A Kiwi focussed aerospace community would suit I think.

1. It's not specific to one corporate entity.
2. The community itself would decide what's on/off topic.
3. When rocketlab inevitably gets rebranded iysnot right there in the community name.

Rocketlab and dawn aerospace are the only two I know of

I feel this is a quite different audience, which is something we sorta need to work out.

Currently, every local community we have is specifically for NZ people. Whether they have their account on this instance or not, the content is not really that targeted (or interesting) to someone with no ties to NZ.

Adding a community about NZ space companies would again mean that the community is focused for NZers.

On the other hand, a Rocket Lab community would be a more general interest community. People with no ties to NZ at all would join and participate, and the fact it's hosted on lemmy.nz would be incidental.

So the question is whether we want these sorts of general interest communities on Lemmy.nz, or if we want all our communities targeted at NZers and NZ adjacent users only.

I don't really have a preference either way myself. Ultimately whether it's here or on another instance we can still access it.
