    Happy birthday us! I didn't realise until now that the instance was only a week old when I joined. Time to link back to the first post: https://feddit.uk/post/1

    How did you discover it? I think I tried Lemmy before this instance existed but couldn't figure out how to use it so gave up, but I think I saw a comment on /r/casualuk where someone mentioned this instance and signed up.

    Crikey, I only joined a couple of weeks after this instance started too... looks like a few of us didn't realise the paint was still wet when signing up.

    Thanks @Emperor@feddit.uk , @flamingos@feddit.uk and @GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk for all your hard work! (& Tom...)

    Wait, are you no longer an admin?

    Yep, I made a quiet exit a few months back.
    Just too much life going on to feel I was doing enough.
    I have promised Flamingos and Emperor that if they needed another, I can step up again.

    Nice! Can we see some growth numbers/charts?

    Past the teething stage, but aren't the "terrible twos" when the nightmares begin?

    Blimey, was all that Tom business a year ago now? Happy Birthday!

    Speaking of Tom business, as mentioned elsewhere, anyone heard from Emperor? It seems he last posted about a month ago.

    I haven't heard from Emperor since about the end of April. I hope everything is fine, but we do need them to submit the server bill soonish.

    What happens if they don't? Can anyone else do it? I kind of assumed it would be automatically debited from the opencollective fund.

    How it's worked so far, from what I can see from my side, is Emperor would get an email from Hetzner with an invoice PDF that then needed to be submitted to OpenCollective to pay that month's bill. Emperor is AFAIK the only one who gets the invoices, unless @GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk gets them (I wasn't in the admin team when all this was set up).

    Do you think it might be a good idea to bolster the admin team by another member, just in case?

    I'm not volunteering, you understand. Oh heck no. But might be worth putting the feelers out to see if anyone is interested. If Emperor returns then all good, you've got an extra admin, no harm done; and if he doesn't, then at least you're not short-handed.
