And now that we're not on reddit, can we call it something other than "cake day"? Sounds like straight up neckbearded fedora shit
Can we just not care? Commenting about cake day is the most annoying shit in the world. No one cares
Back when I was a prolific Reddit karma whore (years ago) it was the best way to get free points for doing absolutely nothing. No purpose otherwise.
Finally, someone says it. Always hated those endless "happy cake day" replies. Sometimes it was 20 or 30 replies on a single comment of nothing but that cake day nonsense.
Hopefully with time we move away from the redditisms. A lot of overlap at the moment. Let's be a new community. Not a mirror of them.
Cultures adapt and shift slowly, but I would love for us to embrace becoming something new instead of trying to recapture what once was.
It will be called poop day?
LEMMINGS MUST GO 3 DAYS WITHOUT POOPING STARTING EACH YEAR ON THEIR POOP DAY
OH NO
Lemmiversary
Fediversary?
DAE narwhal bacons at midnight?
Edit: shit. Shoulda read ahead and noticed others had already made that joke.
I think I lasted 2 days and stumbled on sub.rehab, thus my Fediverse adventure began
I am genuinely excited to see how many people stick around post June 30th. If this place stays as vibrant as it has then this is my new home for sure.
When all this API shit started kicking off I didn't really like the look of lemmy, but now it looks like the best. KBin was fun for a bit but felt kind of chaotic, plus not having posts vanish after upvoting/viewing the comments was a death sentene for me. The other alternatives are just shit IMO.
Plus looks like a lot of app devs are lemmyheads, Memmy has been great after installing it today. There's no way i'm using the reddit app post June so yea...Lemmy all the way, cause everything else blows for content consumption.
You can try Liftoff! as well [email protected]. I've been enjoying it :)
Same on making posts hide after viewing. At first I didn't know how to make it happen, but I found it in settings.
You’re of course referring to the PC website and not the scroll marking on the mobile app right? 😁
Yes. I use PC and I have tried Jerboa for mobile, but I'm liking Summit right now. Which app do you use and do you like it?
Memmy for iOS, the others feature text line breaks on my iPhone SE and/or don't vanish posts that I have upvoted upon refresh. Yuck :)
Having cake days together is better than having a cake day alone I think
My Reddit Cakeday used to be nothing special. It's June 30th. There's a certain irony behind all this somewhere.
Kinda gutted to have lost my June 4th cakeday due to fleeing from Beehaw. Getting in before July 1st still makes me cool though, right? Right?! 😭
We will probably give ourselves some grandiose name like "Founders" All the original lemmy people pre-june2023 gonna get called "early Adopters" like lemmy didn't exist for like 3 or more years and they built it.
exactly
Someone used the term fledditors. That was me. I signed up on the Wednesday to beehaw after the boycott. I started lemmy.world the Sunday after. IDK. I like lemmy.world better, but beehaw is good too.
Mine is June 1st, the first day we heard about the API bullshit. But then Beehaw defederated LW so I had to open an account on LW to follow a couple of communities
I had the same thought this morning! I also wonder if there's a similar phenomenon with older redditors that came from digg. When was that?
Imagine a lot of people have 12yo reddit accounts and migrated like I did when digg went to shit.
We all had babies on R-Day.
CAKE
We'll be known as the Lemmy Boomer Generation.
I hat december the 31st for Eleven years on reddit. Always tried to remember why I created an account on new years eve...
Lonely new years eve, probably found some porn you wanted to save...
Wonder how big it'll get. Lemmy.world has felt a bit slow to load today -- maybe struggling with an influx of new users?
I think it was because of a failed update to a new version.
Mazel Tov!
In a couple of years when this place gets big we're gonna sound like boomers too lol
"Back in MY day, you had to use the website unless you wanted to download an app off of github or get a testflight invitation!"
Jerboa is on the Play Store :)
back in my day beehive and lemmy were federated.
