Comment on aussie zone's anniverssary date?

Nath@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

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?

  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.

    I stuck with BaconReader until it stopped working on July 1. Then I just detoxed for a bit.
    After a couple of days, I looked into this whole Lemmy thing and then laughed out loud when I saw an old friend was running the Australian instance.
