I created my blog! | OddsRabbit Newsletter #10

Hi Rabbitors! Hope you’ve had a great September so far!

I’ve recently created a new community for new users and introductions, come say c/hi and meet/greet some of the new users on the platform!

Anyway, OddsRabbit has just released our new Blog (Spaces), and I’ve just created my own blog if you want to check it out. I’ll be sharing a bit of my personal life, behind-the-scenes things happening at OddsRabbit, and honestly whatever crosses my mind - including (next up) my thoughts on social media algorithms and how I built OddsRabbit’s own feed.

Now back to the platform update!

What’s new

Inspired by LiveJournal, Blogger, Medium, and SubStack, blog (spaces) has come to OddsRabbit!

Spaces is a new concept on OddsRabbit, designed to keep the platform’s core experience the same, while extending community capabilities and design by intention. Blog (spaces) are a personal editorial space for you.

The Hall of Rabbitors

A month late, but the Hall of Rabbitors is finally coming… for the legends of OddsRabbit…

Creator spotlight

Highlighting a few of the awesome creators on OddsRabbit

B_rad's Xennonite Relay

@b_rad has been writing exquisite pieces that keeps you thinking for days. His latest, It’s Nothing Personal explores the differences between personal meaning and _personal_ meaning.

You can follow along on his Xennonites relay or in the /c/xennonites.

Xennonites also happens to stand for "people who remember what it was like to put the human first" which I love.

LilTadpole71 - Radio DJ and Personality

@liltadpole71 is the proud owner of OddsRabbit's cutest old man cat. Don't agree with me? Fight her on it in /c/Cats

Off-platform, she's also a radio personality. Catch shorts of her daily on-air devotionals on her YouTube channel TanyaLynnOnAir

A Quote

You will understand that happiness is not about running away from what hurts you, but about awakening within yourself the strengths that already exist, assets whose existence you don't even suspect, but thanks to which you will move forward

By the numbers

First milestone achieved! Over 10,000 meals donated thanks to your help in the community impact! 50,000 next?!

Trying to think of a celebration… any suggestions?

Closing it out

I don’t know how to explain it, but looking back at how far OddsRabbit has come reminded me of one of my favorite comics

OddsRabbit isn’t 100% there yet, and no, it hasn’t all been figured out, but I really wanted to thank you for being on this journey and giving this tiny little platform a try - even through all the bugs, issues, and growing pains.

P.S. I’ll be launching OddsRabbit on ProductHunt this Sunday and am aiming for that #1 spot. I would greatly appreciate it if you keep an eye out and spend 5 minutes to support us that day!
