We had a lot of participants last year, but much of Lemmy didn't know about it happening because there wasn't a lot of notice in advance. This time we get a bit more notice.
Yeah, last year we started small with the little "lemmy.nz", and added more and more on as we were getting through it quicker than expected. This year we could possibly plan out what we want ahead of time with more ambition to try to get something that covers similar stuff but is more cohesive.
