestions

Thanks for checking out the site!

Excited to be part of this new venture, would gladly trade a US platform for an Aussie website.

Nice work dude. Keen to give it a few Reddit mins each day.
It'd be so nice to have an Aussie alternative, even a little would be great

Found your post in BuyAussie and signed up. Definitely keen to support Australian owned Social Media so we can break away from the US craziness.

Thanks for signing up! Glad to have you on board. Australia's always punched above its weight - no reason we can't do the same with social media.

That's how I found you. And, look, I was early enough to get my name!

This is what we need more of! More Australian focused, independent online media. Well done! Lets hope this takes off.

We're a very capable country and having travelled a bit, genuinely one of the nicest places to live on the planet. Hopefully more stuff gets made locally.

I'm fully behind moving away from US companies and appreciate the considerations you have made (privacy first etc.).

1 question: Which hosting company are you using?

Binary Lane, they use NextDC facilities in Melbourne, so it's not with any US provider.

Thanks for posting in BuyAussie, otherwise I might never have come across this locally grown and owned site.
Here’s to being weaned off Reddit.
