The sun is shining. The leaves are blossoming. Sheep skip happily across the fields.

It is April, my friends.

Server Updates

Thank you to those who took part in my little button experiment - I didn't expect it to go quite so well, and have decided there will be a season 2 of The Button. You can follow along in the new The Button community - !thebutton@lemmy.zip

Piefed.zip has a new admin! Please say hello (and thank you!) to INeedMana who has kindly joined the team to help out with keeping the place clean and tidy!

Lemmy.zip has seen two updates this month, versions 0.19.16 and 0.19.17. These have been smaller updates, while we wait on the 1.0 release to come!

Please Don’t Be a Lurker!

If you’re new here - WELCOME! I hope you’re enjoying your time here :)

Just one small teeny-tiny request. The greatest gift you can give Lemmy.zip and Piefed.zip isn’t money, praise, or a signed copy of your self-published autobiography.. maybe. Its participation.

Upvote the things you like. Start a discussion, debate, or ponder about whether cereal is technically a soup. Make new communities if you don’t see one that fits your oddly specific niche obsession. (We don’t judge. Well, we try not to judge anyway.)

The fediverse naturally ebbs and flows, tides of people come and go. But if you’ve found yourself oddly attached to this strange little corner of the internet? Wonderful. Help it breathe. Help it grow. Help it be just a tiny bit weirder in the best possible way.

So if you’ve gone to the effort of clicking Sign Up and proving you’re not a robot (unless you are, in which case hello and welcome to our new AI overlords), then please, I beg of you:

Stick around. Add your voice. It really does make this place better.

Operation Epic Graphing

Piefed.zip

For Piefed, we only store data for 7 days rather than 30 (because historically we had less storage space on the server) so all graphs are 7 days unless otherwise stated.
