Seems like there is an appetite from a few people from aussie.zone so that you guys can be kept up-to-date.

Pinging a few other people that are usually interested in this kind of stuff.

Potential instances:

lemm.ee
lemmy.zip

If you have any other in mind, feel free to suggest.

The aussie.zone admin already said they would prefer aussie.zone to stay Australia-centric: https://aussie.zone/comment/13030189

Perhaps Lemmy.Cafe?

Lemm.ee and Lemmy.zip are both quite large and active instances (with 3,000 and ~~500~~ active monthly users, respectively), where as .Cafe is still quite small, which would help spread the load better.

Appealing aspects:

Established and trusted instance with an active admin
Updates to the latest lemmy versions quickly
Defederated with only a handful of extreme instances, giving it excellent reach across the threadiverse
Participates in Lemmy-Federate, making it easier for a new community to get started
General use instance, making any community appropriate

I'm going to be moving a couple of my communities from Lemmy.World to .Cafe shortly, and the admin was more than happy to host them when I asked, so I imagine he'd feel the same about an Ask community. Something to consider at least. :)
