Happy cake day, sh.itjust.works!
Many of us are having our cake days, or are close to them. What were your highlights over the past year? Did you enjoy or appreciate a particular community, user, trend, or something else? We want to hear about it!
Joyeux anniversaire, sh.itjust.works!
Beaucoup d’entre nous ont leur anniversaire, ou sont sur le point de l’avoir. Quels ont été vos moments forts au cours de l’année écoulée? Avez-vous apprécié une communauté, un utilisateur, une tendance ou autre chose en particulier? Nous voulons en savoir plus!
(I apologize if the French translation is bad. I am not a native speaker, and relied on Google Translate.)
I’m not sure when exactly my cake day is but have been hanging out with you shitters a while and truly dig it here.
So much of the community interaction and openness to real dialog and sharing reminds me of the internet I grew up on. Thanks to each and every one of you.
Favorite moment: following discussions on the element channel and actively having a voice in defederating from communities that didn’t align with the goals of our community. Being empowered to shape what this place was gonna look like really drew me in and made me want to keep coming back!
Cheers y’all!

I’m here to express my satisfaction and hope for a long standing instance.
Nice, you’re another June 7th!
FYI we are currently the most senior users that I’m aware of, besides TheDude. There must be some June 6th accounts too, but I don’t remember encountering any. Thank you for your long and distinguished service as a SJW contributor 🫡
There’s even a few users from June 5th.
Wow, good finds. Congratulations to those two, the real OGs. It’s amazing how I’ve been an admin here for so long and a very active user before that, yet I still regularly encounter old, active accounts that I don’t recognize at all.
Despite appearing miniscule compared to reddit’s hundreds of millions, the 50k Lemmy userbase is still kinda massive when you really think about it.
Beans.
Jeans.
But no aero machines.
Beans, jeans, and Star Trek memes.
There’s the real joke I couldn’t find
Don’t forget the Beef Stroganoff!
I wonder if that man was able to go without peeing for that amount of time. What food and drink did he consume. Did our suggestions help? Also, separate question, why? Seriously, why. Why couldn’t he tell us why either.
That’s my favourite moment. Early on but it sticks in my head.
Pooping*
Its been great, thanks for being willing to navigate all the federation drama and day to day admin work. Here’s to another year :)
I’m very happy here. I joined during the reddit blackouts, and honestly I picked it because of the name and was comforted by The Dude and later his deputies’ soft hand on the community.
I mostly browse /all, but I do spend time on /local to see my neighbors and it’s fun to watch the communities grow!
Same, I like it here a lot. Kersploosh is great and listens before he decides. I really like the non-addictive quality of Lemmy in general, but specifically this instance. I check it in the morning and sometimes check a little later in the day, it’s nice.
The absence of an algorithm, funnily enough, encourages me to spend more time here. Reddit, Facebook, Insta, etc., all utilize algorithms that feel as if someone is attempting to actively distract and sell you something and that quickly becomes stressful. So many distractions vying for mindspace saturates my attention and makes me, personally, feel less human.
Thank you to all of our lovely admins! It wouldn’t be possible without you!
I’m truly grateful to be a member of sh.itjust.works. Thank you so much for this service.
Bon anniversaire et merci beaucoup!
A highlight for me was having my favorite weirdos cross over gradually and establish some hovels nearby. Example: c/noncredibledefense ::🦹♀️ ya freaks
Nothing too eventful to highlight specifically, but being here has been nice, so there’s that.
Hopefully this will last! To infinity and beyond!
Edit: Shit, now that you mention it, this account’s about to have its cake day as well! Didn’t realize I’ve been here pretty much from the beginning!
Kersploosh, mon pomplemousse merveilleuse.
Thanks for having me and keeping the place nice. Here’s to more years to come.
Honestly when I first joined, I was thinking it was gonna be a week or two at most before I’d go back to Reddit. But I’ve been impressed by the community and have grown to love it. It feels so nice to be able to comment on a major news story and actually have people respond, instead of just having your comment get lost in a sea of thousands of reddit comments.
Ah yea, the “you missed the first 20 minutes window of this post so your comment will be lost into the void”.
Don’t miss it one bit.Haha yeah and for breaking news you could just forget about it. I can’t imagine being in a reddit thread when Trump was found guilty the other day. It’d be like shouting at a thunderstorm."
I don’t interact a whole lot, but when i do i’ve been having a pretty nice experience, thanks there everyone!
And yeah, happy cake day sh.itjust.works!
I like the funny shenanigans like the whole no poop and beans stuff. Those little things make it a bit interesting.
En presque 1 an je crois que c’est mon premier commentaire. Des fois je fais des +1. Mais réellement, je suis un lecteur et à date le contenu est pas mal et bien modéré. Pour le “Casual” browsing, je n’utilise plus que Lemmy, j’ai supprimé mon compte Reddit. Merci et bonne continuation!
