I've noticed that there isn't a single Lemmy community, Mbin magazine etc. for Fediverse memes.

Is that because 99.9% of the Threadiverse came directly from Reddit, almost all Lemmy communities and *bin magazines are outposts of subreddits, and Reddit doesn't meme the Fediverse because hardly anyone on Reddit knows the Fediverse in the first place?

Is it, in addition, because especially Lemmy is too detached from the rest of the Fediverse to know what's memeable and to really understand memes about the Fediverse outside Lemmy?

Or is it simply because Fediverse memes go into other, more general communites/magazines where they simply drown in the flood of other threads?

I mean, I barely see any memes about the Fediverse anywhere on Mastodon. That may be either because your typical Mastodonian is not cut from meme-maker wood, or your typical Mastodonian doesn't know enough about the Fediverse beyond Mastodon, or next to nobody hashtags their meme posts. so they're impossible to find.

And so I thought that this is more common in the Threadiverse, seeing as how meme-happy Reddit is.

At this point you might as well start the community. Stick a post up asking for other Mods to help out.

I don't think it's wise to start a Lemmy community and then ask for other people to moderate it while being absent for weeks myself.

In case you haven't read, I'm not primarily a Lemmy user. I'm mostly on Hubzilla and second-mostly on (streams). It may actually occur that I'm not on Lemmy for multiple weeks in a row.

Also, I don't really want to take care of rules and that stuff.
