For those struggling to wean yourselves off Reddit, someone has made a bot that copies posts from subreddits to Lemmy so you can follow the subreddits from here. I made a post about doing something similar a couple of weeks ago.

They have their own instance at lemmit.online. The r/newzealand is clone is at !newzealand@lemmit.online.

Most of the communities there aren't showing up in the search here without the full link yet, so go to their list of local communities, open a community you want to subscribe to, then copy the link that looks like [!newzealand@lemmit.online](/c/newzealand@lemmit.online) from the sidebar into the search on Lemmy.nz (or your local instance). If the subreddit you want isn't listed on lemmy.online, you can post a request in !requests@lemmit.online. It was pretty much instant for me.
