Looks like there’s 341 subscribers in this group! Heck yeah!

.. still feel like there are missing peeps though

[–] omoikiri@aussie.zone 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

We’re missing just_kitten. Does she have DMs turned on on reddit, does anyone know? I’ll try to reach out to her

I haven’t seen them in here. Unless they too chose a different name

[–] baconmash@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

thanks, just messaged

[–] Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

there's also another person whose Reddit handle I don't remember. Only thing I recall is she's around 50 and has a partner and not too long ago went up to QLD on a holiday and came back and I think has one child and looking to get back into the workforce. My memory has been on the fritz recently

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Nah, but I've just messaged her.

[–] baconmash@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

and is kidwithgreyhair here?

edit: just messaged both

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

I just messaged upyourmerricreek but I don't know if I did it right because I'm old.

[–] Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

you're a champ!

[–] omoikiri@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mmm. Not ringing a bell. But I’ve not been active in the DT for the last month and a half because of work so I’m a little out of the loop

[–] Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

all good, no stress

[–] OIP@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

bums me out that many might have missed the (tiny?) window when this link was kicking around before r/melb got locked up and not even know this place exists. i feel like the reddit thing might fizzle out and we all end up back there, but who knows

[–] Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I mean I’m ok with this place being temporary and we all head back when it re-opens or stay idk 🤷‍♀️

But yeah seriously odd that they mentioned midnight and 4pm you couldn’t post anymore. Lucky I saw someone’s comment with the link and had 30 mins to an hour until they closed shop (11-11:30pm)

I rather people know this here exist so they don’t feel out of sorts. I would miss everyone too much if I was away for too long. I struggled with 2 days

[–] baconmash@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i wanted to post SKY PRETTY but couldn't

[–] Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Omg that’s what I wrote as well and went to click post but nothing happened. Tried it 3 different time with several minutes given between pressing post and nada lol we both thought to post the same thing

[–] MisssDarylC@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same for me! I didn't check the thread until 11pm. Or I'd have missed the whole thing.

[–] Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like we were lucky

[–] omoikiri@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is listed on the r/melbournereborn pinned post, so the link is still out there but yeah, you have to go hunting for it

[–] baconmash@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the r/melbourne message only links to the discord though so people might not be able to find the reborn sub

[–] Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there anyone who used the Melbourne discord and has linked this place as a just in case?

[–] baconmash@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i could try posting the link there but there are SO many messages i day i doubt anyone would see it. I don't recognize the user names there either

[–] heyheyitskay@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe you can pin a post but it's not the easiest to find even if it's pinned which sort of defies the purpose. Is Juggernaut one of us?

[–] baconmash@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have no idea. It might be awkward for me to pin a post there too since I don’t participate.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just hope melbabouttown is OK. I felt that she may have really needed the dt to keep in touch with humans.

[–] baconmash@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh yeah. I think others have messaged her? Anyway I just did.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I tried but there was no chat function. I don't know. I just hope she finds us.

[–] baconmash@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Chat function is unreliable. New chat doesn't show up on the reddit app. I expanded the her profile to reach the message button.

[–] baconmash@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like we're on the titanic lifeboat paddling around for survivors

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I'm just trying to remember their names. Lol

[–] heyheyitskay@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago
[–] Force_majeure122@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a really impressive uptake honestly. So happy so many regulars came over

[–] Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

me too, I'm so glad, especially since most are people I converse with on pretty much the daily

[–] MisssDarylC@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Nah not yet. Hopefully soon
