Perth / Western Australia

Hi all, I've been thinking of doing this post for a while. This community can seem like a bit of a blog at times with most posts coming from me, is there anything thats missing that you think could improve this space as a community?

I'm happy for it to continue as it is if the community is performing a use people like, but how its mostly turned out wasn't the original intention.

The original intention for this community was to be an online space for West Australian fediversers, and anybody with an interest in Perth/WA, to communicate/share WA news and lifestyle posts.

I didn't think being a carbon copy of the Perth Reddit would be very interesting, (which is why my personal posting has always favoured very local articles and news-media outlets to give a different flavour), but I always had the full understanding that I would be just one person of a community deciding what use this space should have, and that its nature should evolve over time.

I was once told that this community is 'my thing' which disheartened me, because since its beginning three years ago I've wanted and tried to support others' involvement and their visions of what this space could be.

I've never done a post like this, but recently I've been getting a sense that maybe there is something about this space that is unwelcoming, but I can't see what it is, so please tell me if theres something off-putting and we can change course.

At the end of the day I want this space to be a community for WA fediversers, and people who have any interest in the state, but I can't do that on my own.

Excited to read people's thoughts. 🙂 Thanks for your time.
