What is the rational behind creating another version of a healthy and popular community?
Was there a moderation issue? Is this just to diversify the instances? Isn't this antithetical to your previously demonstrated campaigns to consolidate conversations on a topic to a single community?

  Isn’t this antithetical to your previously demonstrated campaigns to consolidate conversations on a topic to a single community?
  I always said that parallel communities were fine as long as there was a reason to have a separation, be it technical, about moderation, or culture.
  Also, Ask communities are quite popular, this is not going to be the same news articles shared across three communities and splintering the discussion.
  Finally, if someone wants to comment under each of the posts on !ask@lemm.ee about !asklemmy@lemmy.world and !asklemmy@lemmy.ml, feel free.
  
  sounds good

So, replicating communities is bad unless it is you replicating them?
- Having separate communities with very low activity prevents their growth. Consolidation can be discussed if the mods are okay with it. On the other hand, if there are issues with the instance where the communities are located, then giving a try at another version of the community might help.
  I really hope that both !asklemmy@lemmy.world and !asklemmy@lemmy.ml, being among the most active communities of the instance, won't mind me starting another one.
  For the delay between LW and aussie.zone: https://aussie.zone/post/17712350
  They currently have more than one-day of delay:

  For .ml: https://feddit.nl/post/16246531
  
  I really hope that both (...) won't mind me starting another one.
  So, it is OK for you to do that but not for others, yes?
  Perhaps it is the issue of control? Locking inconvenient subjects, like you just have done in this "your new community"?

@asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev , would you like to help me mod? You seem to be doing a good job on the LW version. I know you don't have a lemm.ee account, but it seems like with 0.19.9 most of the mod actions should work, we can at least give it a try
- Sure. Since Lemmy version 1.0.0 seems to be coming pretty soon (which should fix the reports federation issue), I'm assuming I won't need to create a new account on lemm.ee. The community is pretty small right now anyway, so I'm not expecting any reports at the moment.
  
  Thank you for accepting, you are now a mod!
  I've just had two reports yesterday, but hopefully the number should indeed stay low

What's wrong with Aussie.zone
- Here you go: https://aussie.zone/post/18420943
  
  I'm not really understanding, is it you want to defederate from Aussie.zone because we're slow to update?
- 99.99% of the time you see the phrase "power tripping admins" it means "Someone asked me to follow the rules".
  
  So are you okay with this? https://feddit.nl/post/16246531

I'll promote it more widely later, in the meantime, feel free to chime in
- feel free to chime in
  Don't bother folks unless the subject you are going to raise is convinient for him. Otherwise it will be locked 😁
  
  I just unlocked your thread, but sure
