This is my favourite, it's a little cheesy and fun, but it doesn't have my biggest issue with the Reddit one which is for some reason acting like it's a birthday party.
I found the whole 'cake day' thing on Reddit a bit immature myself, kind of like a stale remnant from the excitement and exuberance of the internet before it was dominated by a few massive companies.
By the time i left reddit my feelings towards those traditions were like yours. They seemed a bit hollow, over-egged.
Times have changed, Lemmy and its user-base are a reaction to the dominant internet campanies. With that i'd hope we can be more thoughtful about building an online experience thats healthy and sober.
To that point, i think marking an anniversary has a certain importance. I'd hope on Lemmy this kind of thing is approached with a more subtle maturity though.
But at the end of the day, what one person takes away from text, and what another person takes away from the same text can be surprisingly different. So maybe I just read all those cake day messages in the wrong light.

It should be software independent. Not referring to a specific Fediverse app, but general across the Fediverse. I don't think this fits.

Honestly I was praying that Lemmy dispensed with that reddit-ism

I really hate using that term. It's very Reddit.

Everything about lemmy is. It is literally a reddit clone.

I also dislike it because reddit used it... They managed to destroy a lot of good things.

It was their creation to begin with, for free. Stop crying about reddit and move on.

It doesn't, but I do think we should be happy folks are sticking around. I'm almost at one year!

I'm here since the exodus, but changed my instance to one from my country when I realized it existed. So this account isn't my real start here

Cause Lemmyington.
This probably works better with a New Zealand accent... which I don't have, but like to imitate when I'm drunk.

I don't even celebrate my birthday, because... I never needed to, so likewise I don't celebrate Cake Day either.
I'd rather just have a few brownie pieces with my coffee in the morning.
But if you insist... um... "Lemmydag"? (The final syllable is pronounced "dach" like in Dutch)
