みんな、あけおめことよろ！

Imagine 'おめ' as a quick high-five. It's for small, fast wins, like in a game. For big life events, it might seem too quick or not serious enough.
This is very different from 'omedetou'. 'Omedetou' can be used anywhere. 'Ome' is only for very casual chats. It is like saying 'thx' instead of 'thank you very much'.
Don't use this when you talk to your boss. It is not for formal places. You will mostly see it in texts or online games. People do not often say it out loud.
