    Hello Melbourneians? Melbourneites? Person from almost the other side of the world here.

    How come this community is so active on Lemmy? I haven’t seen any other city pop up on my feed as often as yours. You regularly get more than a hundred comments each day in these discussion threads.

      We were a pretty active community back on Reddit,. especially during COVID.

      Many of us migrated here last year during the Reddit boycott/fuckery.

      We share random mundane shit and talk shit with each other.

      Most of my posts are me being annoyed with me neighbours mowing their lawn twice a week or watering the same lawn when it’s raining.

      Feel free to join us. You don’t have to live here to talk shit 😊

      It’s often 300+ on a Friday.
      We’re coming at you from the future just now because daylight savings time ended overnight.

      It’s an active community because it’s an active community. Any community with 50+ daily commenters could be as active.

      We’re just that cool!

      Really tho? I’d guess because of the dynamics of Australia, whereas else where people are more spread out we all live largely in 2-5 cities.

      Melbourne is over 5 million people and the largest city in Australia. We can all gather and talk about the same place and things.

      We also speak English so others internationally can engage more easily with our community.

      Oh and both work, but we generally use Melbournians.
