Today is my second cake day on lemmy!
There are exciting things on the horizon the rapid innovation of piefed, the addition of lemvotes, the amazing tesseract, the useful lemmy-federate, the comfort of voyager... lemmy has lots of promise.
Over these two years I've found some recurring characters here that I enjoy seeing, kinda a small town vibe - I like that.
This is a great place to be!
What do you like about lemmy?

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

Small town vibe is a great way to put it! I really like that it's like the olden days of message boards. Back then if you found one it was like a family

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.

Ugh the hive mind was nasty. I always found it hilarious that with politics reddit was so left and would preach tolerance, but politely say ONE thing that doesn't fit the hive... you're toast.

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely : Setting block keywords, blocking communities you don't like is critical for having a good lemmy experience. Drinking from the firehose of everyones interest can both be overwhelming and monotonous sometimes.
I've removed all politics, all memes, all internet drama from my feed and I don't think I could go back.

Before lemmy-federate you couldn't get a community to your instance unless someone subscribed to it, so I was subscribing to everything... and my subscriptions wasn't curating my experience.
My community block list is MASSIVE, heh.

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