That damn Melbourne community has posts with 400+ comments. Honestly, what is going on here?

It's the middle of winter, so I know we're all still surfing and drinking in the beer gardens while they have nothing to do but chatter while they freeze their nuts off, but still...put some damn effort in people.

This is effort. There... You happy? I'm in Sydney. I'm fucking miserable :P

Things are looking up.. its Friday!

You’re a bloody legend! Do it again.

But seriously, don’t be miserable. There’s only 191 days until Christmas.

Be the change you want to see!

At least, that's what I'm trying to do for !brisbane.

I was having a look through one of their daily threads, and there was a bunch of active /r/melbourne people that were basically saying they had migrated to lemmy. They were contacting each other on reddit (PM I guess) and then just joining up.

Mass migration lol. So they 3 times more subscribers and seems like these were the core of /r/melbourne.

I felt r/Sydney was not anywhere as active compared to r/Melbourne and the dynamic is probably going to be the same here… but when visitors asked for help that’s when it seemed most active. Oh and when the Surry Hills building caught on fire. Maybe let’s start with a what to do in Sydney thread!

Don’t give an arsonist a good ideas!

Absolutely spot on about the relative dynamics of the subreddits. And I think r/melbourne was promoting a link to aussie.zone for a while which explains the big shift there.

However....I've got a packet of matches if you've got a spare building!

Quality versus quantity? 🤣

Hey you guys are getting more than the Newcastle community!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Personal hygiene is the key to getting more my Newcastle friend.

Brisbane seems pretty active now too. Maybe they did the same thing an got a core group of Redditors to migrate at the same time?

Is a bit depressing how dead the Sydney group is.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Get that content flowing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I was about to post the same. How did we end up with 5 comments v their 400? I don’t have much to post honestly. I can whinge if you like. Haha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Whingers are posters too! Equal rights for all!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One of their daily random threads hit 600+ posts, so looks like they're just a bunch of spammers. We need to up our shit talking folks!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Damn right.

Someone with a walk like you is probably pretty damn good at a ninja shit post too.
