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?

    My Reddit Cakeday used to be nothing special. It’s June 30th. There’s a certain irony behind all this somewhere.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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
