Happy ruleversary

I remember 2 years ago trying out Lemmy and getting a few laughs about beans and trying not to poop. I thought "this is ok, but I don't think this will ever replace Reddit in my day to day."
But I stuck with it and have come to love and appreciate Lemmy. The number of users has continued to grow and I feel like there's enough content here now that I never feel bored. Plus I feel like even small posts and comments get attention and we're not just screaming into the void.
So happy cake day to all who did the same thing!
Kind of same, I remember making a login like dropping my bags in an empty apartment like "well this is home now" and my neighbors are trekkies and Linux, as a fan of windows and star wars. Wondering if I could hack it here. Just said fuck it we ball and started posting to try and decorate the place, hoping to be part of the Lemmy that made a difference and gets us noticed among the turmoil.
Seems like we didnt quite make it compared to BlueSky as a reddit/Twitter supplanted, but thats ok, I think in retrospect I've made a fair number of people happy to see my posts, and hope I have at least helped a couple of (mostly) meme communities get either noticed or traction. (Sorry jojokes, I just ran out guys, I didnt want to dig into low effort to keep posting, people deserve some standard of quality)
RiF still lives on my phone, hoping one day I can use it again.

Made this a couple weeks ago for you
That is hilarious, I still don't watch Star Trek but Linux is an absolute Revelation bro! I am totally converted over the last few months!
Same! All my personal computers are running Linux Mint. I even swiped some Linux swag: https://www.hellotux.com/linux
lol this is how I feel being on Lemmy.ml when instance drama goes down. I was just trying to join Lemmy and this is what was offered at the time! I don't even know what a tankie is! 🤷‍♂️

You can patch RIF to use your own API key, and with normal use you won't exceed Reddit's free tier API call limit. I used this guide to patch Relay for Reddit, but it has all the required info for RIF as well:

It's good enough, and that's really great!
Happy cake day!
trying not to poop
Why....were you trying not to poop? Or was this a meme I missed? I remember the beans.
Yeah, Lemmy had absolutely been great over the last year. 6-hour Top sorting is absolutely key here.
Is it a one-for-one replacement? No. There are a lot of communities that haven't been able to come over effectively. But the main core communities have and it's been fantastic.
The post has been since deleted, but someone was trying to last three days without pooping.
Lol one of the comments was:
first day on lemmy, and this is the shit i see right off the bat. I found my reddit replacement.
I felt exactly the same way
They deleted it! That was absolutely meant for posterity
To a t!! Happy Lemmy day you glorious nerds!!!
Took the words out me mouth perfectly
