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)

Most British cake I've ever seen

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!

Thank you to all those who make it worth being here!

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.

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 8 points 1 year ago

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?

And happy cake day to you!

Thanks!

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

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago

Happy birthday guys!

Happy birthday! 🪅🎉🔥

Oh dear, has it been down long?

[–] nikaaa@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (15 children)

Around a month now.

The admin is on workation in asia, and we haven't heard of him in a month.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, so he may be back but single Admin instances are a bad idea - I wouldn't have done it without being part of a team, if nothing else, just so no one person is doing too much work. One of our key principles in taking over was to ensure it was set up to continue just fine if one of us got kidnapped by aliens (again).

[–] nikaaa@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (9 children)

Good luck with your ongoing struggle with the aliens.

Maybe you can find a piece truce with them?

It's only the frontend that's down, the backend is still running so users can still access it through third-party apps. It's why e.g. !europe@feddit.de gets new posts.

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

OK, that's weird.

[–] scrchngwsl@feddit.uk 5 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Happy birthday! Do we get a tom comeback?
