We aren’t really a big instance. We don’t even make the top-20. Where we really hit above our weight though is our comment count.
We are medium in size, but we are super engaged.
I’m pretty sure that Australia, Aussie Environment and Melbourne are some of the most active location based communities on Lemmy
The Melbourne community in particular. Crazy levels of interaction in those daily discussion threads.
Yeah Melbourne has been going crazy since the start, really amazing how much of a community they’ve established here
Plus we have to be vocal about the dangerous levels of DHMO in our water supply, excessive consumption can be fatal
I was watching Active Users and Environment passed Melbourne a week or so ago. They are comment heavy with a set amount of users posting as their Active Count has barely moved off of 200.
If Environment stopped posting, it would fall behind Melbourne and Brisbane quite quickly. It’s the excessive regularity that pushed it up there.
excessive regularity
15 of the next 17 posts in my Local feed are your posts to Environment 🤣
I applaud your commitment to the Community, and the Instance!
I like your posts, and appreciate the commitment to keeping things updated.
My folks are very environmentally conscious, to the point where most of my inheritance has been given / will be given to various environmental charities. I’m not mad - it’s their money, they earned it, and trying to save the world is probably a better way of spending it than I would have done.
It does mean I can feel a bit comfortable about my slacktivism though.
I don’t know how I feel about that. As long as you’re happy.
The world is so different, not helping one’s kids through late-stage capitalism seems like a journey for the child that doesn’t need to be taken.
