Hi, I am new here! I have some newbie observations and suggestions, hope it's ok to post them here. It would be great to make high profile communities more obvious on the Aussie Zone home page e.g. on side bar, like they appear when viewing a post. Is this the place to chat about that?

Yep, /c/meta is the perfect place to discuss this. Or anything else meta relating to AZ.

Cool! For new users who aren't familiar with Lemmy, I think it'd be great to see suggestions for communities to join when first encountering the home page. That'd help newbies understand what "communities" are all about, give them get a sense of what types of topics are discussed here on Aussie.zone and help them find and subscribe to some communities of interest.

What do you reckon? Would it be feasible to add a link to few of the most popular / flagship communities to the homepage sidebar, and perhaps a [See all Communities] link underneath? Perhaps there are cons I haven't thought of. Cheers!

Not specific to AZ, but !communitypromo@lemmy.ca has a pinned post about that
