Communities don’t get cake days on Lemmy, but looking back at the posts in the Aussie Zone meta community, today 12/06 marks one year since @[email protected] requested the community be created. Since then the top posts this community has had were:
- At 679 - 9 votes and 200 comments: YouTube Premium family plan price update ($17.99/month -> $32.99/month!) (by @[email protected]
- At 571 - 7 votes and 68 comments: The lack of ads! (by @[email protected])
- At 551 - 38 votes and 174 comments: Can we stop buying these stupid things? Thanks (by @[email protected])
I had a look sorting by controversial and I’m quite surprised that the referendum megathread, which bot recruit @[email protected] kept reminding everyone about.
Within this first year we also participated in the first ever lemmyvision contest, with our nomination ranking 4th.
We’ve also appointed some extra moderators since the start of the year-@[email protected], @[email protected] and @[email protected]-who have been doing a great job at keeping conversations on track.
What were your favourite interactions and posts on this community over the year? And what would you like to see the community move towards in the years ahead?
Thanks everyone for the wonderful year!
I’m sorry I did that, it was out of lack of experience and a knee-jerk reaction to reports from users who weren’t happy about posts all being lumped in the one community. I’m not proud of the mess that was early on, and I’ve switched the priorities to look after this community first, and allow the others to grow in their own right alongside this one. Pretty much the advice you gave when questioned, just quite some time later. Thank you for your contributions to this community.
And thank you for modding.
I didn’t want to call you out by name.
You’ve already noticed that I’ve transferred here as my official instance.
