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

    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? 😁

            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?

              Memmy for iOS, the others feature text line breaks on my iPhone SE and/or don’t vanish posts that I have upvoted upon refresh. Yuck :)

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

        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.

          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.
