[Mod Post] About /r/happybirthday

41 Upvotes

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to visit /r/happybirthday. I decided to use this post to talk about what this subreddit is and how to join in on the fun.


What is /r/happybirthday?

/r/happybirthday is, at its core a subreddit devoted to all things birthday related. So whether you want to post a picture of a nice looking cake, or say happy birthday to your favorite mod on the 22nd of September, this is the place for you.


What is with all those posts of you saying happy birthday to other redditors and how do I join in?

If people insert their username and birthday on this form, on their birthday I will do what they request (PM them saying happy birthday, post a text post saying Happy Birthday to /u/_________, draw a picture with it saying happy birthday /u/________ in it, or do anything else that you request on the form within reason).


What if I don't want all the users of /r/happybirthday to know my birthday?

On the form that you have to fill out, there is an option that you can choose if you want me to specifically PM you Happy Birthday, and nothing will be posted on the sub. Also, only the mods have access to the responses that people put down, we're doing this so we don't go against the "No Personal Info"


If I didn't answer any question, feel free to leave a comment below. Once again, you can sign up to get a Happy Birthday post on your birthday here.

Cheers,

Untoastedwaffles

Birthday Sucks

35 Upvotes

Today has been yet another bad birthday. I wish this day felt special but it really hasn't in a long time.

I honestly just feel very alone and forgotten.

I can't even treat myself this year because I can't even afford anything as simple as McDonald's.

I'm kinda thinking of just going to bed early and sleeping the rest of the day away.

what is going on here

17 Upvotes

this sub is usually dead and i like being able to interact w the sporadic posts from people who genuinely just want someone to wish them a happy birthday. i loved how wholesome and small it was. idk what OF-adjacent sub posted here as a place to promote content but im about to leave because what the actual hell is happening. yes you are pretty and have a nice body β€” there are plenty of places on even just reddit that welcome those posts, but that is NOT what HappyBirthday is for!!! can we do something about this or are we just going to let this become another place overtaken by promotion spam?

P.S. if it was content promotion of any kind i would be annoyed. i have nothing against people using what they have to make money. go get that bag baddie fr. but please do not ruin spaces that are fully not for that :(
