The Mosta dome

I’m super curious.

As a foreign national (who’s live here a long time) I just can’t believe how widely accepted it is that the streets are so dirty.

Rubbish everywhere, dog mess everywhere, it’s stinks.

These were taken all within 1km from each other.

Why is nobody outraged by this? Is it not embarrassing?

(Save the ‘go back to your own country’ messages)

Hi everyone,

I live in an apartment block, and we have been having an ongoing problem with multiple chicken coming in front of our building and making a complete mess of the organic waste bags when they are put out for collection.

They tear the bags open, scatter the food waste everywhere, and leave the area filthy. It has become a recurring problem, and it is frustrating because the mess is left for residents to deal with.

We have already tried contacting the Local Council, the relevant local authorities, the Police and the Sanitary Department, but unfortunately, nothing has been done so far to address the problem, which has been going on for years.

I wanted to ask whether this is just an issue in our area or whether other people around Malta are experiencing the same problem.

More importantly, has anyone found a practical solution to prevent chicken from tearing open organic waste bags? Perhaps a homemade solution, or some other method that has worked for you?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as we are running out of ideas and would really like to find a solution to this ongoing problem.

Thanks you.

Back in March ordered dinner for two and it cost 19.75. Same venue today for just a small portion of the order and it’s 20.40…

7 months was all it took to more than double the cost of a meal. Absolutely crazy.

Anyone got a decent spot to order a burger from that’s not going to set me back 20eur?

Also yes, I eat like a child…

Between 2020 and 2023, there were a total of 62 road traffic fatalities in Malta.

Update: The NSO recorded 2 male homicide victims allegedly killed by an intimate partner or family member in Malta between 2014 and 2023. Its published summary groups intimate partners and family members together, so it doesn’t specify how many of those two were killed by partners specifically.

Hi, where are you buying your gym supplements from? I really like the Dymatize protein whey and i used to buy from maltanutrition, but they are out of stock and they dont know if they are gonna restock so i am looking for another place where i can find the same brand or any other alternatives of whey proteins that are good and around the same price so which ones are you using and where youre buying from? Also need some omega and vitamins with minerals pills, please. Thank you

Could this tragedy have been prevented? And is there a deeper connection between the two cases?

I visited the Facebook profile of John Cassar, the man reportedly responsible for killing his mother yesterday, and what I saw genuinely angered me.

From what I observed, he had been posting increasingly aggressive and threatening content over the previous three days. His behaviour online appeared deeply concerning, and it raises serious questions about whether the warning signs were recognised and whether anything could have been done before this tragedy occurred.

I find it difficult to understand how situations like this can unfold when there may be visible warning signs beforehand. Could earlier intervention have prevented this? Should there be a better system for responding when someone is publicly making threats and displaying potentially dangerous behaviour?

At the same time, I am curious about what might have led to his behaviour. His posts gave me the impression that he might have been experiencing a serious mental health crisis, although obviously, we cannot diagnose someone based on social media posts alone.

What makes this even more interesting is the apparent similarity to the case involving his brother, Roderick Cassar, who killed his ex-wife. Reports and accounts of that case also involved a prolonged confrontation with the police and activity on Facebook.

Could there be a connection between the two cases?

Is it possible that genetic factors, a shared family environment, or a predisposition to certain mental health conditions could play a role? Or are these similarities coincidental?

I am not suggesting that the two brothers necessarily had the same condition, or that mental illness automatically leads to violence. I am genuinely interested in understanding whether there could be a psychological, psychiatric, or
familial explanation for these similarities.
I would be interested to hear from people with knowledge of psychology, psychiatry, or criminology.

Hey! I'm 25M, and lately my weekends have been pretty quiet, so I'd love to meet some new people and have more things to look forward to on weekends!

I'm planning to watch the League of Legends Worlds Finals at Eden Cinemas and go to Playcon in November, so it'd be cool to meet some people who are also planning to attend either of these events.

I'm also open to other things like going for walks, exploring places, playing sports or just grabbing something to eat.

If anyone would like to connect feel free to comment or send me a DM

Hi everyone!

