Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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.
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.
My Reddit Cakeday used to be nothing special. It's June 30th. There's a certain irony behind all this somewhere.
It's gonna be a big ol' lemmy party around here next summer
We should throw a group party in a year!
I think I lasted 2 days and stumbled on sub.rehab, thus my Fediverse adventure began
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.
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
You could also open an account on a different instance altogether and subscribe to both lemmy.world and Beehaw communities from the same account
Reminds me of all the cake days a year after the digg exodus.
It's the new boomer generation
CAKE
My reddit cake day is on April 10th, my birthday. The reason I made an account was because my favorite band was doing an AMA that day.
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.
We all had babies on R-Day.
as is tradition.
I hat december the 31st for Eleven years on reddit. Always tried to remember why I created an account on new years eve...
mine was may 4th... you guess why lol
Lonely new years eve, probably found some porn you wanted to save...
Summer Boomers/June Boomers like me.
Having cake days together is better than having a cake day alone I think
We'll be known as the Lemmy Boomer Generation.
