Today is the first Lemmy cake day for @supakaity and myself, which means that it's a year since Blåhaj Lemmy went live!
At the time, it was pretty much a two (one) person instance that Kaity spun up as a side project when I mentioned that I was enjoying Lemmy.
Back then the threadiverse was super quiet, and Blåhaj Lemmy was only really used by me. Sign ups were open, but everyone that wanted to use Lemmy was already set up on other instances, so we didn't get many signs ups, and those that did join tended to stop using their accounts, because the Threadiverse was so quiet.
And then Reddit happened and things have never been the same since! Mass sign ups, technical struggles with our rapid and unexpected growth, inter instance dramas, it was a very interesting few months!
But now, after the teething issues, we have an active, vibrant and inclusive queer community that has eclipsed Blåhaj Zone itself!
Thank you to everyone that has been a part of that! And here's to our next year!
Feliz año a todes!

Thank you for the lovely instance! I have been here since the reddit thing and feel like I wouldn't have stayed with Lemmy if it hadn't been for this lovely instance and the very amazing community you have moderated and fostered.
Thank you for all the hours of work and dedication, it's a huge pleasure with you two at the helm. To another year!
joined here only because it was linked by blahaj.zone and really had no idea about what reddit is but now i practically live here all day which i wouldn't do if blahaj lemmy didn't exist <3

Happy Birthday Blåhaj Lemmy! Thank you Ada and Supakaity and more broadly the mod team! Happy new year!
This has completely replaced reddit for me. It's so nice to have a queer centered place to socialize. I've tried discords but I'm too socially awkward to jump into those kind of chats. This is the perfect speed for me. It's such a kind and welcoming space. I've never felt awkward about posting when I feel like I have something to say.
