I feel like there's been a sudden influx on new active aussie.zone users. Coincidence, or did something happen? (aussie.zone)

I know other instances have grown a lot due to media attention, reddit making silly decisions or banning communities. Did anything similar happen or is this just a thing that thinged?

Edit: having a closer look, some of the names I thought were new are people who've had accounts for years but have mostly been posting to other instances so I didn't see them. So maybe I'm only seeing them on higher-scoring local posts

A country is welcome to make r/Australiaoffical or something, if they care. I'm not sure why they would. Reddit has like 500 million users per week but id guess that half of that number are actual real individuals.

It's not the critical resource we all see it as.

How big would this server have to get before you would want the Australian government involved?

I suppose an Aus gov Twitter would have to be called Galah!

Pink and Grey being the obvious colour scheme.
