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!
I’ve thought a fun promotional tag would be,
Aussie_zone, the socials alternative
Possibly recognisable from a certain media outlet ;)
Its probably better to focus on aussie_zone and any future sister servers rather than lemmy or fediverse as a whole.
Its a broad church out there. Last night i’s reading about the Maven AI controversy. People here on Aussie_zone might be cool with promotion, (also might not be), but others on Lemmy might not be, its not practical to check with everyone on every Lemmy server, and it’d not be nice to garner a perception of speaking for them.
