Hello everyone,

FYI I posted a meme about this community on !fedimemes@feddit.uk : https://aussie.zone/post/15001506

I'm always impressed with how active your daily threads are, what is your secret? πŸ˜„

A pre-existing community, mostly. Three quarters of the people in this thread all joined at the same time (the same day, many of us) and for the same reason.

We came here already accustomed to talking shit all day

Well done! I tried replicating that on a few subreddits, but the most removed the post each time

This is truly the best of the internet in my experience. I'm blessed to be a melbournian because of the amazing people here. We came here and left the trolls behind at the other place so it's been naturally curated to just the people who want to have a community.

I've made real true friends through here, and learn so much from the knowledge people share here. It's what the internet should be imo

Because we love each other and respect each other's opinions.

It's a secret we have sworn never to tell. You posting from the UK?

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago

I'm in Europe, but we chose feddit.uk so to host that community so that you guys wouldn't be experiencing the usual issue you are facing with lemmy.world: https://aussie.zone/post/14298464

We respect each other.

Part effort, part luck, I reckon. πŸ˜…

Yeah we already knew each other. Plus Aussies are talented shitposters.

Edit: I’m trying to get discussion threads going elsewhere, in the past I’ve found consistency of posting them helps so people are used to there being a thread.

Unfortunately the instances are a bit slow even for weekly so I do a monthly thread and try to show activity so more people feel it’s current enough to jump in.
