    Can someone TL;DR the beans? I slept last night and woke up to Lemmy just being beans… wtf.

      There was a post about a can of beans yesterday… literally just that. “Here’s a can of beans”… since then, the beans have taken over 😅

      I think the point of this shower thought is a good one though: despite not being centralized, the beans still spread in a very reddit-like fashion…

        This is great! This is the kind of wacky behavior that generates personality, community, media coverage, interest and curiosity, As ironic as it is, I think this is a milestone for the fediverse.

        It’s also the beginnings of a collective conscious which means the fediverse is inching towards a critical mass of some sort.

        I’m pretty sure Reddit back in its frontier days had several wacky trends take over.

        Just my opinion but I’m loving it and I think it’s a good thing,

      It’s a great indication when a social network gets large enough to meme. That’s why people care and are actively making original content for a change. It’s a great sign!

        I can’t upvote your shit. Server too overloaded. Another great sign.

        Here’s an up arrow to show my support.

          If lemmy.world is too overloaded you can’t even vote, that’s definitely a sign to create an account on a smaller instance. Best part of Lemmy is you can make an account on a different server and subscribe to all the same content
