    I am very confused by this new platform but I managed to bumble my way here from reddit. Hi DT! I missed you.

    i was primarily a lurker and very rare contributor on the old DT but this place seems nice. hello! i thought i loved watching internet drama unfold but turns out not so much when it impacts the communities i frequent.

    I’m very much enjoying the DTs. I was just a lurker over at the old place and it feels lovely to be actively part of this community. Thanks guys! 😊😊😊😊

      I think there might be a few of us who were mostly lurkers on the other sub. I’m enjoying this new place, so additional thank you from me too! 🙂

      Nice! I asked for more time off yesterday as well to give me some more breathing space. Savings might take a bit of a hit, but I’m not going to be a good employee for another month or two at least.

    While I did say earlier it was good to see the DT once again on r/melbourne, I figured it might be best to make an account here on the Aussie Zone so I can read up on happenings over here as well. Hello, once again, !melbourne.

    I’m not sure why anyone would want to use the Reddit DT after seeing the content from who is left over there vs here. I kinda don’t want most of them to come over, the vibe here is too good lol

        Mostly been a lurker on r/melb; my god it’s now a dog’s breakfast over there there. So glad I moved first thing when aussie.zone popped up.

        Which reminds me, I should really donate some coffee money towards the server costs.

      I had a quick flick through, and it feels like even the 3 or 4 regulars who haven’t come over have gotten really aggro too

    Years ago, I would have been raging against the injustice of this bs. I guess I’m no longer in my youth, cause right now I’m more than happy sitting this one out and just watching from the side lines. Growing up feels strange.

    I’m not supposed to drink coffee normally this month because it could stain my temporary veneers, so I’ve been drinking iced coffee with straws. Until right now. As I sit outside this Bourke Street cafe, headphones adorned, audiobook playing while I people watch; I have before me a large, perfectly hot Melbourne coffee. A beverage I have not put to my lips since the beginning of winter.

    I’ll only have these teeth for 7 more days. Stain be damned.

    I just discovered Aussie.Zone has a pictures community. I’m going to share some of my favourite Aussie holiday snaps there. It would be nice to get a bunch of photos in there from all over Australia, expecially if they have a bit more local flavour rather than just the aussie landmarks. So I’ve started with some bats from the colony on the Yarra.

        I’m on Lemmy.one and noticed this as well, if I understand this correctly,

        sometimes if your instance doesn’t recognise the community in search it’s because no one has searched that from your instance before.

        It could take a few goes of reloading the page and search again for it to work.

        I recently searched for Sydney community from my instance and nothing came up until like the 8th try.

    So apparently a sub has disappeared en route to the Titanic site.

    I hate to say it, but…everyone on it is likely dead

      I just hope their deaths were quick and they aren’t still alive and panicking

      ABC news was saying that there was theoretically still about 70-90 hours of oxygen left in the sub.

        They lost contact fairly suddenly half way down. There’s only oxygen left if the structure is still intact, which…may not be the case

          True. If so, then it would be quick due to extreme water pressure and very very ugly. Don’t envy the people attempting to retrieve the sub though. Underwater accidents at depth are very very ugly.

      Just heard this on the news! I want to hope they’re okay, but wow. I can’t imagine what that would be like for anyone involved.

      I feel worst for their families - I can only imagine what they’re going through now. I really hope it was quick for all involved

      I read somewhere that it has enough oxygen for 4 days, but I don’t know how they will find it or bring it to the surface if they do.

    I may or may not have bought myself a sausage roll on the way home purely so I’d have something warm in my hands
