the term “cake day” just makes me think of r*ddit. I’ve seen Lemon Day going around, but we probably want to avoid affiliation with lemon party.
not that we can tell anybody what to do anyway, and each instance could even have its own. anyway, it needs to be something that obviously means “anniversary” and doesn’t require explanation otherwise it’ll just be annoying
Happy lem-aversery would work I think
but I’ll get that confused with the day that we celebrate the lunar excursion module from Apollo 11
Excuse you, sir, but you should be keeping the LEM in you hearts every day. And you call yourself an America. For shame.
I mean for some this is Lemmy for others this is Jarboa either way it’s a rodent therefore it may as well be cheese day 🧀
Although this would require agreement of most members of this free world app since some people are chees intolerant
There are normal cheeses, there are lactose free cheeses and vegan cheeses as well. I think that’s all possible bases covered? Beside, cheese is delicious (I have yet to have a delicious vegan cheese but I’m told they exist - probably didn’t get here yet or too pricey for me - but that’s beside the point :D).
I vote cheese day, your logic is bullet proof.
And even if it isn’t, then you’ll have Swiss cheese.
Rat day
explain the jarboa thing?
Given that Lemmy’s mascot looks like a mouse (I think it’s technically a lemming), an idea that came to my mind was “cheese day”.
cake day is a colloquial term that means birthday.
it’s not invented by or for reddit.also being reminded of reddit isn’t something to avoid; you can survive. it’s just a website. be normal.edit: it seems like it was probably coined for reddit, but I know it also means birthday now. even if it didn’t who gives a shit, the rest of my comment stands.
I think nothing is fine. Or narwhal bacon day for people who just can’t let go of reddit.
I keep asking people for examples of cake day being used before Reddit
you know what good point, i guess i was familiar with the term before i was familiar with reddit so I made the wrong assumption. still the rest of what i said is true: it doesn’t matter.
if it didn’t matter you wouldn’t have an opinion on it lol
so if someone asks a question you literally cannot say that it doesn’t matter, because in saying so you’ll have formed an opinion on it? that’s ridiculous.
you just gave the definition of having an opinion. I don’t know who you should be angry at about that but it certainly isn’t me
I’m not sure you’re understanding what I’m saying. but more importantly I’m not sure you’re understanding what you’re saying.
all I see is somebody still having a conversation 11 hours later about how little they have an opinion on something
The Artist Formerly Known As Cake Day or TAFKACD if you’re into the whole brevity thing.
just come up with an unpronounceable symbol to replace it
I think the concept of “account age” is not beneficial for some people like me.
Your account get two years, three years, but then for just that “big age number” you have difficulties to delete your account and quit the platform because “all of that would be lost”.
It’s roughly explained but you get the idea. It contribute to addiction for some.
I never celebrated my cake day on Reddit, and I was there for 15 years. I just don’t give a shit.
Annual commemorative pastry observance
I like the idea that the event is about honoring pastry, rather than measuring time
Why the lemon party hate >:(
did you google it
I don’t need to google it, it’s a great site
I think some variant of cake day is fun but I’m regretfully going to play devil’s advocate this time (even though he really doesn’t need any more advocates).
Is an account anniversary a thing we want to recognize as a part of Lemmy culture? There’s quite a few people who aren’t on their original Lemmy accounts anymore due to servers going offline and cultural disagreements with their original instances. When account migration becomes a thing, does your anniversary follow it? There’s a higher percentage of people who make new accounts every so often for the purpose of privacy and that’s a behavior I think, as a community, we want to respect even if we don’t want to celebrate it - having recognized and trustworthy-ish regulars also has value. I’m not sure if Reddit-level recognition of an anniversary makes sense in the context of the culture we’ve already started building here.
Also, the majority of those who are on our original accounts have anniversaries within like a month of each other due to Reddit’s API bullshit - and doesn’t our Canvas event fall around that same time (although using that specifically as a “Fuck Reddit” event is imo not productive - I like the fact that last year’s canvas had fuck u/spez everywhere and this year’s didn’t).
I mean I always migrated Reddit accounts at least yearly too, definitely not on an anniversary. I’ve always seen it as tied to an account, not a person.
I vote for garlic bread day
I think ace people are using that already. /s
i think cake day predates reddit
I was digging into that. can you find it? the top results claim that it was just from Reddit putting a picture of a birthday cake next to your join date
You could go off activitypub and do something related to pubs. No word, just a 🍻. Or just Cheers! as the greeting for it.

That’s March 14th, Albert Einstein’s birthday. But I don’t celebrate that, because I’m a Tauist.
I’m down with this.
cake day is just one more way to discourage you from leaving.
how’s that
the concept of account lifespan duration, regardless of what it’s called, exists only to make you feel more attached to your account.
