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.
Couldn’t say, but it did cause me to unfollow the cat community I was following because my feed was unbrowseable outside of void cats.
Beans, star trek, beams, off the top of my head. There’s been others. It happens a lot.
I’m relatively new to lemmy, so i guess i missed all the other events
I’m relatively new too, but welcome! We’re happy to have you ☺️
There will be more, don’t worry. We enjoy the silliness.
Beans happened a while ago
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 didn’t know that even happened. Must’ve occurred in the void.
