RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

After Reddit enshittified, they shutdown Secret Santa. Some people made a spiritual successor to it. I think Lemmy is a good place to promote it.

I always try to send at least a postcard. I missed it last year, so I really wanted to remember this year to sign up before the deadline.

I used to do CenturyClub secret santa. I received a really cool Nemo made of bottlecaps.

I miss that sort of in-group camaraderie, but I don't feel like I've found that on Lemmy yet.

I mostly miss CenturyClub new user threads. That was a delightful sub to be a member of.

I miss the flair threads. It was one thing to have people pick flair based on your username, but having flair that was based on an inside joke or some notable conversation made it feel like Cheers.

I liked the idea of flair threads, but time zone issues meant I could never meaningfully participate in them, since if you didn't get in in the first hour or so you'd have missed the conversation.

You're right. In the early days, people would take the time to make sure all participants got flaired. It would be a full day, and there might be 100 comments. Eventually, it became too big, and each thread had 1,000 comments within five minutes. You can't know 1,000 people personally, and taking the time to upvote all of them was impossible.
