It’s our Birthday! 🎂

It’s been a wild ride over the past year. I still remember hearing about a federated platform that could be a user driven version of Reddit.

And how we have grown!

Thank you to everyone, old and new who has had an account here. I know we’ve had our ups and downs, slow servers, botched migrations, and finding out just because we are on the otherside of the world Lemmy can’t handle it, but we are still here and making it work!

If I could go back and make the choice again. Honestly, I’d probably make the same choice. While it has been hectic, it has been enjoyable to the n’th degree.
I’ve made friends and learnt a lot. Not just on a technical level but a fair amount on a personal level too.

We have successfully made a community of over 300 people who regularly use Reddthat as their entryway into the Lemmyverse. Those numbers are real people, making real conversations.

Here’s to another amazing year!

Tiff

PS: I’m still waiting for that first crypto donation 😜

PPS: Would anyone like a Hoodie with some sort of Reddthat logo/design? I know I would.

    Side note, but have you ever considered Reddthat merch such as t-shirts or mugs? Those could be nice!

      I have, I’ve got a couple accounts on sone merch stores that will allow everyone to buy a few things. Such as stickers, mugs, t-shirts etc. But we need some good graphics. The Reddthat logo by itself only works for the stickers.

      My ideas were:

      • Sticker: logo
      • Mug: logo + text & BIG text
      • Tshirt: big graphic on front, or lots of random text on the front with “I’ve readthat” on the back
      • Hoodie: small text on front + big logo/graphic on back

      But I still need that big graphic design and some time to create all the other logos

        Seems promising! Maybe you can ask if there is anyone in the community that can help with the design of the logos?
