Has there been a major spike in user registrations or any other metric? I’ve never seen something “go viral” like this on lemmy before.
Beans happened a while ago
Beans, star trek, beams, off the top of my head. There’s been others. It happens a lot.
Let’s not forget voluntary constipation, the first topic I remember really consuming the site.
The OG Lemmy meme is shower heads.
I’m relatively new to lemmy, so i guess i missed all the other events
There will be more, don’t worry. We enjoy the silliness.
Welcome. We also have something like r/place here: https://canvas.fediverse.events/
I’ve never seen something “go viral” like this on lemmy before.
I think they are just trends that start becoming popular because people are bored. At least, that’s how it can start.
I imagine for every user that’s like “that’s cool!”, there’s another user who’s like “alright time to avoid Lemmy for a while”, so perhaps there is not much to glean from the metrics.
Am interested in any data too though, if it’s there
Yeah, i love cats and /c/cats but i had to block them for a few days just to see something other than voids.
Sometimes lemmy can just be silly.
Personally, i loved voidfest. I spent more time on lemmy to catch them all!
I did the same. Is it over?
It is never over.
I didn’t know that even happened. Must’ve occurred in the void.
