Announcment The Next Chapter for Munich Social Club 👋👋👋

44 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋

As some of you may have noticed, MunichSocialClub now has a new moderation team.

Our goal is simple: to keep this community a welcoming place where people in and around Munich can meet, make friends, and organize activities together. We want everyone to feel comfortable, respected, and encouraged to join the conversation.

One small change you'll notice is that we've expanded the subreddit rules. Until now, the only rule was "No low effort posts." We've added a few more guidelines to make moderation more transparent and to help keep the community enjoyable for everyone. You can find them in the subreddit sidebar.

Some topics are still open for discussion, for example, whether advertisements should be allowed, and if so, under what conditions. We'd love to hear your thoughts on that and any other ideas you have for the community. 😊😊

Feel free to leave a comment below or send us a Modmail. We're looking forward to helping this community grow and seeing many new friendships and great events come out of it. 😊

Cheers!

Munich map of restaurants removing their reviews

153 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

UPDATE:

Browser-Extension:
Chrome - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kljgcgijgpadigheeipmebfolfophfdg?utm_source=item-share-cb
Mozila - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/worst-case-rating/

Google is allowing businesses in Germany to remove reviews by citing defamation laws. This annoys me, just like many other people. Recently, it started to show how many reviews were deleted. I saw people from smaller cities (because there are fewer venues there and it’s easier to collect statistics) doing similar analyses with Excel spreadsheets. So I decided to build an interactive map for big cities and added Munich as well.

The main challenge is collecting information from Google Maps. Google does not allow mass data collection through automated scripts, but there’s nothing stopping someone from doing it manually, so of course...

I did not collect the reviews themselves, only statistical data, specifically the current rating, the number of reviews, and the number of deleted reviews. Google recently started showing approximately how many reviews were removed. For example, Restaurant Pars removed from 201 to 250 reviews.

Based on this data, I decided to calculate the "real" rating of a venue, as if the reviews had never been removed.

How I calculated it:

I used the following formula:

real_score = (current_number_reviews × current_rating + deleted_reviews_estimate × avg_deleted_rating) / (current_number_reviews + deleted_reviews_estimate)

Where:

deleted_reviews_estimate = (deleted_reviews_max + deleted_reviews_min) / 2

deleted_reviews_max = the maximum number of deleted reviews (for Restaurant Pars = 201)

deleted_reviews_min = the minimum number of deleted reviews (for Restaurant Pars = 250)

avg_deleted_rating = 1

This is the approximate average rating of deleted reviews. In other words, I assume that every deleted review was, on average, a 1-star review. That’s probably not entirely accurate, but I think it makes sense to calculate the worst-case scenario.

Example:

Let’s take  Restaurant Pars:

current_rating = 4.8
current_number_reviews = 994
deleted_reviews_estimate = (250 + 201) / 2 = 225.5
----
real_score = (994 × 4.8 + 225.5 x 1) / (994 + 225.5) = 4.1

I also created a statistics page to show which places remove the most reviews and which remove the fewest:

I’ll continue updating the map, although it takes a lot of time.

You can verify everything yourself on Google Maps. If you find any discrepancies, feel free to leave a comment :)

You can check this map by this link - https://real-map-review.com/ NO LOCATION DETECTION, NO ADS, NO DATA COLLECTION.

Looking for a study buddy/group

2 Upvotes

Hi I'm from South America (28M). I speak Spanish, English and German. I’m currently studying for an exam ( I have like 6 months left to prepare for it) and I’m planning to spend weekends studying at the library. I’m looking for people who are also studying for an exam, working on something, or simply want to be productive and spend a few hours there.

If you’re also looking for some motivation and company while studying, feel free to message me.

The idea is to study for a few hours and then, once we’re done, grab something to eat or have a coffee/drink and hang out!

Proposal & Discussion Experiences with German naturalization in Dachau – current processing times?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

has anyone here recently applied for German citizenship through the Landratsamt Dachau and could share their experience?

I’m especially interested in:

  • When did you submit your application?
  • How long did it take until you received the first response?
  • Were you asked to submit additional documents?
  • How long did the whole process take until you received the EinbĂŒrgerungsurkunde / naturalization certificate

The Landratsamt Dachau currently states a processing time of around 12 months, but I have also heard of significantly faster cases. So experiences from 2025 or 2026 would be especially helpful.

Thanks!

Proposal & Discussion Non German speaker, looking for suggestions (and anyone that wants to hang out)

1 Upvotes

I'm visiting the city and I'll be here the entire week. Sadly, I don't speak the language and I haven't had the time to do my homework properly when it comes to places to visit.

So far I have only been to the English Gardens. I'm open to suggestions on places worth checking out. Would be cool if anyone wants to hang out.

I'm a guy, 27, into tech as a profession and hobby. Open Source enthusiasts are welcome. I'm more into power metal, but any metal bars or places will do. I am also looking to explore flea markets, if any, and would like to pick up a book or two.

Meetup Anyone want to check out the Art Café Pop-Up this weekend?

4 Upvotes

Hey! I just found this Art CafĂ© Pop-Up in Glockenbach (Baaderstraße 35) that’s only happening from Sep 2–6. Here’s the place: https://artcafe-munich.de/

Basically, you book a table for two hours and can choose something creative to do like clay, lino printing, collage, watercolor... I thought it looked pretty fun, but I’d rather go with someone than alone :)

Would anyone here be up for going together?

Habt ihr Tipps fĂŒr Minijobs am Wochenende?

7 Upvotes

Hallo zusammen,

​ich habe eine kurze Frage – falls das hier nicht der richtige Ort dafĂŒr ist, entschuldige ich mich schon mal vorab!

​Wo sucht ihr normalerweise nach Minijobs?

Ich befinde mich aktuell in einer finanziell schwierigen Situation und mĂŒsste mir am Wochenende etwas dazuerwerben. Ich habe zwar bereits einen Vollzeitjob, aber das Geld reicht im Moment einfach nicht aus.

​Apps wie Indeed oder StepStone scheinen bei der Suche nach Minijobs nicht wirklich zu helfen.

​Habt ihr vielleicht ein paar Tipps oder Empfehlungen fĂŒr mich?

Vielen Dank im Voraus!

Hi, been busy with uni and most old friends meanwhile moved out of the city that I'd love to have more (preferably female) friends around here. Interested in music production, going to galleries, occasional coffees or hikes and runs (out practice there due to recent ankle injury), wouldn't mind renting a studio and starting a band. Also used to try doing parkours back in the days, or picking up marathons eventually. Creating content I'd consider an option as well. DE/EN.

28F near Rosenheim looking for girls in Munich

5 Upvotes

Just moved to the Rosenheim area and honestly miss having my people around 😭 I had a pretty social life back home and I miss getting dressed up, going for drinks, going out, having deep conversations and just making random plans.
I’m a model and I’m getting more into content creation too, so it would be really cool to find someone who’s into fashion/photography/content and wants to create stuff together — taking pics for each other, finding cool places, putting outfits together etc. Basically fashion besties 😂
I speak English (my German is still tragic lol) and I’m happy to come to Munich.
Looking for genuine friendships and people I actually click with, not just someone to grab one coffee with and never see again đŸ„Č
If this sounds like you, message me đŸ–€
