I've been here since the post r/CTH ban discord lifeboat days, and I'm still amazed at how dense the history of this community is. There's so much apocrypha that will be lost to time if we don't perpetuate it by putting to writing what each of us remembers personally.

Up until recently, there was this whole-ass over a year long period wherein posts and comments disappeared from search and user histories if they were more than a couple months old. The extensively forked lemmy code Hexbear used just couldn't handle such a large database, we had to return to the main lemmy branch to regain that stuff. I feel this saga disconnected us from our history on this site. Many of the funniest struggle sessions and incidents have all but disappeared from the site's cultural memory as a result.

My corgi reserves 90% of his brain to devising treat acquisition schemes and the other 10% is pure vibes. bunny-vibe

Oh comrade, we have much to talk about. I am yet to own a "typical" corgi, this current one is the silent and snuggly type.

My wife's family has had 4 corgi's since I've known them and my wife and I have had 2 corgi's. All of them had different quirks and features, lol. Current one wanted no touch at all, maybe the occasional head pat, then he turned 2 and a switch flipped. Now belly rubs and snuggles are party mandates
