Happy birthday, feddit.uk!

Today marks the one year anniversary of our humble little instance. It's been an eventful year but, despite fate's best efforts, we're still here. So go us! (or boo us if you think we suck)

- Most British cake I've ever seen
Boo-urns!
Thank you to everyone who keeps the thing running, both in terms of technically running the instance, and those who find or create content to post :)

... and happy birthday!

Congratulations feddit.uk!

Thank you to all those who make it worth being here!
Thanks for having me. Is there a way to chuck in a few quid to help pay the bills?
- There is a link to our OpenCollective in the sidebar if you're feeling generous.
  
  Thanks for reminding me, we were meaning to do a summary of our financials for the community soon!

Happy "1 more rotation around the sun" day ☀️🎉🎂

I really appreciate all the hidden hardwork that goes on behind the scenes so that strangers can come together and celebrate / complain about their interests. Thanks 👍🏻🍻
Very cool to see how much the instance has grown and matured in just one year. Thanks for all the efforts that go into keeping things running
- Yes, it is impressive how far we've come and it's early days.
🎈🥳🎉🥳🎈
🙌✨️🥳
Hip hip hooray! hip hip hooray! For they're a jolly good fellow.... and so say all of us. etc🎂
Happy Birthday Feddit.UK. No present, sorry, as I give you a little every month. :-) Is it a year from when Tom started the server?

  That's a present every month!
  
  Is it a year from when Tom started the server?
  
  I wasn't able to pin that down to a date, this is the day the domain was registered.
  
  OK, but basically, from the start. Not the takeover.
yay! 🥳
Happy birthday!
- And happy cake day to you!
  
  Thanks!
  
  You've given me a home for my community on the dormant british-american-australian podcast, !hellointernet@feddit.uk.
Congrats & happy birthday guys!

Happy birthday guys!
Happy birthday! 🪅🎉🔥
Meanwhile feddit.de :(
- Oh dear, has it been down long?
  
  Around a month now.
  
  The admin is on workation in asia, and we haven't heard of him in a month.
  
  It's only the frontend that's down, the backend is still running so users can still access it through third-party apps. It's why e.g. !europe@feddit.de gets new posts.
can't believe it's been a year! feels like much longer, it's already quite a mature community with a good set of rules enforced fairly. thanks to the mods and admins for all the hard work <3
Happy birthday! Do we get a tom comeback?
- We need to say his name three times.

And Happy Cake Day to us both - I thought I was rather late to the game but it seems like we joined here soon after it was up and running.
