First it was the digg effect then the reddit hug of death and now it’s the lemmy lick!
Lemmy Cliff would be better.
Has this happened yet?
I like to think it did when the Framework website went down after the new hardware announcements.
Someone is too young to remember Slashdot I see …
What did they call it there
“The Slashdot Effect” and “slashdotting/slashdotted”.

I thought it was just “Slashdotted.”
urgh really, why is it a lick
Because it’s something a lemming would do.
Damn is that actually what lemming teeth look like?
Mouth closed: cutest little critter
Opens mouth: 😳 wtf
Tbf this condition is shared by many humans as well, so we can add this to the list of excellent lemming metaphors
Basically any rodent(to my knowledge).
Maybe this is just a bad angle. Doesn’t look so bad in some other pics.
