🎉🎉🎉🎉 fuck yeah 🎉🎉🎉🎉
the community we’ve built here is amazing, and it’s thanks to everyone who contributes that we’ve made it to a year!
our instance has exceeded my wildest expectations, and it keeps pushing the boundaries of the technology that we use to host it. my initial thought behind starting this instance was “huh, I wonder how hard it’d be to deploy Lemmy on NixOS. maybe David and some of the SneerClub regulars would find it useful now that Reddit’s effectively dead?” and now we’re likely about to outlive NixOS’s relevancy (@self a year ago would be horrified at this) and one day soon we’ll even have a true Lemmy fork worth running. we’ve got so much in store for this instance, so let’s keep this party going!
