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 @404@aussie.zone requested the community be created. Since then the top posts this community has had were:
I had a look sorting by controversial and I'm quite surprised that the referendum megathread, which bot recruit @dalekerrigan@aussie.zone kept reminding everyone about.
Within this first year we also participated in the first ever lemmyvision contest, with our nomination ranking 4th.
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?
My claim to fame: I have the 38th (or maybe 39th? I don't think I was counting very accurately...) top post here complaining about AfterPay. Do I get a participation trophy?
I have the 3rd top post on the instance as a whole! I want a medal for that!
Special shout out to @MHLoppy@fedia.io who has been doing a lot of posts here as of late and @Mountaineer@aussie.zone who made a lot of posts here in the beginning which really helped to get this community going.
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.
I think this is the wrong place if you care about points. You can easily get thousands of points on the other site reposting something popular from January's front page.
Here, we can get over 300 comments on a post with fewer than 20 points.
