Different people. From what I can tell there were only a few mods on r/Melbourne that are still actively moderating, and they were spending their time on a Discord group.
Lodion (who I believe is in Perth) set up this Lemmy instance with all the Australian groups set up, I wandered in and saw a familiar looking group & a daily thread, and put my hand up to moderate. If you look at the older posts there is some discussion there about what people want from the group that I used to write the community guidelines - that and this daily thread is probably the best way to see what the vibe here is. 🙂
just a general question, is this place managed by the same mods on r/Melbourne or a different group of individuals?
I wasn’t personally enjoying the overall experience over there, just wondering what the vibe is here comparatively.
cheers
I believe the mods here are not the same.
The vibe here is a respectful and friendly one. It was on the original DT too.

thank you and thanks all, good to know! was a bit gloomy over there :D
Please join us for some friendly banter anytime.
Nah it’s completely seperate from r/melbourne, mods aren’t involved. Much more positive vibe over here!
