And I haven't browsed Reddit in all that time. I'll admit to Google taking me there, but I spent no time nor comments there.

That's just a feature of Google now, not actively Redditing.
Yep, it's stack overflow now for random interest now.
We have cake icons here too?!
The default UI does.
Although keep in mind that it has a bug which means that the cake icon actually appears a day before your actual cake day, because 2024 is a leap year 😅
Aw I missed mine, it was 3 days ago :(
Well, happy year folks!
We can celebrate it today :)
Cake? Aww shit, still 4 hours and 33 minutes to go
Thunder just added them in anticipation of all the birthdays coming up from the June/July migration (but the feature isn't in a release yet).
I’ve not seen ‘em.
Its fascinating to me how wonderful the discussion quality and attitude have remained.. but its weird that the userbase isnt growing. maybe those of you that are lucky enough to have cool people in your lives should mention it?
I recently pinned the Fediverse poster on my memo board. Hope my colleagues will find it interesting and join it.

Feels like the only two topics that get discussed here are Linux and neurodivergence.
I don't think most people I could suggest this place to would ever enjoy that.
Many businesses also shut down not even making it into their first year of operation. We're going slow but steady, improving quality and relying on word of mouth instead of big advertisement campaigns. There are valid criticisms, but we also need to remember we're in this for the long run.

Who says it isn't? https://feddit.dk/post/5995563
To be fair, it only recently started growing again.
Active users per day might be a better metrics, users only might have a lot of bots
My cake day is on a different instance but I have to say it's been a great year and I'm delighted to be here. =)
My original instance was actually discontinued. Anyone remember FMHY?
RIP geddit.social
I do, it was my first Lemmy instance as well! Many great communities were hosted on there and the vibe there was pretty cool.
I've hopped instances a few times but have thoroughly enjoyed my time on Lemmy since coming here on the the reddit API change date.
My experience exactly. Thoroughly enjoy it
Dang, I'm not even sure if I implemented the cake symbol in my Lemmy client
I joined the night before the blackout started (on Kbin first) because I'm a planner. About a month later I ran the power delete suite.
Happy ‘Building our Own Fediverse’ Day!!
118 days till my cake day!
I'm enjoying it here so much. I logged out of conventional social media for the month of June because I can't deal with the homophobia right now, and it's so nice to have this space to just be real on.
Oh thanks for the reminder.
Heh. Looks like I've been here 12 months. I'm much happier here than Reddit. If anyone else has any good site recommendations like neocities, let me know.
I think my slice is coming a bit later. I changed servers.
The kbin instance I was on died... lol
A lot of us did
After a year, does that mean we're full fledged lemmings and no longer redfugees?
Please don't start with the "happy cake day" shite
Why not? It's a small casual comment people can send to each other
