Looks like there’s 341 subscribers in this group! Heck yeah!
.. still feel like there are missing peeps though
We’re missing just_kitten. Does she have DMs turned on on reddit, does anyone know? I’ll try to reach out to her
I just messaged her
5ivesos? are they back?
I haven’t seen them in here. Unless they too chose a different name
thanks, just messaged
there's also another person whose Reddit handle I don't remember. Only thing I recall is she's around 50 and has a partner and not too long ago went up to QLD on a holiday and came back and I think has one child and looking to get back into the workforce. My memory has been on the fritz recently
and is kidwithgreyhair here?
edit: just messaged both
I just messaged upyourmerricreek but I don't know if I did it right because I'm old.
you're a champ!
bindlesspins?
maybe?
Nah, but I've just messaged her.
Mmm. Not ringing a bell. But I’ve not been active in the DT for the last month and a half because of work so I’m a little out of the loop
all good, no stress
bums me out that many might have missed the (tiny?) window when this link was kicking around before r/melb got locked up and not even know this place exists. i feel like the reddit thing might fizzle out and we all end up back there, but who knows
I mean I’m ok with this place being temporary and we all head back when it re-opens or stay idk 🤷♀️
But yeah seriously odd that they mentioned midnight and 4pm you couldn’t post anymore. Lucky I saw someone’s comment with the link and had 30 mins to an hour until they closed shop (11-11:30pm)
I rather people know this here exist so they don’t feel out of sorts. I would miss everyone too much if I was away for too long. I struggled with 2 days
i wanted to post SKY PRETTY but couldn't
Omg that’s what I wrote as well and went to click post but nothing happened. Tried it 3 different time with several minutes given between pressing post and nada lol we both thought to post the same thing
Same for me! I didn't check the thread until 11pm. Or I'd have missed the whole thing.
Looks like we were lucky
It is listed on the r/melbournereborn pinned post, so the link is still out there but yeah, you have to go hunting for it
the r/melbourne message only links to the discord though so people might not be able to find the reborn sub
Is there anyone who used the Melbourne discord and has linked this place as a just in case?
i could try posting the link there but there are SO many messages i day i doubt anyone would see it. I don't recognize the user names there either
I believe you can pin a post but it's not the easiest to find even if it's pinned which sort of defies the purpose. Is Juggernaut one of us?
I have no idea. It might be awkward for me to pin a post there too since I don’t participate.
I just hope melbabouttown is OK. I felt that she may have really needed the dt to keep in touch with humans.
Oh yeah. I think others have messaged her? Anyway I just did.
I tried but there was no chat function. I don't know. I just hope she finds us.
Chat function is unreliable. New chat doesn't show up on the reddit app. I expanded the her profile to reach the message button.
Hopefully she joins us.
I feel like we're on the titanic lifeboat paddling around for survivors
I'm just trying to remember their names. Lol
Fair enough
It's a really impressive uptake honestly. So happy so many regulars came over
me too, I'm so glad, especially since most are people I converse with on pretty much the daily
Has nufan turned up yet?
Nah not yet. Hopefully soon
