Does this count?:

Constitution Sections on Due Process and Foreign Gifts Just Vanished from Congress' Website - 404media

The deletions, as of August 6, are also archived here. The change was spotted by users on Lemmy, an open-source aggregation platform and forum.

Edit: other direct mention in the article:

As people in the Lemmy forum conversation note, this could be a glitch, or some kind of error with the site. But considering the page doesn’t include many dynamic elements, and is mainly a text reprinting of the Constitution, a nearly 240-year-old document that hasn’t changed since the addition of the 27th Amendment in 1992—and that the page itself has barely changed at all in the six years it’s been archived—it’s a noteworthy and sudden move. 

I don't know for certain, but can't really imagine that being the case. There are several reasons I can't imagine something going viral off lemmy per now:

• 1. The combined user mass of lemmy is probably smaller than the critical mass needed to really go viral

• 1a. This could be "worked around" if someone reposted from lemmy to some other, larger network. Still, I wouldn't say that meant something "went viral off lemmy", since that would imply it went viral before being reposted.

• 2. Lemmy doesn't (by default) push heavily to get trending stuff into everyones feed.

• 2a. I say "by default" because I'm assuming someone could set up an instance designed around maximising the views of trending material.

• 3. Slightly related to 1, but afaik, there are few, if any, very big social media personalities on here. For something to go viral, you're basically reliant on either an algorithm catching on to your stuff and shoving it in everyone's face or some person with a huge following shoving it in everyone's face.
• 4. The very system of lemmy (following communities rather than users) makes it extremely difficult for any individual user to gather a large enough following to make things go viral by posting/sharing them

Basically: Too small user mass, no big personalities, and a "following system"/visibility algorithm built around promoting interesting and healthy media consumption rather than cultish behaviour prevents things from going viral off lemmy.---

Yes. Well, depends how you define viral. Even more yes if you look at the Fediverse as a whole.

Beans.

I ask because i would like to take that dipshit of Minnestoa with the daycare crap down a couple pegs.

Pondering orbs was viral on Lemmy, but idk if it jumped to the rest of the world.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
