Make people aware of it?? Iā€™m on lemmy all day and filtering by all and local and saw like two passing references to this.

Definitely contact bigger instance admins and get a sticky post going before/during the events

Yeah p.d admin here. I only found out about the event when someone in my instance made a comment referencing it when it was underway.

Getting contacts with admins of various instances ready to give them information as new events roll around is going to be key for growing participants. If people want I can set up a matrix chat for showing off and giving info for future lemmy events and then that can be centralized into there instead of needing to do separate dms.

Theres already an instance admin chat but would likely drown out the event posts since there's other topics discussed in there

I sent a couple messages into the Lemmy Instance admins Matrix room, but a lot of instances ignored the posts I made šŸ˜…

lemmy.world was voting internally on when to announce it but the event would've been over before the internal voting concluded they are interested in joining the next event tho šŸ‘€

and to any Lemmy instance admins reading this, join the admin room so you can be aware of the next one :)

I should just flag that I was the first to join the Matrix channel but actually didn't get a tag notification. I was surprised to see it had launched!
