The Discourse Rewind plugin, now bundled with Discourse core, provides users with an end-of-year activity summary featuring fun stats, analogies, and animations accessible via their avatar or /my/activity/rewind martin. Admins can enable it immediately via /admin/plugins, though users on self-hosted instances may need to update their core to the latest commits to see the feature Moin. The plugin is compatible with the existing Yearly Review plugin awesomerobot.
Community feedback has highlighted several areas for improvement. Users noted issues with localization, particularly regarding word frequency algorithms that struggle with non-English languages (e.g., French, Persian) and vowel counting in different scripts hellekin, Moin. While the plugin supports standard localization files, the team is exploring integration with Crowdin for community translations, a process successfully utilized by Shirly_Nowak for Spanish martin.
Technical bugs were also reported, including misaligned emojis Canapin, broken published pages hellekin, and negative readability scores asa. Most of these issues, including the emoji alignment and the persistence of the notification after viewing, have been addressed in recent updates martin, renato. Users can dismiss the notification permanently via user preferences or disable it entirely per user martin. Future feature requests include adding sections for Solved topics, Gamification, and Topic Voting JammyDodger.

Can the texts be localized via content localization?
Yes, it’s the same as any other plugin discourse/plugins/discourse-rewind/config/locales/client.en.yml at b12e2660f3f3d324638ef55e344f6593e739f41a · discourse/discourse · GitHub
We will probably need to do something internally to hook up Crowdin, will look into that 
Is that good or bad? I feel bad that I have a negative value 
The calculation algorithm only makes sense for users who post in English. For example, only a, e, i, o, u, and y are recognized as vowels. In addition, typical word lengths vary in different languages.
I noticed that one of my topics listed had the 
not showing correctly in the title. I realize it is hacky of me to use these but I like using emojis in titles, and it always bugs me when they don’t display properly. Is there a reason this appears to be hard?
And oops! A reminder for someone with the privileges to please remove my assignments! I admit I have had a tendency to forget to handle my assigned topics. 
It’s not hard, just was missed. Will do a fix.
Yeah I have it too here on Meta…this readability score is probably the most wonky part. Will try and debug why people are getting negative scores and attempt a fix.
Thanks, didn’t even realise those buttons had tags nested in them.
Could we have Solved, Gamification, and Topic Voting sections added to it as well?
Emojis are misaligned:
Wouldn’t “Best Forum Friend” work slightly better? It keeps the well-known BFF acronym for wordplay:
We had some discussion about this, it might change next year.
Ty, will do a fix 
Didn’t @awesomerobot fix it in?
It is compatible with yearly review plugin, right?
It should be. One creates topics summarizing the year, while the other is a tab in the user preferences.
Yes, this was fixed
correct, they’re entirely separate plugins — no dependence on each other
This font used is not fully international. Some characters get replaced by a default font. Other fonts are fine.
Hello!
This is just awesome, just experienced it myself when logged in here
Just a quick quuestion.
My community is self hosted, and updated with latest Discourse, but I am not seeing this new feature. Am I supposed to activate it somewhere?
Sorry if this is something obvious to ask, just can’t manage to see it.
