Or maybe I haven’t just seen this image yet? I’ve only gotten images where she seems to be wearing a grey jacket.
Off topic but what’s the name of the app you are using for Lemmy?
I’m pretty sure that’s Thunder. I haven’t tried it myself though.
Sorry, who is she? I keep seeing her face in memes.
Some spammer
Or some random image used by a spammer… Who can tell?
pedantic
“Nicole” is (likely) a fabricated character. The character is (likely) different from the image, although the image is commonly associated with the character in our minds. The image is an unaware person smoking weed. However, the character itself can said to be a spammer.
Thus, Nicole is indeed a spammer. However, the person in the image is not a spammer. The image and the character are seperate, even though one is a symbol for the other.
My gf, back off
Sorry bro, I think she’s cheating on you.
Basically the first concerted spam/phishing attempt hitting lemmy, so this most certainly non existent lady is now a meme.
Damn I feel left out. She hasn’t messaged me :(
I didn’t realize you could send or receive direct messages on Lemmy until I got sent this!
I recently got my third one… 😅
I got the first one yesterday and was mildly annoyed that you can not block the sender of a PM directly from your inbox - as you can with authors of post responses. Had to actually click that stupid profile (after reporting it) and block it from the profile page.
I’ve read that it’s multiple accounts across instances, so blocking would be tricky. I’ve had three so far and I keep getting different photos with each one, it’s really weird
That may be but my annoyance was with the lemmy UI not allowing direct blocking of a user from an inbox message - when it is possible by going to the user profile.
Yup. 3, all different accounts and instances
Got Nicoled today
Got nicoled 3 times.
Does anyone know what the point is?Me too! Am I finally part of the cool and hip Lemmy gang now‽
Eyyy me too. I truly felt like I was a part of Lemmy finally

No con. That’s my girlfriend.
No, that’s my girlfriend
Our girlfriend.
The peoples girlfriend
Is that anything like the school bike?
Hey, bud; maybe let’s not bring whorephobic and misogynistic euphemisms into this.
Acknowledged and appreciated. I will be more considerate in future comments.
Community bicycle
I have fond memories of Rebecca
Honestly, no idea. Maybe it could be a test for future scams, maybe it could be a social experiment, or maybe its just a troll.
It’s kinda like the “You Are An Idiot” virus.
Probably pig butchering but I’m not aware of anyone that’s went in and came back with a story yet
Could be a friendica Ad.
Finally got blessed with an inbox from Nicole today and found this post. Hope this lady at least sent these images to someone and it’s not just someone creeping on their cam.
I finally got it too. It feels like a rite of passage. You’re not a full citizen until you got the DM.
I want to be indoctrinated into the Lemmy Fediverse too. Still waiting for my message.
And what if treat my inbox like every other inbox? Does it count if I get one and never know it’s there?
Why would you say this 😂
Unfortunately, these images are almost certainly stolen. I don’t imagine many people would consent to their photos being used in a spam attack.
That said, in the image you can see a bong, and from her face you can tell that she’s high. So these are probably images/frames from a video that was deliberately taken to commemorate this person trying weed.
The (singular) fediverse girl is kind of sad
There are dozens of us

Wait, so this is spam? And y’all knew about this? She sent me a DM, too. Guys am I compromised?
she sends us all DM’s, thats the joke
from all different instances. its becoming a good meme. I suspect parsing the mod log for her name is a hoot
MRW I get a suspicious message from Nicole, the Fediverse Chick
I’m starting to feel really left out
I may not be the Fediverse Chick, but if it helps, I can DM you.
We need a neverbrokeabone community for Nicole-less people.
Does just viewing this thread trigger a message from her wth
You have to light two candles, stand in front of your bathroom mirror, turn off the lights, and say “Nicole” three times.
After seeing this post, I was wondering what this was all about, spent a couple of minutes looking it up, only to get a PM from her.
Have you guys turned this into a summoning ritual?!
Ancient spell from the Nicolenomicon.
she’s watching you…
I joined the club today.
lol same
Congratulations! Each Nicole message gives you 1,000 Fediverse EXP points!
Finally a cryptocurrency I can spend.
Yess, I finally got her with the updated outfit
Got my first today
