are we going to have a Lemmy Party July 1st to welcome all the new users?

I dig it but I can see only one problem with 'LemOn party' ...some other website uh.. best not google that
- Do we have a Lemmy version of YourJokeButWorse yet?
- when life gives you lemons, make a lemon party.
- Is that the one with the recipe for blue waffles?
You can't have a Lemon party without old Dick!
LemON? How about Lemmy-IN?!
- [Eric Andre Intensifies]
lmao ~ suddenly reminded of the CS 1.6 dorks that would use the infamous lemon party image as their spray

Literally this platform

I propose to make it a 3 day party. Only one rule: no poop

Like that's ever gonna happen
Let's do it, my body is ready.
The 2 day poop hangover on the 4th is gonna be wild
- Two cups are required

Can I invite my friend old dick?

It wouldn't be LemOn party without him!
- There ain't no party like a liz lemon party cause a liz lemon party is mandatory, bitches!
I see you are a man of culture.
Oh and I'll bring my pussy cat

I'm not convinced there is going to be that big of a upheaval. I feel like I'm seeing a similar pattern in reddit users as we have in Twitter users. Everyone's in an uproar over how bad it's getting and claims they're going to leave, but it seems as though most are still using reddit every single day regardless, going "Yeah, any minute. I'll show you. You'll see. Just wait until July. Yeah, that's when I'll do it. I'll fuckin' do it. Try me.", all the whole continuing to support the machine.

A lot of us have already cut ties and made the fediverse our new home, but for the masses it seems like it's just going to be business as usual, albeit somewhat begrudgingly from those who were scorned by the API changes.

I do hope I'm wrong.

- I anticipate multiple waves to come over the next few years, as Reddit implements common strategies ahead of, or after, its IPO; including:
  Removing old reddit from the platform
  Forcing users to provide a phone number for account verification, ending all anonymity among alts
  Blocking anonymous browsing for all but the most mainstream subs or perhaps just r/popular
  It's all about the slow boil.
- I agree with this. RedReader is great for me even though I'm not blind.
  I'm leaving my Reddit account behind permanently next week for Lemmy, been weaning off for two months and doing my farewell to Reddit tour.
It takes effort to set up a new app, so for now the path of least resistance is to stay on reddit. Once third party apps break, their users will have to set up a new app anyway, so might be willing to choose a fedi app instead of the official reddit app. But yeah, we'll see.

Eternal July?

😂 We all start somewhere.

I've heard that they're going to have fireworks shows all across Canada to celebrate.

The US will delay their fireworks shows until the 4th, presumably so that they can spend the previous three days not pooping.

I suggest we create a list of who is bringing what to the party, that way we'll know who's bringing what. I'll start

I will bring the f*ck /u/spez shot glasses!

Now just gotta decide what to mix my cocktail with oh I know shareholder tears
- This is starting to sound like a Halloween Party. I shall bring Snoo Goo
I'll bring the chips!
- And my axe!
I have angry upvotes for everyone

Made my account yesterday, it's great here

Do you guys not remember what happened two weeks ago? All the servers died

And now the new servers can die!
Yeah but it will be different this time! Surely…

I mean, it is a bit close to Lemon Party :-/

I totally read it as Lemon Party, got rather confused and concerned for a moment.

Canada is getting super into Lemmy migration day not sure why but I'm here for it

There's a couple of good instances and July 1st is pudding day.

did someone said lemon party?

A Liz Lemon party.

It's going to be interesting for sure

I primarily use Reddit via 3rd party app and when that breaks I'm not going to be using Reddit on my phone.

Hopefully 0.18.1 drops before the first and a lot of instances upgrade to it quickly otherwise a lot of people might just bounce off of here due to some apps not working properly.

Once Sync for Lemmy drops I'm full in on Lemmy. Haven't logged into Reddit since Day 1 of the protest but Jerboa hasn't been as easy to use as Sync.
- Try "Connect for Lemmy" on for size.

I love this picture lmao

It goes with this new platform .... it feels like 2005 all over again.

I just deleted my Reddit account, definitely won’t be browsing on my phone anymore. It felt pretty bittersweet but also liberating.

Its gonna be interesting to see. I subscribe to some smaller subreddits and I feel like a lot of the casual/ low key users are out of the loop. Either way, I plan to explore Lemmy more as I find new stuff.

I browsed /c/all for a couple weeks and picked up a few more subs with every pass. made a few guesses in the search bar, too, just to see if I could find some communities based on what I like discussing.
I subscribed to a ton of smaller ones, even without any content, just to see where they go. it's going to be an interesting ride.

Nice picture. Can use it for the 404 lol

Nice try, I already know that website so you're not fooling me!

Oh, lemming! Sorry, I misread.

Lemmyparty.org, the premier website to see a single image of geriatric rodents having a good time.
- I clicked that link and thank God the server didn't respond. I was actually thinking that someone made the link to newcomers on July 1st not the stuff of nightmares that still haunts me to this day
- 2 hours and no one has done it yet? Fine, I’ll do it myself.

shall we roll out the red carpet then?

Only the finest memes and snarkiest commentary for our newfound lemmings!

A LAN party on something like Minecraft would be great if you could somehow avoid trolls.

I have a feeling that most of the people who would have migrated to lemmy from reddit have already done it. July 1 will just be a send off.

The Eternal September. The Great Digg Exit.

I'll bring the popcorn!

Enough for everyone?
- I have three bags of microwave popcorn, should be enough right? Right!?

Ha ha. -a Canadian

(July 1st is Canada day) All jokes aside, I love how much these communities are growing!

Alright! I’ll bring the Cider and Bratwurst.

I can bring Native American Bannock fried in lard ..... or if you don't have a pan handy, I can cook it over an open fire for you.
Don't forget blue oysters.

I dunno. I plan to be active, and ready to guide the next wave towards an easy entry to the different culture where possible.

I want this lol.
