Cheers, yeah I think it's actually a really good idea to seed new communities with the top 20 posts from the previous subreddit. Gives a base to start from. Seems like there was mixed support on your linked thread.

Will have to look at making a bot myself..

If you need any help doing it, there are a bunch of very knowledgeable and helpful people in the Lemmy.nz Matrix chat - #lemmynz:matrix.org. If you haven't signed up to Matrix yet, there's an NZ instance of it at mtrx.nz.

Found this! https://lemmit.online/

Perhaps the simple answer is to post in the request community asking for /r/newzealand to be added.

Oh, nice. Just requested it and their bot made the community almost instantly. Might put up a post about it here.

Nice. Do we need guidelines about using it? Like sure you can subscribe, but what about cross posting to !newzealand?

Cross posts ok? Guidelines on not cross posting questions just links (articles etc) because the questions don't come with the answers? Any thoughts?

I've put up a post about it because I think all the Reddit refugees will be keen, at least in the short term. I think we should have this discussion there so everyone can have their input. It will get lost here.
