196 is the best thing that happened to this site

I love Mastodon but I really miss the shitpost. Now I’m on lemmy and most of my homepage is shitposts. I love you guys.

[–] GenericUsername@feddit.de 29 points 1 year ago

We knew the rule.

We brought the rule.

We came to rule.

Sooo, what is 196? I don't get it.

[–] Gormadt 25 points 1 year ago (5 children)

196 is the apartment of awesome

Share a meme when you're here, it's the rule

Welcome to the party, we've got blajah, memes, LGBTQ+, and no tankies

The less you try to understand it, the better it is.

[–] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No offense, but that sounds like some cult stuff.

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Technically, we're not organised enough to be one.

[–] RealAndGay 14 points 1 year ago

The rule is, when you view the 196 sub, you must post before leaving. Anything.

[–] halva@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 year ago

it is (was?) a post anything subreddit with a lot of queer people

[–] OttoVonNoob@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Guys apartment number who made sub reddit

[–] Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wasn't it his neighbor because r/195 was the original but fell off?

[–] OttoVonNoob@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not sure? There's a 195 on here as well so I'm confused.

[–] Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I have no idea why someone made a c/195 but it's not really relevant to the topic of where c/196 came from.

[–] NinjaFox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

They were originally c/196 and renamed after this 196 became wildly more popular to avoid confusion.

Jee, fortunately they're all English speaking people so they're not flooding into local instances 😵 Btw, what is the 196 number referring to?

[–] bottom_text@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

There was a sub named 195 that got banned, don't know more than that

Half of us are billingual lol, but I haven't encountered any local instance

[–] lovetrigger@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fun fact: That dust cloud is known as a "haboob"

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Fun fact: With mods, you can romance Panam as female V.

[–] s_s@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Fun Fact: today is the first day of Arizona's Monsoon season, the time of year you are most likely to encounter a haboob.

The dog is coming the dog is coming the dog is coming

[–] Hadley@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago

dense dog advisory

[–] patchymoose 15 points 1 year ago

Still better than Reddit

[–] thesanewriter@vlemmy.net 15 points 1 year ago

It is true, and it is good.

We smash the numbers and make rhem big

[–] peanuts4life 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm too afraid to ask what the rule is.

[–] abclop99 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out. Rule: You must post before you leave with proper flair without using slurs, being a bigot, posting porn, or having an NFT avatar. [NFTs are banned.] If any mods from reddit are here MSG me I will help give this to you. Just need proof it is the same people

[–] CoderKat@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

Thank god the NFT avatars are no more. If any Fediverse instance tries to support NFTs, we must collectively agree to nuke them from orbit (or at least block the server from the rest of us).

[–] boo3 12 points 1 year ago

My fav sub 🙏

[–] Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago

Being on the same instance as Lemmy's 196 is both the best and worst part of this entire experience...

...and I wouldn't have it any other way

[–] e8d79@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Ever since I subscribed my subscription feed is basically unusable. 👍
