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

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

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

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.

But for some it is Mastodon or Mbin or PieFed or whatever. It shouldn’t be specific to lemmy.

It shouldn’t be lemmy specific. Lemmy is just one fediverse app.

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.

Agreed, especially in Lemmy where accounts are bound to instances that you may not stick with. I’m a good example. I’ve been on Lemmy for over a year, but just abandoned my account on lemmy.world because I kind of hated it there lol.

Cake day.

Make it as generic as possible

that’s not generic, that’s from Reddit as far as I can tell. “anniversary” would be generic

Cake Day is from birthdays, mate. You know? That annual celebration of creation where there’s usually cake?

Stop letting spez live in your head and just enjoy where you’re at.

which is why I’m asking for sources of it being used prior to reddit. I’m not arguing one way or another
