Cool! :)
Whenever people like, i initially thought every Monday/Sunday night. But maybe a Thursday/Wednesday night makes more sense, you know past hump day, ready for the weekend.
Seems on the Melbourne community someone takes on Posting the chat for a bit, until another takes over. I don't know how they do it, but it seems to work.
I thought the Melbourne way of actual people doing it, rather than a 'sandgroper bot' would be better. Bots on Lemmy don't often seem to garner great interaction levels. Plus i've no idea how to implement a bot or whether it would be feasible. @Nath@aussie.zone is likely far more knowledgeable on the pros and cons of bots though.
Melbourne chat is posted by whoever is awake around midnight. A bot would be nice. One user deleted their account and all their posts went with it. We've discussed it and generally try to keep the whole thing low-key. It's mostly idle chat and musings. There's been few blow-outs from people expecting more from the community than is on offer. It's a nice corner of the internet, I reckon it'd be worth developing your own one for local banter.
Ah cheers for the context. Thats great how its just whoevers up, but it works!
And yeah, it really seems to be a different aspect to the Community than the regular posts. And as you say, it adds nice vibes.
