the term “cake day” just makes me think of r*ddit. I’ve seen Lemon Day going around, but we probably want to avoid affiliation with lemon party.
not that we can tell anybody what to do anyway, and each instance could even have its own. anyway, it needs to be something that obviously means “anniversary” and doesn’t require explanation otherwise it’ll just be annoying
Why does it even need to be acknowledged
Fun
We don’t need a cake day.
I mean for some this is Lemmy for others this is Jarboa either way it’s a rodent therefore it may as well be cheese day 🧀
Although this would require agreement of most members of this free world app since some people are chees intolerant
I kinda like cheese day
There are normal cheeses, there are lactose free cheeses and vegan cheeses as well. I think that’s all possible bases covered? Beside, cheese is delicious (I have yet to have a delicious vegan cheese but I’m told they exist - probably didn’t get here yet or too pricey for me - but that’s beside the point :D).
I vote cheese day, your logic is bullet proof.
Rat day
But for some it is Mastodon or Mbin or PieFed or whatever. It shouldn’t be specific to lemmy.
explain the jarboa thing?
Android app made by the lemmy team is named jerboa
Happy lem-aversery would work I think
but I’ll get that confused with the day that we celebrate the lunar excursion module from Apollo 11
Excuse you, sir, but you should be keeping the LEM in you hearts every day. And you call yourself an America. For shame.
It shouldn’t be lemmy specific. Lemmy is just one fediverse app.
Yep, I was thinking Lemmyversary.
we need to take cake day back. fuck reddit
I like the attitude but I never liked the term in the first place
Cake day is nice, maybe think that reddit can’t have it.
We call it a redditism and we fucking move on.
so we say “Happy redditism”?
Fediversary? Lemmyversary?
cake day is just one more way to discourage you from leaving.
how’s that
the concept of account lifespan duration, regardless of what it’s called, exists only to make you feel more attached to your account.
Lemabration day.
I think some variant of cake day is fun but I’m regretfully going to play devil’s advocate this time (even though he really doesn’t need any more advocates).
Is an account anniversary a thing we want to recognize as a part of Lemmy culture? There’s quite a few people who aren’t on their original Lemmy accounts anymore due to servers going offline and cultural disagreements with their original instances. When account migration becomes a thing, does your anniversary follow it? There’s a higher percentage of people who make new accounts every so often for the purpose of privacy and that’s a behavior I think, as a community, we want to respect even if we don’t want to celebrate it - having recognized and trustworthy-ish regulars also has value. I’m not sure if Reddit-level recognition of an anniversary makes sense in the context of the culture we’ve already started building here.
Also, the majority of those who are on our original accounts have anniversaries within like a month of each other due to Reddit’s API bullshit - and doesn’t our Canvas event fall around that same time (although using that specifically as a “Fuck Reddit” event is imo not productive - I like the fact that last year’s canvas had fuck u/spez everywhere and this year’s didn’t).
I mean I always migrated Reddit accounts at least yearly too, definitely not on an anniversary. I’ve always seen it as tied to an account, not a person.
The anniversary of joining lemmy
deleted by creator
That’s March 14th, Albert Einstein’s birthday. But I don’t celebrate that, because I’m a Tauist.
I’m down with this.
Fucking pie, hell yeah
“The anniversary of you joining Lemmy”
Happy Bean Day
