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

Maybe to commemorate one of the first viral posts, about not pooping for three days, it could be Poop Day.

Cake day.

Make it as generic as possible

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (7 children)

that's not generic, that's from Reddit as far as I can tell. "anniversary" would be generic

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (6 children)

it doesnt become generic unless we make it ubiquitous

mbin already has it .

Happy lem-aversery would work I think

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

Fediversary? Lemmyversary?

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 πŸ§€

Although this would require agreement of most members of this free world app since some people are chees intolerant

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

I kinda like cheese day

Jerboa is the official mobile app for Lemmy.

A lemming is a type of rodent, and so is a jerboa.

Excising yourself from bourgeois social media day just doesn't have a good ring to it.

Well it doesn't help that they use the cake icon for it.

Not sure what else to propose calling it but anything else would be better.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

a cake has been used to represent celebration of birthdays or anniversaries for longer than we've been calling them cake days

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

On Hexbear I’ve only ever seen it called Molotov day
