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)
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.
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.
Takeover sounds so hostile. I feel like it was more of a rescue/resuscitation.
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.
Around a month now.
The admin is on workation in asia, and we haven’t heard of him in a month.

Ah interesting, I hadn’t heard that. Was there an official announcement?
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).
