I feel proud of being here for a year and feels like I have better mental health due to the better quality of the conversations I have been in.
can we just not call it cake day?
My cake day is coming up in 4 days. Is that a bid deal on Lemmy?

Any thoughts on Lemmiversary/Lemmyversary?

Not everyone's using Lemmy, how about Fediversary?

Oh yes. Big deal. Yes yes. All of Lemmy userbase will show up at your house. Each giving you a different cake. Everyone will eat cake, and we’ll all be very crammed into your house.
We notice you haven’t been joining us for showing up at other Lemmy users houses with a cake…so maybe no Lemmy users will show up on your cake day. Maybe they’re still upset you didn’t get them a cake. Our entire economy now relies on cake sales, and cake baking accessories. Personally I enjoy strawberry shortcake, which IS a cake. It’s right there in the name. But lots of people choose chocolate, or red velvet. Some people get fancy with it. They’ll bring several layer wedding cakes, or cakes in the shape of a cartoon character.
One guy brings fondant topped cakes…nobody likes him.

Completely unrelated, I baked a fondant topped cake as part of my senior project in high school years back, it was the first and last time I ever dealt with fondant, it’s the most annoying thing to work with with a cake and it tastes so bad, it looks good but dang does it ruin any cake

I found it kinda annoying on Reddit and pet much same feelings here
otter@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
It can be :)
If you want to write up a short thing about your feelings being here, I feel like people would read it!
snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I did. See above. 🤣

I agree with this!
I don't think it should be too much of a point of conversation in it's own right - there are too many users for that to make any sense - but it's a wonderful occasion to reflect on the platform, how we shape it, how it shapes us, and how it has developed since we got here.
And I love reading people's experiences with that.

I am prepared to bid one cake for your birthday. This one: 🎂
ccunning@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I have never seen a “happy cake day” in the wild but I did wish one personally to another user a couple weeks ago…¯\_(ツ)_/¯
cabbage@piefed.social 5 months ago
If I remember correctly Reddit did something with a cake next to the user name or something. Kind of designed to derail the conversation. I'm not sure I want Lemmy interfaces to follow suit.
ccunning@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It may depend on which app you use, but Lemmy already does this. Of course I don’t see any at the moment to use as an example 😅
Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I think we should call it something other than cake day. That way we distance ourselves from the site that shall not be named. Like happy independence day or something idk
Hikermick@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I had the same thought! During the immediate immigration from the other place it seemed like there was a reckless attempt to imitate which is unfortunate. What shall we call it?
lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 5 months ago
Nice to see you’re doing better!
Didn’t Lemmy have a thing with nuts early on? How about calling it a Nuts Day? Like this: 🥜
HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Or beans
lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 5 months ago
I think that was it! Beans Day 🫘
