Damn, missed my chance to have it be a date I’d remember for a change.

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

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.

OR… we could call it a cakeday too and rip this exclusive novelty from Reddit.

We’re at war, gentlemen!

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.

Same. I have Kbin, Tildes, Lemmy and a few others just to poke around, but I find I spend the most time here. I even went and found a script that makes Lemmy look a bit like Reddit and I am perfectly happy.

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? 😁

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.

Showerthoughts

!showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Create post

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct-----
