This is mostly me just typing into the void, but I noticed that my 1,000th post was coming up and decided to do something to commemorate it.
I first joined Lemmy in Janurary 2021, before the June 2023 craze. Lemmy was a much different place back then, practically a ghost town. Eventually, I only used Lemmy for a few months, then reluctantly went back to lurking Reddit.
Fast forward to June 2023, with Reddit announcing their new API changes. People were furious, and you all decided that the best course of action was to move to an open-source, federated Reddit alternative. You all chose wisely.
It took a while, but very soon, Lemmy became (mostly) what Reddit lost, and it’s all thanks to you guys! A lot has happened in the past 14 months, with me starting my weekly “disc market share” reports on [email protected] and me somehow becoming one of the co-moderators of [email protected]. So many posts, cross-posts, so many comments, and upvotes.
And now, I’ve reached my 1,000th Lemmy post. I never imagined that Lemmy would grow to become the second-most popular ActivityPub service! Thanks to the Lemmy devs and all the contributors and users that make this possible!
And this is my 1,000th Lemmy comment!
You’re a madman!! Thank you for your contributions to the Lemmy community.
Did you intend for them to coincide or did it just end up being pretty close anyway?
At first it was pretty close, with the comments always being slightly ahead, but I decided I wanted them to coincide.
yes
Impressive consistency!
I see what you did there. Very suave!
Thank God you did this, I couldn’t have handled it if you hadn’t
nice
I just looked and I had 1234 comments.
Lemmy oldhead! Nice!
Thank you for posting stuff for me to type comments on lol
Nice, 250 posts and comments a year, on average more than one of either each day when combined! That seems like a normal amount that no sane person would exceed.
Holy chrimbus! Nice activity bro. You’re like ThePicardManeuver of cats and anime
And [email protected]!
Absolutely no one would ever do such a thing
It would be madness!
Ugh, I started in the middle of June last year and I have over 3K. Apparently I have no life.
That’s crazy. I hope to get to 1k someday.
You’ve certainly done an outstanding job in the comments department. Not bad for someone who’s only been here for 6 months!
Haha thanks. I admit to being a little cheeky.
I came over with the reddit exodus. Just forget my password, so created this account. I probably have around the same amount on the other one.It’s amazing how much time you can kill when you’re constantly at doctors appointments all week.

Doctors appointments? Not for any negative reasons, I hope?
Recovery and maintenance, mostly.

You’re an OG for providing the OC
