Good news for those who aren’t using Reddit anymore: this DT has almost twice as many comments as the one on Reddit. Thats good for us, since I and a few others were expecting a lot of people to zoom on back to Reddit the moment the sub reopened

One interesting thing I noted from a quick flick through, there seems to be a lot less replies to comments, but a similar amount or maybe even more upvotes than usual. Makes sense since the sub has about 600k members, and like 95% lurk (what’s that effect called again? The 90-9-1 rule I think?)

It probably won’t last though, I don’t think we’ll lose many people just put of losing interest at this point, but since Reddit is by far the larger platform and r/Melbourne the larger community, it’s just kinda basic maths that eventually more people will go to the larger community on the larger platform and start engaging there. But at least we have cemented ourselves as a solid alternative Melbourne community off Reddit!

My snake plant is suicidal. The leaves are literally crawling out of the pot.

I was today years old when I discovered that there was a comestible in the world called Deep Fried Spam Musubi. To be served with teriyaki sauce. Does anyone know of any place in Melbourne that sells them?
