Including the early thread with 30 comments, we are still at over double the activity compared to the old r/Melbourne subreddit.
I hope those who don't go to the old sub frequently can find there way here.
Reports from a couple of mates who use it say they find this one buddy and slow to load. I assume they're on a phone. Any ideas or can I inform them of improvements.
Still, this place kicks it's butt for content also. The old daily thread seems to be a lot of the same questions people posted as posts before the great reddit blunder of 2023 which would pretty much be instantly downvoted to the bottom. Loud bangs, tailgating drivers, choppers over reservoir etc. I might be exagurating a little, but it's lost its soul nonetheless.
I mean, its not as slick as the Reddit app but just a chrome tab on my phone works just fine for me
Ah, yeah I'm using some third party browser. It won't log me in using that, but read only isn't terrible. Maybe I'll use chrome just for this.
Look into wefwef through your browser. I made another comment with a bit more detail.
