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?

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.

I actually thought I did have to fill in one of those applications doo-dads, but I have accounts on a few other instances, so perhaps I'm getting mixed up.

I think the vast majority of people joined on either June 10, 11, or 12, when rexxit was peaking, at least most of c/Melbourne did.

I stuck with BaconReader until it stopped working on July 1. Then I just detoxed for a bit.
After a couple of days, I looked into this whole Lemmy thing and then laughed out loud when I saw an old friend was running the Australian instance.
