The "oh hey, is that an uptick in traffic?"
We're not going to break anyone's website.
Don’t underestimate the growth when more ground work is being done.
Like how Mastodon's servers were accidentally DDoSing servers to generate a link preview as the post propagated on the fediverse.

Lemmy Tickle
damn it, and just when I believed I had an original thought today
That’s a cute one!
Lemmy tickle? Not enough people to do much of anything yet.
Lemmy's gentle caress
Lemmy's inaudible murmur
Putting strain on websites would require users. We don't need a name for that yet.
I'm going to take a slightly broader view and suggest "ActivityPubCrawl".
Unless that's already a thing that I don't know about?
Lemmywinked
Because.. the site winked.. out of existence for a minute?
Some day in the distant future (the year 2000!)
Lemmy Smash
if ever it does become a thing, it must be this.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here
Ah fuck, our server is getting Gerbilled by Lemmywinks.

In 10 years, this will be an XKCD comic.
The Lemmy Cliff Run
The thing where a server rack thinks it has traffic so the fans spin up but then it realizes it was just the wind so the fans stop after a few seconds
Lemmy users are Lemminators, so the site has been Lemminated.
5 up votes.
The Lemmy Orbital Bombardment, LOB'd for short.
One day it'll make sense.
The Lemmy speed bump? I don't think it gets a name until it's something that can actually happen 😅
The lemmy leave office early because the servers are barely noticing the extra traffic.
The Lemmy unidentifiable minor blip.
The Fark hug of death came before the Reddit hug of death.
...and that came after The Slashdot Effect which was--as far as I know--the original "effect":
I was commenting more on the name "hug of death". That didn't start on Reddit.
I was remembering "slashdotted"
Was just gonna say. I'm old enough to remember when it was the Slashdot effect. And you put links to the Coral Cache of the website as a nice way to guard against slashdotting.
We're like the adorable little creatures in the game Lemmings (see my instance name), so we all cry "Let's go!" when we hit up a web site, and then cry out "Oh, no!" and explode when the that final click blows up the website.
(You'll have to be familiar with the game to get what I'm talking about.)
Everyone knows the best memes are those prepared in advance and committee-designed to be memes.
The Lemming Cliff
Digg had the "digg effect".
Presently, it has nothing.
Digg is dead. Its main page is nothing but a bunch of zero effort AI-Slop listicles. I had to actually LOOK for any mention of anything relevant actually going on there, and when I DID finally see a news story about The Claims Adjuster allegedly being caught, there was like ... ONE comment. A based comment, admittedly: "Hero." - but still only one comment.
The Lemmy Gentle Whisper
A dogfart in the wind.
The Lemming rush
Lemmoned
Lemmy leprosy
Lemmy landslide
Lemmy languid
Lemmy Love Tap
Lemming cliff?
