That’s so cool you’ve started a new community. You should make a post from !earlychildhood@quokk.au explaining what it’s about (I know pretty self explaining really but you know) and it’ll land on the homepage. If it’s just Melbourne based then post it in !melbourne@aussie.zone. It’ll still end up on the home page.
The community is showing up fine for me. There may have been a little bit of a delay if this is the first time aussie.zone users have looked at Quokk.au communities. First-time federation can take a couple of minutes.
Ahh - now I see what you mean. It isn’t showing up in local communities because it isn’t a local community. That interpretation of “local” means “local to aussie.zone”, not local to Australia. As the community lives on Quokk.au, it isn’t local as far as Lemmy is concerned.
!melbourne@lemmy.world exists, for example - but it won’t show up on local communities, because it lives on lemmy.world.

Good luck with your new job tomorrow!
I think they are running their own instance.
I think you are correct but I didn’t know how to put it into those words. If that’s the case then disregard everything I said.

Anyway, it’s fine, now. I didn’t do anything.
Oh ok. It’s not showing up on the list of local communities for me. I don’t know enough about this kind of stuff though.
