The small-town vibe, memes, video game communities, and I'm able to use my choice of third party app. That's all I want and Lemmy delivers.

Edit: also the cats

Happy cake day! Same here! While there are positive aspects of having a bigger community, I genuinely don't miss the hive mind whenever it peeks out over here (still somewhat rare for me).

This place has been fun and things are moving in a positive direction I think. Thanks to all of you fine folk who make it that way.

Happy cake day! (Although for me it shows it's tomorrow. Must be the time zone difference.)

My favorite thing about Lemmy is that there's just the right amount of content. I can scroll through my subscribed feed and be done for the day. If I try coming back only after an hour, there most likely won't be much new content to scroll. This is great for not getting addicted.

people are generally nice

Happy cake day!

I had my 2 years this year too. I just love the concept of the fediverse and I've started to dabble a bit with piefed recently and it always surprises me how interoperable it is with Lemmy.

So I guess that's my favorite thing about Lemmy ... Is that it's part of the fediverse.

Also the interactions do feel a lot nicer than say Reddit.

From one cake day to another, huzzah!

It's nice here, even most of the jerks are at least authentic in their beliefs.

Happy cake day! I love the positive, community feel that it has. I like seeing authentic posts, rather than karma farming. You genuinely get nice chit chat here and some real kindness which I really like.

Oh wow, I'm not far behind you. Happy cake day!

2 year gang gang
