A Year in the Burrow: Celebrating our Discord journey

How it started? With a ping. How it's going? With over 5,000 bunnies hopping around, sharing, chatting, and shaping the future of bunny.net together.

The origin of the Burrow

We opened the gates to our Bunny Discord Burrow on June 6, 2024, unsure of what to expect but ready to build something special. And wow, did the Fluffle deliver.

By July 12, our Burrow hit 500 members, with Lily not only becoming our first server booster, but later stepping up as the very first Guardian of the Burrow.

The very next day, the #showcase channel sparked to life, giving our community a place to celebrate their projects, creations, and the ways bunny.net helped them hop faster, stronger, and smarter.

Just a few weeks later, on July 21, the now-legendary "Pingifinity War" began, a monthly ping tradition targeting our unverified bunnies. A bit chaotic, completely beloved.

September brought a big milestone: 1,000 bunnies! The celebration came with custom icons, and even better, our first closed Edge Scripting beta, powered by tons of helpful user feedback. A true Fluffle-powered launch!

From icons to coups: Growing the Fluffle

October was all about creativity, with our bunnies leaving their paw prints on our Burrow (remember the sticker challenge?)!

By the end of November, the Burrow grew to 2,500 members, each one adding to the fun, feedback, and fluffy energy that makes it special.

Fast forward to January 2025, we hopped past 3,000 bunnies, just in time to kick off a new year of ideas and innovation.

In February, the very first AMA took center stage. Bunnies brought brilliant questions, and the Bunny team delivered even better answers. The vibe? Unmatched.

March 11 brought the magic with a Magic Containers demo, and April… well, that was something else. Let’s just say our CEO Dejan was “replaced” by Chief Bunny. Was it real? We’ll let you check the date. (April 1st, anyone?)

April wrapped up with a Q&A with Joe, diving deep into everything Bunny Shield. And in May, the Burrow hit the airwaves with the first episode of Bunny News, hosted by the amazing Kit Hopkins!

And then came June...

A Week to remember: Bunny Discord turned 1

To celebrate one incredible year of Bunny Discord, we went all out with a full-blown Birthday Week, from June 2 to 6.

The celebration kicked off on Monday with a bunny-baked cake, shaped just right for turning one because what’s a birthday without cake?

Tuesday brought the trivia showdown, and let’s just say... it got interesting. A few slip-ups in the quiz setup? Guilty. But hey, Anton gave us gold with trick questions about port numbers, bunny speed limits, and whether Sunil runs on LLMs.

Wednesday was game night, and we dove into Jackbox Party Pack 7, where Blather ’Round proved that we may be fast at delivering content, but we are terrible at guessing words. (Truly, nobody got anything right.) The evening wrapped with a round of OpenGuessr, hopping around the world.

On Thursday, it was time to hear from the Fluffle. Our Q&A was packed with great questions, and the Bunny team showed up in full force, prepared for anything, and they left no question unanswered.

And finally, Friday the 6th marked the exact anniversary of our Discord launch. A special giveaway closed out the week: a limited-edition Bunny sweatsuit and five surprise gift boxes. Winners were drawn on Friday the 13th, because what’s more on-brand than a little fluffy luck?

What’s coming in Q3 and Q4?

The Burrow’s just getting started, and there’s plenty more ahead! In the coming months, expect even more bunnified stickers and emojis to help you express your inner bunny in style. New rounds of Q&As and AMAs with the Bunny team are on the horizon. More chances for you to ask, share, and connect. Group Discord sessions are also on the way. A chance to share feedback and help shape what truly works for you. And if you love getting early access, keep your eyes peeled. New closed betas are just around the corner.

Trust us, there’s much more in the works. Our Discord server is the place to be! We’re building it with you, for you, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.

A huge thank-you to everyone who makes our Discord community such a vivid, fun, and inspiring place. Here’s to another year, and even more bunnies to come!
