Happy birthday, feddit.uk!
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)

'appy birfday
Most British cake I've ever seen
Boo-urns!
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!
For anyone curious, here’s how you can contribute :)

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

I couldn't find it in jerbal or whatever this app's called so I just googled it
Congratulations feddit.uk!
Thank you to all those who make it worth being here!
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 👍🏻🍻
🎈🥳🎉🥳🎈
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
Yes, it is impressive how far we've come and it's early days.
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?
That's a present every month!
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.
Takeover sounds so hostile. I feel like it was more of a rescue/resuscitation.
Definitely felt like a rescue mission at the time.
Shoutout to @[email protected]'s partner who watched Bridget Jones Diary alone over Christmas. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten.
Some heroes don't wear capes.
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🎂
🙌✨️🥳
yay! 🥳
Congrats & happy birthday guys!
Happy birthday!
And happy cake day to you!
Thanks!
You've given me a home for my community on the dormant british-american-australian podcast, ![email protected].
Happy birthday! 🪅🎉🔥
Happy birthday guys!
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
Meanwhile feddit.de :(
Oh dear, has it been down long?
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. ![email protected] gets new posts.
OK, that's weird.
Around a month now.
The admin is on workation in asia, and we haven't heard of him in a month.
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).
Good luck with your ongoing struggle with the aliens.
Maybe you can find a piece truce with them?
I never said it was me...
I smell an interesting story.
Do you mind sharing more details?
But I never said it was me.
Although I have had a sleep paralysis attack that could have been interpreted as an alien abduction (or Satanic ritual abuse).
Ah interesting, I hadn't heard that. Was there an official announcement?
I'm not sure, but it has been established in matrix chat rooms.
Are there public links to their matrix chat anywhere? Instances typically have them in the sidebar of their web interface, but in this case...
Yes, there are two rooms:
https://matrix.to/#/#feddit:tilde.fun is the matrix room for the feddit.de website.
https://matrix.to/#/!MLoBFkQORxrOwhtQoZ:tchncs.de is a room where we discuss about establishing a new, community-hosted lemmy server.
Oh, so you are thinking of moving on from feddit.de? We were in that same boat ourselves.
Thanks!
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.
Happy birthday! Do we get a tom comeback?
We need to say his name three times.

Ooooo, it worked.
Thanks for getting the instance going a year ago.
