what should we call cake day?
the term "cake day" just makes me think of r*ddit. I've seen Lemon Day going around, but we probably want to avoid affiliation with lemon party.
not that we can tell anybody what to do anyway, and each instance could even have its own. anyway, it needs to be something that obviously means "anniversary" and doesn't require explanation otherwise it'll just be annoying

Cake day.
Make it as generic as possible
that's not generic, that's from Reddit as far as I can tell. "anniversary" would be generic
it doesnt become generic unless we make it ubiquitous
mbin already has it
Yeah it's officially built in to Lemmy's web UI too.
Free slurpee day, that’s my cake day too
that honestly kind of chaps my ass. why not just call it "date joined"
awww but i like the little cake icon and everything
im not going to let the enshitification of reddit take away everything i like. im also a bit salty about 'karma'
calling it karma was so fucking smarmy
chaps my ass
Huh... Never heard that one before.
Cake Day is from birthdays, mate. You know? That annual celebration of creation where there's usually cake?
Stop letting spez live in your head and just enjoy where you're at.
which is why I'm asking for sources of it being used prior to reddit. I'm not arguing one way or another
I'm not arguing one way or another
You literally were.
I don't know what I'm supposed to do with people who can't just scroll up and read
Oxford English Dictionary says the first instance of the phrase "cake day" was from a diary entry in the 1800s.
is there a way for me to get around to the OED online pay walls so I can see the details?
