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.

I didn't know that even happened. Must've occurred in the void.

Beans happened a while ago

IDK what voidposting is but beans I think I remember

It was kinda unfunny tbh :/

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

Oh, it definitely was

Beans, star trek, beams, off the top of my head. There's been others. It happens a lot.

The OG Lemmy meme is shower heads.

Let's not forget voluntary constipation, the first topic I remember really consuming the site.

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.

I did the same. Is it over?
