That sounds like its about the right timing. Where did you find that?
Comment on aussie zone's anniverssary date?

The “admin” user joined on the 8th of June last year and I’m guessing that was the initial account used for setup, so probably that date the instance started

aussie.zone/u/admin or literally right next to your comment:

Right next to the comment never shows dates on jerboa, sync, or on duckduckgo when i’ve checked. As the comment gets further away in time it turns into x months ago. Which is totally fine, apart from in this case.
Cheers for the link! :)

ICANN lookup is another source. According to them, aussie.zone was registered on 2023-06-08 05:26:09 UTC.
So, yes. 8th of June would be a date I’d endorse. It’s also @lodion’s signup date. The oldest “regular” user is @BadlyDrawnRhino, who signed up on June 16th. You could argue that was the day we opened to the public and is more appropriate.

What’s your criteria for a regular user?
Nath@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Well, in this context someone not @lodion. I added the quotes, because there were a couple of signups on June 16th before Rhino who never posted/commented anything. Rhino has continued to be a regular Lemmy user for the past 11 months.

I actually thought I did have to fill in one of those applications doo-dads, but I have accounts on a few other instances, so perhaps I’m getting mixed up.
I think the vast majority of people joined on either June 10, 11, or 12, when rexxit was peaking, at least most of c/Melbourne did.
