It's a dry alternative?
There are dozens of us!
Almost a baker's dozen.
Not quite the announced exodus. Time will tell, but so far, twitter, reddit and the slowness of mastodon have been really helpful in making me reduce my usage of social media.
Perth is tiny enough, splintering off /r/perth probably isn't gonna help the cause much.
Given 2 Million people live here, /r/Perth was always tiny.

I'm really disappointed by the inactiveness. I know small communities that are very active outside of Lemmy so the number of users is a bad excuse. I will there was as much promotion for lemmy as Mastodon had
I think Perth just sucks for community in general, especially more tech focused things like a federated Reddit clone
The average r/Perth user doesn't strike me as cutting edge tech enthusiast. It'll take a while for those types to warm up to lemmy. The real push might start happening after the API lock down.
