This has been a lovely experience here folks.

It's been a wonderful time sharing this space with all of you.

I'd first like to extend my thanks to @gabe@literature.cafe and @Arthur@literature.cafe. I seem to recall it being just Gabe when this all started, and I appreciate your work.

What I've truly cherished is the quiet, easy flow of this community—the fact that everything has run so smoothly without the need for constant formal discussion. It speaks volumes about the democratic and respectful nature of this instance. I don't think I've once talked to the admins here.

I stumbled upon this instance quite by chance, and even though I had an account elsewhere, the concept was so compelling that I felt moved to contribute something of value here, which is why I started this community.

Since then, so many have generously contributed. A special, heartfelt thank you goes out to those who share their own writing and pour their creative energy into this space. I have read and reread every single piece of original writing posted here.

I also deeply appreciate the members who keep the conversation going and look after the community during my absences. (Which I do apologise for, I can leave the place dormant occasionally.)

It’s truly gratifying to see how much this community has grown to become a core part of this instance. Thank you all for making it what it is.

Not that this tiny number means anything, but Lemmy communities actually ha e a special place in my heart.

Love, Lacanoodle.
