Today marks the one year anniversary of our humble little instance. It's been an eventful year but, despite fate's best efforts, we're still here. So go us! (or boo us if you think we suck)

Thank you to everyone who keeps the thing running, both in terms of technically running the instance, and those who find or create content to post :)

... and happy birthday!

Thanks for having me. Is there a way to chuck in a few quid to help pay the bills?

[–] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There is a link to our OpenCollective in the sidebar if you're feeling generous.

Thanks for reminding me, we were meaning to do a summary of our financials for the community soon!

Very cool to see how much the instance has grown and matured in just one year. Thanks for all the efforts that go into keeping things running

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

Yes, it is impressive how far we've come and it's early days.

Happy "1 more rotation around the sun" day ☀️🎉🎂

I really appreciate all the hidden hardwork that goes on behind the scenes so that strangers can come together and celebrate / complain about their interests. Thanks 👍🏻🍻

Happy Birthday Feddit.UK. No present, sorry, as I give you a little every month. :-) Is it a year from when Tom started the server?

No present, sorry, as I give you a little every month. :-)

That's a present every month!

Is it a year from when Tom started the server?

I wasn't able to pin that down to a date, this is the day the domain was registered.

OK, but basically, from the start. Not the takeover.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Takeover sounds so hostile. I feel like it was more of a rescue/resuscitation.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Definitely felt like a rescue mission at the time.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Shoutout to @GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk's partner who watched Bridget Jones Diary alone over Christmas. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Some heroes don't wear capes.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Definitely, the takeover was only a few months back.

Hip hip hooray! hip hip hooray! For they're a jolly good fellow.... and so say all of us. etc🎂

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Happy birthday!

[–] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And happy cake day to you!

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks!

You've given me a home for my community on the dormant british-american-australian podcast, !hellointernet@feddit.uk.

can't believe it's been a year! feels like much longer, it's already quite a mature community with a good set of rules enforced fairly. thanks to the mods and admins for all the hard work <3

And Happy Cake Day to us both - I thought I was rather late to the game but it seems like we joined here soon after it was up and running.
