Hey all, can anyone tell me the date we’re gona land on for the first anniverssary?

I guess it’ll be when the instance was spun up? Or i don’t know, maybe when it was a twinkle in Lodion’s eye?

As Nath posted, the domain was registered June 8th 2023. Lemmy was set up on the domain that same day.

That’s a year that has flown by…

The “admin” user joined on the 8th of June last year and I’m guessing that was the initial account used for setup, so probably that date the instance started

ICANN lookup is another source. According to them, aussie.zone was registered on 2023-06-08 05:26:09 UTC.

So, yes. 8th of June would be a date I’d endorse. It’s also @lodion’s signup date. The oldest “regular” user is @BadlyDrawnRhino, who signed up on June 16th. You could argue that was the day we opened to the public and is more appropriate.

What’s your criteria for a regular user?

I see what you mean, you pre-date June 16th. I actually didn’t know there was a week where signups were free-for-all and not admin approved. Rhino was the earliest user who was approved by an admin. Now I’m back to endorsing June 8th.

Right next to the comment never shows dates on jerboa, sync, or on duckduckgo when i’ve checked. As the comment gets further away in time it turns into x months ago. Which is totally fine, apart from in this case.

Cheers for the link! :)

Edit: Okay, just checked the link. I now understand your reply. Lol, Cheers.

I’ll bet there’s a massive meet up planned in Melbourne. Thousands are expected, and streets are being closed in preparation.

In Brisbane it will just be me, the bandicoot, and the coax cable guy arguing over who gets the Falcon.

Brisbane is the second largest city-based community on Aussie.zone!

Last I checked Melbourne was the largest city-based community on Lemmy…

Melbourne’s daily threads have like 65535 comments a day. Brisbane’s daily thread generally has 3.

I’m getting sore shoulders doing all this carrying.

I try to help out by posting Brisbane articles whenever I see them, but not living in Brisbane makes it hard to join in on discussions

I check in on your DTs and chuck out some upvotes every so often
