And that’s a lot of people! All of you are the people who make up this community, and we want to do the best that we can to serve you. In this post we recap what has happened in the past two years and ask for your feedback. We plan to celebrate further in the coming days, but we do not yet have the full details ready to share.
# Recap
Since our last State of the Subreddit in July of 2022 where we reached the milestone of 4,000,000 subscribers:
* We gathered 662 responses to the feedback survey that we ran during the 4-million celebration.
* A refreshed version of this feedback survey is available for you to take here now: https://forms.gle/PcZzHcka13Zmgtbi8
* We participated in a Feedback Loop Beta program where reddit Admins sent out 5977 survey invitations to active members of r/NintendoSwitch during Spring 2023. Admins got 409 responses and gave the anonymized feedback back to our moderator team. This was a different survey from the survey we ran ourselves.
* The subreddit passed **5,000,000** subscribers on September 3rd, 2023.
* Eight moderators retired or stepped down at various times.
* We recruited **4** more moderators to our team to help out in Spring 2023. We plan to open moderator applications again soon. If you would like to express your early interest, [please send a modmail](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/NintendoSwitch) and we can send you a reminder when applications are open.
* There were **24 Meta and Event posts**:

# Planned 6-million Celebration posts
We are also coordinating some giveaways from the mod team to the community.
* Giveaway 1 – Pins and Stickers
* Giveaway 2 – eShop cards in multiple regions
* Giveaway 3 – ?
We are still finalizing some details about these giveaways but we will post them when they are ready. At least one giveaway will be tied to taking the feedback survey, but that will not be required for each giveaway.
# Reddit Community Meet-up?
Reddit recently announced a Meet-up Week for this June. Details are supplied in this announcement post – https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditMeetupWeek/comments/1c1pr0u/introducingreddit_meetup_week_june_815_2024/
We would like to gauge interest in putting on an event for r/NintendoSwitch. Would you be interested in a meetup? What are some ideas you would have about such an event?
# Your Feedback about r/NintendoSwitch Wanted
Like mentioned at the top of the post, we have about a thousand responses of feedback from previous surveys to still sort through, and we are running a new feedback survey here: https://forms.gle/PcZzHcka13Zmgtbi8 . We plan to post results from the older surveys in separate posts while gathering new responses for the new survey. Stay tuned for those.
We are also opening the floor for you to provide your feedback, comments, questions, concerns, suggestions, and more in the comments section down below. All we ask is that you keep it civil and constructive.
Cheers, the r/NintendoSwitch moderation team.
