We just hit 1000 subscribers! I'd like to thank everyone for showing up here to create a new community, and what better way than giving stuff away?

I'm giving away the Acebeam Pokelit 2AA I recently reviewed. I can ship it anywhere in the USA or EU, but EU winners will have to wait until late July.

To enter, leave a top-level comment on this post before midnight UTC on Monday, July 3 2023. Only accounts that have posted or commented on /c/flashlight prior to this being posted are eligible to win.

Winner selection

I extracted the usernames of commenters, manually removed those who said they weren't in and got these:

  1. "@2throwfar@lemmy.fmhy.ml"
  2. "@containerfan"
  3. "@DuckDuckGoneForGood"
  4. "@UndulyUnruly"
  5. "zzap"
  6. "@ScratchDiggity"
  7. "@billwashere@vlemmy.net"
  8. "@Minsk_trust"
  9. "@lemmy_party"
  10. "pickle"
  11. "@kubusikan@feddit.de"
  12. "@SammysHP@feddit.de"
  13. "@jewinthebag"
  14. "@Hilgerone"
  15. "@MashedPotatoJeff"
  16. "@poudi8"
  17. "@zumlin"
  18. "@AmbitiousView"
  19. "@rule1n2"
  20. "@escew"
  21. "@PsychedSy"
  22. "@masterironchef"

I then requested a random integer from 0 to 21 (inclusive) from random.org. The winning number was 2 and the winner is @DuckDuckGoneForGood@lemmy.world

I don't qualify (I haven't posted yet) and don't need another light anyway. But I'm excited to see some familiar faces over here, and hope to see this place grow.

After some trouble with the federation I'm finally able to see this post on this instance...

Thank you for the giveaway, I'm in!

1000! Very cool. That is some quick growth in less than a month.

and one day later we are almost at 1200 subscribers.

Love ya Zak! Happy to be here with you all :D:D:D

[–] UndulyUnruly@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Good to see you here, Zak.

Abandoned Reddit after the Apollo fiasco.

[–] DuckDuckGoneForGood@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Woohoo!!

[–] Zak@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

You're the winner! PM me your mailing address.

[–] lemmy_party@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Fingers crossed!

[–] containerfan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks for establishing the community here, Zak. This is where all my content goes now.

[–] 2throwfar@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the idea of using Lemmy also Zak. It's good to have some different options. 👍

[–] Minsk_trust@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Im always on the search for a great pen light. I work in live audio. Im backstage at concerts essentially and am using flashlights constantly. Unfortunately ive always found lithium sized lights too big since im also carrying a knife, leatherman, walkie talkie, tour passes, earplug case, blah blah blah. I end up buying cheap pen lights but am def on the lookout for aa or aaa lights that have functionality and good build quality. Ideally one that can be white light or red with adjustable brightness. Not sure if thats a thing.

Edit: Just sent myself down a rabbit hole lol. Anybody have thoughts on the Emisar D2 dual channel 14500?

[–] Spicy3d@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks for doing this @Zak I really appreciate having a secondary flashlight community that has the same good vibes.

I'm not entering into this one, so don't count me in!

I would also like to keep this community growing as well, so I think I'm hoping to do some giveaways here as well!

[–] pacoboyd@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Love to see you guys moved over here! I missed the cut off but subbed for flashlight goodness on Lemmy!

[–] Zak@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wouldn't call it a move so much as a new community with many of the same active members. I'll still be on Reddit for the foreseeable future, but I might have some more perks coming up just for those who join us on Lemmy.

[–] zzap129@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I will still use reddit but not post any pictures there anymore as it is annoying to do without RIF and I wont be using their reddit app. Very easy here on Lemmy!

[–] masterironchef@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That thing has a trippy battery.

[–] Hilgerone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks for doing this Zak.

This would be perfect for my son who's starting his paramedic program next month!

Definitely keeping an eye over here and luckily the app I use for reddit (Boost) is working on converting it to Lemmy. 👍

[–] pickle@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Glad this is taking off! Always appreciate your reviews

[–] jewinthebag@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks for leading us, Zak!

[–] billwashere@vlemmy.net 1 points 2 years ago

I like giveaways 😀

[–] kubusikan@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Hopefully this community will grow even further!

[–] Tzayad@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I don't need the light, I'm just happy to be here, and happy to see the Lemmy community keep growing!
