No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

till next year
Why is he ploughing next year?
Seasonal crop rotation.
Do you even agriculture, bro?
can we just not call it cake day? anniversaries are obviously special but there are quite a few terms we could use, and we could obviously mint one of our own
Any thoughts on Lemmiversary/Lemmyversary?
Lemon Day
And we can throw a party! We'll call it Lemon Party Day!
Lemon Party?
Can't have a lemon party without ol' Dick!
I like the sound of it but a party isn't really a name for a day
With blue waffles!
Absolutely perfect name!!
Not everyone's using Lemmy, how about Fediversary?
The term fediversary is somewhat established already! And one of the OGs recently celebrated his 16th - the Fediverse is old enough to drink in some countries!
Personally I've been on Mastodon since March 2020 - still a toddler. My first post to Lemmy was in December 2022 from that account, but I'm yet to use Lemmy itself. :)
Definitely more inclusive, I dig it.
Oh yes. Big deal. Yes yes. All of Lemmy userbase will show up at your house. Each giving you a different cake. Everyone will eat cake, and we'll all be very crammed into your house.
We notice you haven't been joining us for showing up at other Lemmy users houses with a cake......so maybe no Lemmy users will show up on your cake day. Maybe they're still upset you didn't get them a cake. Our entire economy now relies on cake sales, and cake baking accessories. Personally I enjoy strawberry shortcake, which IS a cake. It's right there in the name. But lots of people choose chocolate, or red velvet. Some people get fancy with it. They'll bring several layer wedding cakes, or cakes in the shape of a cartoon character.
One guy brings fondant topped cakes.......nobody likes him.
(The cake is a lie)
[The pie is the truth)
Completely unrelated, I baked a fondant topped cake as part of my senior project in high school years back, it was the first and last time I ever dealt with fondant, it's the most annoying thing to work with with a cake and it tastes so bad, it looks good but dang does it ruin any cake
It can be :)
If you want to write up a short thing about your feelings being here, I feel like people would read it!
I did. See above. 🤣
I agree with this!
I don't think it should be too much of a point of conversation in it's own right - there are too many users for that to make any sense - but it's a wonderful occasion to reflect on the platform, how we shape it, how it shapes us, and how it has developed since we got here.
And I love reading people's experiences with that.
I found it kinda annoying on Reddit and pretty much same feelings here
If you bring in snacks for everyone I'd be happy to attend the celebration and sing your praises!
Add a BBQ ill bring a shitty 10$ present
Well, not if it's going to be shitty
Best I can do is a 10$ gift towards a hobby they haven't had since covid.
I am prepared to bid one cake for your birthday. This one: 🎂
Nice to see you're doing better!
Didn't Lemmy have a thing with nuts early on? How about calling it a Nuts Day? Like this: 🥜
Or beans
I think that was it! Beans Day 🫘
I have never seen a “happy cake day” in the wild but I’m sure they happen. I did wish one personally to another user a couple weeks ago…¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If I remember correctly Reddit did something with a cake next to the user name or something. Kind of designed to derail the conversation. I'm not sure I want Lemmy interfaces to follow suit.
It may depend on which app you use, but Lemmy already does this. Of course I don’t see any at the moment to use as an example 😅
Ah, I wasn't aware! If it's there I guess people will randomly comment on it for sure.
I wonder if it displays it for users of other platforms (like Mastodon) as well. Could cause some fun interactions.
I didn’t really notice them until the last month or so.
It makes sense that there will be a big uptick in accounts hitting their 1 year anniversary right around the 1 year anniversary of the big Reddit exodus…
I think we should call it something other than cake day. That way we distance ourselves from the site that shall not be named. Like happy independence day or something idk
I had the same thought! During the immediate immigration from the other place it seemed like there was a reckless attempt to imitate which is unfortunate. What shall we call it?
Happy migration day???
Still references the other place, albeit vaguely.
How about... Lemmyversary...
Eh.
Glad it’s doing something for ya.
