what should we call cake day? (lemm.ee)

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

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.

explain the jarboa thing?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

Jerboa is the official mobile app for Lemmy.

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

Android app made by the lemmy team is named jerboa

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

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