The issue is that some of them already have instances, but only 1 sub so I'd be talking to myself all day long The female userbase is virtually non-existent and until that changes I'm forced to stay on Reddit for relevant news and financial advice. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] jet@hackertalks.com 18 points 3 years ago !skincare@lemmy.world !weddingplanning@lemmy.world !engagementrings@lemmy.world !kpopthoughts@lemmy.world !indiemakeupandmore@lemmy.world If we are going to do this, lets do it properly! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 years ago (1 child) Yes I hope that !personalfinance@lemmy.ml gets some more traction over time, there is definitely a gap in that area. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Deca@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago* (3 children) Yep as someone based in Australia I'm also missing AusFinance as the US instance wouldn't even apply to us due to regional differences.
