At this point Aussie Frugal Living consists entirely of me. Did I establish dominance and win Best Tightarse, so everyone is now too intimidated to post? Because I am pretty good at it. /j 😉

Also if you've got frugal food tips/recipes do they go in there or do they go in Food Australia? (ie telling you how to make toasted sandwiches without a jafflemaker, only a frying pan you've already got, or how to turn leftovers into fillings)

Probably aussie frugal but I don't think it matters.

maybe many people who have to live frugally, who are struggling, don't have the time or energy to post on social media much

Fair enough, time is money. But disabled and unemployed exist

Couldn't see your topic til I checked your history. I see now what's happened and why I was mostly the only one there... It looks like there are two separate Aussie Frugal instances?

I've been posting here https://aussie.zone/c/frugal

And your post is in there https://aussie.zone/c/aussiefrugal@lemmy.world

I'd say that I'd simply been posting in the wrong place, it's plausible, but that one also called Aussie Frugal and has an Oz Bargain link in the side 🤨 No wonder there's less activity in each if the members are split.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !frugal@aussie.zone, !aussiefrugal@lemmy.world