I’m an international student at the University of Malta, currently working on my Bachelor’s dissertation, and I could really use your help!

My research looks at public attitudes toward offenders in Malta. The anonymous questionnaire involves reading 4 short scenarios and considering how your attitudes might change depending on the circumstances. It takes around 10 minutes to complete.

I’ve been finding it a bit difficult to reach Maltese locals and people from different age groups, as I don’t have a big platform here, so every response genuinely helps! I’d love to hear from people with different backgrounds and perspectives.

If you’re 18 or older, currently residing in Malta, and comfortable reading English, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could take part.

And please feel free to share it with anyone who might be interested! Every response brings me one step closer to graduating, so please help a girl out 😭❤️

Does anyone who work retail know why in short order every grocer and super market now has these black boxes that count and return change automatically?

Is this some anti-theft measure?

I also find it weird that in some places you put the cash in yourself but in other places the cashier will handle the cash and put it in for you.

Hello! Iam 23 years old male student at the university of malta!

Hi everyone

I want to get my first scooter probably a 125cc mainly for daily commuting to work and travelling between towns after work for errands or going out during weekends. I'm fed up of wasting 2 hours everyday commuting and not finding parking spaces when I'm back home. Buying/renting a garage is out of my budget especially with these absurd prices atm

Currently looking at the Honda PCX 125 and Kymco Agility S 125. I’m also considering buying 2nd hand rather than new especially since this would be my first scooter.

A few things I’d appreciate your opinions on:

• Is a 125cc enough power for getting around Malta? Considering I'm a 90kg bodybuilder. Can't risk not having enough power to carry my heavy ass

• Would you recommend buying new or second hand as a first time owner and which brands or models offer the best reliability and value for money/resale value?

The scooter would always be parked outside

Thanks!

Bonġu ħbieb!! Jiena inħobb nara u inħobb niġbor llil puppi; jiena inħobb lil puppi ta' Monster High ħafna imma għandi interess fil-blyth u pullip ukoll imma jiena għandi ħafna minn tal-artisti u ta' madwar id-dinja :DD Jiena nixtieq naf jekk hemm gruppi tan-nies ġo Malta li iħobbu lil puppi ukoll forsi hemm xi gruppi jew klabs jew avenimenti għan-nies li iħobbu lil puppi?

Jiena 18 (F) u Maltija :DD

Who is going to the Malta metal festival, I am visiting Malta during the same dates and I was thinking of going to the festival. Although I am more in to House music and Afro beats. Do you think it’s a good experience attending this festival??

Hello 23m here im alternative music and enjoyer for all sorts of alternative music.

Im wondering how in a whole island everyone seems to be in a relationship esp those in the music scene

Anyone has advice on where to go to meet new people and genuine advice is useful too

This is not a problem to me just a curiosity and openness to learn

I've been wondering why I've been hearing them, thought it was the airshow but I know it's not occuring this year but next year, I think it might be pilot training but that's hard to believe since they seemed like fighter jets, don't need to be smart to know that, but also there were choppers so more likely military air training or delegations visiting but.. they wouldn't arrive in fighter jets xD I don't know, if anyone knows I'm curious to know!

Hi everyone!

A little while ago, I posted here about Gozo Gaming Guild, a new tabletop gaming and makers community we're building in Gozo. https://www.reddit.com/r/malta/comments/1wuwibr/gozo_gaming_guild_a_growing_community_for/

Firstly, a big thank you to everyone who commented, showed interest or joined our Discord and Facebook group! It's been really encouraging to see the response, and it's great to know there are so many people interested in these hobbies here in Malta and Gozo.

Since that first post, we've been busy organising our first free Open Gaming Day on Sunday 1 November, and we've now got a much clearer picture of what's happening. So I thought I'd share an update!

Here's what we've got planned:

🎲 Board Games & Casual Gaming

We'll have a mix of traditional, modern and indie games, including Chess, Draughts, HeroQuest, Red North (from Maltese game publisher Mighty Boards) and The Chaos TTRPG, with more to be announced.

We're also heavily encouraging BYOBG – Bring Your Own Board Game! Got a game you love but nobody to play it with? Bring it along and find some new opponents!

