I like following local Aussie news, world news, true crime, and I'm big into hip hop and metal music. TV and movies are always good to keep up to date on too.

For Aussie news you want !australia@aussie.zone, !australianpolitics@aussie.zone, and !news@aussie.zone.

For world news, there's !worldnews@aussie.zone for a community based on world news from an explicitly Australian perspective. There's also !world@quokk.au and !world@lemmy.world.

For true crime, it looks like !truecrime@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !truecrime@lemmy.world both exist but are not super active, so you may need to initiate the conversation there a bit more than you would be used to from Reddit.

!hiphopheads@sopuli.xyz is relatively active, and so is !metal@lemmy.world. There are also a few dedicated to subgenres of metal that you can find by doing a "Community" search for "metal".

There are a few TV and movie–related Communities, like !movies@lemmy.world, !movies@piefed.social, and !television@piefed.social. A few other specific franchises/shows have their own Communities as well.

Thank you so much for all the links to these communities!

I noticed one more after I made that, which is !onthetelly@aussie.zone, for Australian TV specifically.
