I remember 2 years ago trying out Lemmy and getting a few laughs about beans and trying not to poop. I thought "this is ok, but I don't think this will ever replace Reddit in my day to day."

But I stuck with it and have come to love and appreciate Lemmy. The number of users has continued to grow and I feel like there's enough content here now that I never feel bored. Plus I feel like even small posts and comments get attention and we're not just screaming into the void.

So happy cake day to all who did the same thing!

trying not to poop

Why....were you trying not to poop? Or was this a meme I missed? I remember the beans.

Yeah, Lemmy had absolutely been great over the last year. 6-hour Top sorting is absolutely key here.

Is it a one-for-one replacement? No. There are a lot of communities that haven't been able to come over effectively. But the main core communities have and it's been fantastic.

The post has been since deleted, but someone was trying to last three days without pooping.
