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
yeah, I'm good with that too.
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.
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.
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.
Mod parent up.
It will be called poop day?
LEMMINGS MUST GO 3 DAYS WITHOUT POOPING STARTING EACH YEAR ON THEIR POOP DAY
OH NO
the rite of passage lmao
Lemmiversary
OR... we could call it a cakeday too and rip this exclusive novelty from Reddit.
We're at war, gentlemen!
please. stop.

Fediversary?
Um, I kind of liked it, though... Maybe an option to opt out? I'm fine with renaming it, too. I've always preferred key lime pie or tiramisu for my birthday.

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.

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.
My Reddit Cakeday used to be nothing special. It's June 30th. There's a certain irony behind all this somewhere.

We should throw a group party in a year!
It's gonna be a big ol' lemmy party around here next summer
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
It's the new boomer generation
CAKE
My reddit cake day is on April 10th, my birthday. The reason I made an account was because my favorite band was doing an AMA that day.
At least it isn't the 11th of September anymore, so I guess that's something. On the other hand I always remembered that it was my cake day.
I don't even remember how it became that in the first place; I usually try to stay away from social media that day and a few days around it.
Reminds me of all the cake days a year after the digg exodus.
Summer Boomers/June Boomers like me.
We'll be known as the Lemmy Boomer Generation.
Hey does anybody know if this community is ran by the same people who ran the subreddit
I think that would be epic if so or is this just a clone
It's not. This community so far has a single mod, @vatlark.
To quote him from here:
I created this community because it was my favorite on Reddit and I couldn’t find one on Lemmy.
I hat december the 31st for Eleven years on reddit. Always tried to remember why I created an account on new years eve...
mine was may 4th... you guess why lol
