Australia Community Anniversary Thread

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:

At 679 - 9 votes and 200 comments: YouTube Premium family plan price update ($17.99/month -> $32.99/month!) (by @trk@aussie.zone
At 571 - 7 votes and 68 comments: The lack of ads! (by @Gbagginsthe3rd@aussie.zone)
At 551 - 38 votes and 174 comments: Can we stop buying these stupid things? Thanks (by @R00bot@lemmy.blahaj.zone)

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.

We've also appointed some extra moderators since the start of the year-@Fluid@aussie.zone, @bestusername@aussie.zone and @eatham@aussie.zone-who have been doing a great job at keeping conversations on track.

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?

Thanks everyone for the wonderful year!

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!

  "Be the change you want to see in the world".
  Then a moderator was unhappy with my posts, so I stopped.

  And thank you for modding.
  I didn't want to call you out by name.
  You've already noticed that I've transferred here as my official instance.
  
  Challenge that moderator to 'Street Countdown', i bet they won't even show.
  
  Procrastination is a hell of a drug
  
  Nice to be noticed! Thanks for moderating ♥️
  
  Ooh wow first place!
- 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.
  
  Oh, I guess it didn't really come across, but I was joking.
