A vast majority of Lemmy users are gonna have cakeday in the summer for a while

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
-
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 removed (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.
-
-
Lemmiversary
-
Fediversary?
-
DAE narwhal bacons at midnight?
Edit: shit. Shoulda read ahead and noticed others had already made that joke.
-
OR... we could call it a cakeday too and rip this exclusive novelty from Reddit.
We're at war, gentlemen!
-
please. stop.
-
-
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.
-
You can try Liftoff! as well !liftoff@lemmy.world. I've been enjoying it :)
-
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.

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.
-
I know mine is somewhere in June or July, so it's really more of the same. You would think I'd learn in 13 years which day it is, but much like my actual birthday, it's just another day.
-
-
It's the new boomer generation
-
It's gonna be a big ol' lemmy party around here next summer
-
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.
-
We should throw a group party in a year!
-
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.
-
-
CAKE
-
I think I lasted 2 days and stumbled on sub.rehab, thus my Fediverse adventure began
-
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
-
You could also open an account on a different instance altogether and subscribe to both lemmy.world and Beehaw communities from the same account
-
-
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
-
Lonely new years eve, probably found some porn you wanted to save...
-
-
Having cake days together is better than having a cake day alone I think
-
We'll be known as the Lemmy Boomer Generation.
-
Imagine a lot of people have 12yo reddit accounts and migrated like I did when digg went to shit.
-
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.
-
as is tradition.
-
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?
-
According to other comments 12 years ago and yes - it was exactly the same.
At least that's what they say. I missed the digg era, joined reddit 9 years ago.
-
Spooky! Mine too was 9 years! Feb 13, 2014. It was fun over there, but I like it here better.

We all had babies on R-Day.
-
Summer Boomers/June Boomers like me.
-
Winter down here in Aus. 15th June for me.
-
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.
-
Reminds me of all the cake days a year after the digg exodus.
-
Winter for us Aussies.
-
And you know, the rest of the bottom half of the planet
-
Also winter in South America

-
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.
-
-
-
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.
