Damn, missed my chance to have it be a date I'd remember for a change.
A vast majority of Lemmy users are gonna have cakeday in the summer for a while

And the people who felt obligated to make a low effort post on their cakeday.

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.

I've been catching myself saying subreddit and saying community instead.

LEMMINGS MUST GO 3 DAYS WITHOUT POOPING STARTING EACH YEAR ON THEIR POOP DAY
thegreatgarbo 1 point 3 years ago
Ahhh! Already some Lemmy history!
jennwiththesea 3 points 3 years ago
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.

No we're not. We're just here now.
simo 21 points 3 years ago
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.
sputtersalt 13 points 3 years ago
You can try Liftoff! as well !liftoff@lemmy.world. I've been enjoying it :)
sota2077 7 points 3 years ago
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.
blueskiesoc 1 point 3 years ago
Same on making posts hide after viewing. At first I didn't know how to make it happen, but I found it in settings.
blueskiesoc 1 point 3 years ago
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?
eating3645 24 points 3 years ago
We should throw a group party in a year!
thegiddystitcher 23 points 3 years ago
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?! 😭
Exusia 8 points 3 years ago
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.
blueskiesoc 3 points 3 years ago
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.

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
OmniGlitcher 11 points 3 years ago
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.
wheresyourshoe 9 points 3 years ago
I actually might remember mine, because o joined here on the first day of the blackout. June 12th. Quit Reddit after 16 years on the 11th, so it's kinda memorable for me. And the 12th of a different month is my birthday, so that helps.
curiosityLynx 3 points 3 years ago
Same for me, I think. Except the related birthday is my mom's.
MissJinx 3 points 3 years ago
Well 8 years ago I was browsing 9gag and I saw a meme about may the 4th and it had a r/ watermark (idk what r/) I didn't know what reddit was so I followed looked for it, found it and created an account.
Pixlbabble 7 points 3 years ago
We all had babies on R-Day.
I_Miss_Daniel 7 points 3 years ago
Winter for us Aussies.
I_Miss_Daniel 2 points 3 years ago
Funny you say that. For some reason I had in my mind that 'winter' moves around the earth. But thinking about it, it doesn't work. It's just hemispherical.
curiosityLynx 3 points 3 years ago
Technically not quite hemispherical in that the tropics don't experience seasons either way.
Or how my uncle put it, they have "rainy season" and "not so rainy season", the difference being it rains every day at around 1pm in rainy season and "only" every second or third day in "not so rainy season", with neither being "summer". More like "summer & winter" vs "autumn & spring" or vice versa.
i_am_hiding 4 points 3 years ago
I thought it seemed too cold to be summer!
solidsnake2085 6 points 3 years ago
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.

I think I lasted 2 days and stumbled on sub.rehab, thus my Fediverse adventure began
angrystego 4 points 3 years ago
Hi, little brother.
angrystego 3 points 3 years ago
Yes. Project Ex. The first true AI.
jennwiththesea 3 points 3 years ago
My oldest r account's cake day was November, which is basically the worst month. I love summer, so bring it!
SgtAStrawberry 3 points 3 years ago
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.

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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
