Are we doing anything interesting for the celebration?

Everyone should post beans

Lemmings welcoming another Rexxitor, circa June 2023.

I was wondering that, actually. Many instances predate the Rexodus, but a lot of them sprung up around the same time as a result of that.

Trying to think of some way to celebrate on my instance. Maybe a birthday hat on my site icon for the day? lol

Oh, how about that? I say we get drunk. Day drink! Day drink and post stupidly!

That's a Tuesday for me

Went to look and you're right, June 14, the exact day Boost for reddit stoped working. Now ai use boost for lemmy! :)

Shucks, I originally joined beehaw but they were blocking too many sites, and switched on September. Ruined my true cake day

That's okay, changing instances at least once is part of the experience

I assume I will forget to make myself a cakeday meme like I did every year I was on Reddit. Seems appropriate as a celebration.

Maybe it could be specific to each user?

Few ideas

  • a community for people to post in on their cake day, where they can comment on some aspect of their life that's improved in the last year / something they're grateful for

  • if you come across a cake day account, pop into their history and comment on something you find interesting

How about denim day? Bean jean day? Thigh high day? Cake is a lie, let's celebrate real linux twinks.

Mine's June 13th. One more month and I won't have posted anything on reddit for a full year.

Why is that a thing?

Same energy as a store giving me a birthday email.

You must be fun at parties.

Birthday parties to be precise.

Are these birthday parties where we sit around selling each other the latest MLM garbage

Wow it's almost been a year already?

It sure has. I knew it had been a while but didn't realize how close till we entered into May.
