The only app I ever accessed Reddit with died (Slide) so here I am. Don't use Reddit on the bigger puters cuz they are for work only I guess. Rejoice for Slide for Lemmy is in development and that what's brought me here. It's a bit of a buggy alpha release though so I'm also testing Jerboa and Liftoff. Well now that I'm here it looks like there is enough crap for me to resume my regular evening doom scrolling (oh and morning, lunch, afternoon and potty scrolling).

Welcome me aboard folks and make me your new best friend, just like your old best friend before you unbestest them for me.

Glory glory maniacalmanicmania (also this sub is quiet as).

Once we start getting at least one sunset post per day here we’ll know Lemmy has made it.

We need to set some KPIs and whip everyone into line.

Does it count if we do the sunset picture using the replica bridge out near Liverpool (is that even still there)? That's faster for me to get to.

I have vague memories of someone posting images of this on /r/sydney earlier this year. I think it's up but has no pylons at either end.

There's also the smaller Sydney Harbour Bridge War Memorial at Callan Park built by Ngajanji man Douglas Grant. Haven't had a chance to check it out myself.

Welcome. Melbourne pretty much migrated entirely but Sydney is still four guys. Someday we’ll get there!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hope Melbourne leaves the culture they had behind.

Downvote != disagree, and mods would straight up ban someone they disagree with (not me btw lol)

What does Downvote == if Downvote != disagree?

Something that doesn't contribute to a discussion. Your can't really have a good discussion if dissenting opinions are hidden. Just encourages echo chambers.

I see, thanks 🙏

Maybe, they seem pretty happy over there now that the sub has reopened. Let them eat sunsets! Multiple sunsets every day of the week forever and ever!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And nonstop bridge pics don’t forget!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

That reminds me, I have an idea for a image post I'll make tomorrow. If I remember to go get a photo. It's on a bridge, but it's not a bridge.

Saw him at one of his usual hangouts Newtown Station the other day. Looks well but I saw him from afar. Was surprised when he and Smary showed up in the briefest of cameos in George Millar's last film.

If you're still scouting for apps, try wefwef. It's pretty amazing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Will do. Thanks for the tip!

Currently using it until some alternatives I'm interested in come along to compare

Just wait until we get some rainy days, then I'm sure we'll get flooded with Shitty Rail posts in no time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Why would you jinx us by mentioning rainy days! I was just beginning to look forward to another long dry streak.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Shhhhh! Everyone is sleeping 😆

But welcome, and enjoy your new home!

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

Thanks No1, you have the bridge, I'm heading to my ready room for an earl grey, hot.

Ah, a fellow Trekkie. Welcome to the Fediverse. I’ve been here a few weeks. Deleted my 8,000+ karma Reddit account and am happy in my new home. I’m using Memmy on iOS. Still in beta, but it’s working well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hey! It’s because of your post that I found this sub. I want to be welcomed as well!

I was 4 or 5 when that film played late one New Year's Eve. Dad walked in from the neighbours fireworks show and said "Such a great movie that", watched it with me for a bit and then went back to the party.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I wouldn't have slept for weeks if I saw that at 4 or 5.

I would never have never eaten chicken again, and maybe have avoided all pools, just in case....

Speak Friend and Enter (oh and welcome btw).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

New network, new identity time. I hope this will stick around and not be shit.

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

I brought my username with me. Kinda grew attached to it.

Sydney over on Reddit gave me the shits by locking down and just doing daily threads.
