I saw a post referencing Lemmy’s “obsession with beans” and it made me think of this.

Despite narwhals and bacon becoming something you say sarcastically to make fun of redditors for the past 10+ years, some users here tried to make “beans” the Lemmy equivalent and for a week or two, half the posts here were about beans…then it thankfully stopped.

Since then I’ve seen a handful of bean references but a significantly larger amount of references to bean references.

Beans were a blip in the Lemmy timeline and i’s like gaslit us into thinking Lemmy is actually obsessed with beans. The posts/comments get upvoted but…where are the beans?

Just thought that was kinda funny.

    It was the meme of the week when the majority of us joined Lemmy. And there was a lot of new enthusiastic posters. Same thing with the 3 day* no poop “challenge”.

      Yeah! I remember it happening but I still see it referenced like it wasn’t a fleeting moment

        People want to feel a part of something? Or maybe the Lemmy-bean association became a thing on reddit?
