Happy cake day, sh.itjust.works!
Many of us are having our cake days, or are close to them. What were your highlights over the past year? Did you enjoy or appreciate a particular community, user, trend, or something else? We want to hear about it!
Joyeux anniversaire, sh.itjust.works!
Beaucoup d’entre nous ont leur anniversaire, ou sont sur le point de l’avoir. Quels ont été vos moments forts au cours de l’année écoulée? Avez-vous apprécié une communauté, un utilisateur, une tendance ou autre chose en particulier? Nous voulons en savoir plus!
(I apologize if the French translation is bad. I am not a native speaker, and relied on Google Translate.)
For me it’s been the stability of our sever.
It’s run by a private person on nothing but goodwill and interest, which I was afraid would only last a few months. He (and the other admins) have done an incredible job keeping things running smoothly and with a very level headed approach to content filtering and general rules.
You all deserve a massive round of applause from all of us benefitting with zero work.
Seriously. I know the user base is not the biggest or on the bigger side for that matter, but the downtime is just incredible.
I initially moved out from lemmy.world because of constant downtime(which is very much understandable) and I’ve been very impressed with the downtime since.
I’m mostly thankful that we were able to retain so many users for a full year. I think we only ever peaked somewhere around 4k monthly users in the late summer, and have been maintaining around 2.5k active users for several months now. There were a bunch of people that left in the first few months but I’m glad that we still have many familiar faces who stuck around.
I expect the best is yet to come for us, but I’m already very proud of what we’ve built here. Way too many highlights to mention, but one that comes to mind was when our very own @[email protected] singlehandedly halved the bot population on Lemmy.
Didn’t remember that episode, that was impressive
Beans.
Jeans.
But no aero machines.
Beans, jeans, and Star Trek memes.
There’s the real joke I couldn’t find
Paula Deens.
Don’t forget the Beef Stroganoff!
My highlights were watching communities slowly blossom and to see more activity in the comment sections. More variety, more interaction, more content. Getting to recognize users, learning new things and trying to share a thing or two as well. It’s been a great experience overall, and I hope to see you all around on the best server ever next year as well!
❤️
I finally blocked enough communities to not see big tittied anime or Linux every 2 posts .
This is the way
I’m very happy here. I joined during the reddit blackouts, and honestly I picked it because of the name and was comforted by The Dude and later his deputies’ soft hand on the community.
I mostly browse /all, but I do spend time on /local to see my neighbors and it’s fun to watch the communities grow!
Same, I like it here a lot. Kersploosh is great and listens before he decides. I really like the non-addictive quality of Lemmy in general, but specifically this instance. I check it in the morning and sometimes check a little later in the day, it’s nice.
The absence of an algorithm, funnily enough, encourages me to spend more time here. Reddit, Facebook, Insta, etc., all utilize algorithms that feel as if someone is attempting to actively distract and sell you something and that quickly becomes stressful. So many distractions vying for mindspace saturates my attention and makes me, personally, feel less human.
Thank you to all of our lovely admins! It wouldn’t be possible without you!
Honestly when I first joined, I was thinking it was gonna be a week or two at most before I’d go back to Reddit. But I’ve been impressed by the community and have grown to love it. It feels so nice to be able to comment on a major news story and actually have people respond, instead of just having your comment get lost in a sea of thousands of reddit comments.
Ah yea, the “you missed the first 20 minutes window of this post so your comment will be lost into the void”.
Don’t miss it one bit.Haha yeah and for breaking news you could just forget about it. I can’t imagine being in a reddit thread when Trump was found guilty the other day. It’d be like shouting at a thunderstorm."
A highlight for me was having my favorite weirdos cross over gradually and establish some hovels nearby. Example: c/noncredibledefense ::🦹♀️ ya freaks
J’ai rejoins Lemmy le 1 juillet 2023, ce qui veut dire que le mois prochain ça fera 1 an que je suis sur cette plateforme. Au début j’etait sur l’instance feddit.de, mais depuis quelques temps l’instance est devenu quasi-inutilisable(impossibilité de l’utiliser sur pc, accessible uniquement sur mobile). Après 8 mois d’utilisation j’ai decidé de migrer vers sh.itjust.works étant donné que c’etait une instance francophone.
Hello, n’hésite pas à nous rejoindre sur [email protected] !
Its been great, thanks for being willing to navigate all the federation drama and day to day admin work. Here’s to another year :)
I’m truly grateful to be a member of sh.itjust.works. Thank you so much for this service.
Bon anniversaire et merci beaucoup!
Thanks for having me and keeping the place nice. Here’s to more years to come.
I like the funny shenanigans like the whole no poop and beans stuff. Those little things make it a bit interesting.
I wonder if that man was able to go without peeing for that amount of time. What food and drink did he consume. Did our suggestions help? Also, separate question, why? Seriously, why. Why couldn’t he tell us why either.
That’s my favourite moment. Early on but it sticks in my head.
Pooping*
I don’t interact a whole lot, but when i do i’ve been having a pretty nice experience, thanks there everyone!
And yeah, happy cake day sh.itjust.works!
Bon anniversaire truc merdique qui marche, putain, un an. Sur reddit ce serait un changement de compte, ici, on est encore trop petit pour que ça fasse le moindre sens, on me reconnaitrait aussitôt. (Après, il est pas dit qu’à un moment je ne migre pas)
C’est cool que ça ait pris, c’est pas bien remplis, mais il y a un peu d’activité, en tout cas suffisamment pour y poster de temps en temps
