🎉 1K And A Heartfelt Thank You

It’s already been over a month since we crossed the 1,000-subscriber milestone! I wanted to take a moment to thank every single one of you for being part of this community. When I took over as moderator just over a year ago, we were a small group of ~30 subs with virtually no engagement. Seeing a relatively niche space like this grow has been very exciting. This is the first community (lemmy or otherwise) that I've moderated and helped grow and I'm grateful for anyone who has posted, commented or upvoted here.

I also want to give a special shoutout to @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com who has been very helpful over the past year. And has really been a beacon of the broader community as well.

Let’s Talk Art

While I’m happy to celebrate this milestone, the real reason for this post is because I have a request: Do we have any artists or graphic designers here?

I’d love to commission a custom banner that captures the essence of animation and aligns with our community’s vibe. If you’re interested (or know someone who might be), please comment below or message me directly. I’m happy to discuss details, vision, and compensation. I’d much rather collaborate with members here before looking elsewhere.

Thanks again for making this corner of the internet so nice and enjoyable. Here's to a thousand more.
