The Poop post hit 9Gag a few days days ago. Then a bunch of them started coming to "Lemmy: Discorse is Magic" all the time "ironically." There were a bunch of inside jokes about how much they "hated" Lemmy. They even came up with a name to identify each other because this joke of loving Lemmy was so funny. They called themselves Broemmys.
Then a bunch of other sites started to notice all the 9gaggers coming to Lemmy but didn't know that it was supposed to be ironic, so they just came and had a really good time. They participated and were active in communities. They learned of the fediverse and just decided it was a really great place to be... Sometimes there was some NSFW stuff.
Then a bunch of them got together and decided throw Broemmycon and they hired a really pretty good band who does Broemmy based music to come and play as the event headliner. And everyone had a good time, even the old 9gaggers who used to think it was a joke.
People FINALLY realized the unethical behaviour of all major corporations and joined lemmy as a signal of the incoming revolution...

The name Lemmy is seeing a revival for newborns. As parents look up the name and its meaning, they find lemmy instances and end up going down the rabbit hole.

We were all going to reddit, when a Blocker Lemming was placed in front of us. One Basher and an Umbrella later, we all ended up here.
Life gave us Lemmy's so we got to squeeze Lemmy back in life's eyeball and say "I don't want your damn reddit!"