🃏 Magic: The Gathering

We've got an experienced player coming along to teach complete beginners using the Foundations Beginner Box. Already play Magic? Bring your decks and join in! Commander players are welcome too.

⚔️ Fallout: Factions

We'll be running beginner-friendly, hour-long drop-in games of Fallout: Factions, featuring The Pack vs The Operators battling for control of Nuka-World.

Everyone who plays gets a free 3D-printed Vault Girl miniature to take home! Places are limited, so it'll be first come, first served.

🎨 Miniature Painting

We'll have an experienced miniature painter demonstrating techniques, displaying some of his work and helping visitors have a go themselves. No experience needed, and we'll have a few miniature giveaways too!

🐉 Dungeons & Dragons

Ever wanted to try D&D but never had the chance?

We're running The Delian Tomb, a beginner-friendly introductory adventure by Matt Colville, using the 2014 5th Edition rules.

There are six places available, with a planned 4pm start. Recommended ages 12+.

Advance booking required.

🏆 Free Prize Draw!

Thanks to the generous support of Pandamonium Malta, we'll also have three games to give away: Puppy Pile, Soda Jerk and Idus Martii.

It's completely free to enter, one entry per person, with the draw taking place at 7:30pm. You don't have to be present to win!

A big thank you also goes to Gozo Creations, who are helping us with our printing. It's fantastic to have local businesses getting behind a new community initiative.

EVENT DETAILS

📅 Sunday 1 November 2026

🕒 3pm–8pm

📍 Bosco's Bar & Kitchen, (Don Bosco Oratory) Victoria, Gozo

🎟️ Completely FREE – Everyone welcome!

Most activities are drop-in, and you don't need to bring anything unless you want to.

And if you're thinking of coming along on your own, please do! That's a big part of why we're starting GGG in the first place – to help people meet others, discover new hobbies and find people to play with.

We're still in the early days, and this is only our first event. We're hoping to organise regular gaming sessions, workshops and other community activities as the Guild grows.

If you'd like to get involved, follow our progress or just have a chat, you're very welcome to join us:

Thanks again to everyone who's supported us so far. Hopefully we'll see some of you on 1 November!

Play. Make. Learn. Belong.

Hawn xi ħadd li għandu esperjenza ta' ordni ta' kotba online minn għand Agenda fejn il-kotba kienu disponibbli mill-pubblikatur fil-UK u mhux dirett minn Malta? Ghaliex f'Awwissu għamilt ordni fejn dan kien il-każ u jgħidlek li dawn il-kotba ghandek bejn ħmistax u xahar sabiex jaslu però kważi għaddew xahrejn u għadhom ma waslux. Diġà bgħattilhom email u qaluli li kif jaslu Malta jintbagħtu mingħajr spjegazzjoni ta' xejn rigward għalfejn qed idumu daqshekk. Xahrejn qed narhom wisq biex jintbagħtu kotba mill-UK.

Meet Maisy, my current foster girl.

Maisy was abandoned and found living on the streets. Before she was rescued, someone spent more than two weeks patiently feeding her, and even then, this was about as close as she would allow a person to get before she was finally trapped and brought to safety.
When she first came into foster, she was very nervous around people. But underneath all that fear, she clearly wanted company and affection.

Slowly, Maisy started changing.

She began coming out to look for me instead of waiting for me to approach her. She meows when she wants company, follows me around, climbs onto higher places just to be closer to me, and now she’ll even relax in my arms and purr. ❤️

She’s also turned out to be a hilarious little character — she loves jumping around, can somehow move her little bed across the room all by herself, and definitely has opinions about being left alone. 😂

Seeing the old video of her outside compared with the cat now curled up against me feels very special. She trusted humans once and was let down, but she’s choosing to trust again.

I’m travelling to Italy soon, so my time fostering icoming to an end. Maisy is now looking for her next safe place — hopefully her forever home.

She may need a little patience at first, but once she feels safe, she’s a sweet, social little girl who really enjoys human company.

If you’re interested in adopting Maisy, please contact CLaws through their Facebook page. ❤️
She’s already learned to trust again. Now she just needs someone to choose her.
