Well done! That's 14.9 times longer than Liz Truss was Prime Minister!
Happy birthday us! I didn't realise until now that the instance was only a week old when I joined. Time to link back to the first post: https://feddit.uk/post/1
- Blimey, until your comment I had not realised I joined just a few days after the instance was created.
- How did you discover it? I think I tried Lemmy before this instance existed but couldn't figure out how to use it so gave up, but I think I saw a comment on /r/casualuk where someone mentioned this instance and signed up.
  
  I originally signed up for lemmy.org.uk, but that instance disappeared randomly a week after being created. I can't remember how I discovered here, I think I just went to the instances sections on join-lemmy.org and went to the UK instance listed.
Crikey, I only joined a couple of weeks after this instance started too... looks like a few of us didn't realise the paint was still wet when signing up.
Thanks @Emperor@feddit.uk , @flamingos@feddit.uk and @GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk for all your hard work! (& Tom...)
Happy birthday
🎉
- Wait, are you no longer an admin?
  
  Yep, I made a quiet exit a few months back.
  Just too much life going on to feel I was doing enough.
  I have promised Flamingos and Emperor that if they needed another, I can step up again.
Where's the cake?! 👀
- I think I'll pass, you never know where those other instances have been!
- The cake is a lie 😉
  
  Looks like I found my first test subject.
Blimey, was all that Tom business a year ago now? Happy Birthday!
Speaking of Tom business, as mentioned elsewhere, anyone heard from Emperor? It seems he last posted about a month ago.

  I haven't heard from Emperor since about the end of April. I hope everything is fine, but we do need them to submit the server bill soonish.
  
  What happens if they don't? Can anyone else do it? I kind of assumed it would be automatically debited from the opencollective fund.

Happy birthday you beautiful brits!
Nice! Can we see some growth numbers/charts?
Past the teething stage, but aren't the "terrible twos" when the nightmares begin?

Congratulations us 👏. And well done again the admin team for keeping this instance alive. Great work!

Happy birthday, just joined yesterday.
Yay, starting only a couple of days after creation.
- Cake day: 9 June 2023
  I joined when Tom announced on Reddit.
I am so happy to have lucked out with this community. Well done to all involved!
Huge thanks to Tom and the admins who stepped up and made this such a good home on the Fedinternetiverseweb!
