A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), [email protected] can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. [email protected]

It's what I see on Kbin, browsing through all.
How do you see where the users are from?
I don't see userbase. I see posted content, based on what I see from Kbin.
So you just assume they are Americans for no real reason?
Maybe they're Americans from U.S., but I don't care about that. I was just referring to the posts I see when I'm browsing all, because the vast majority refer to U.S. things.
Doesn’t Kbin filter based on your language preferences? And even then, English is used by non-native speakers (such as myself) as well, because it’s the language that most people understand and it allows you to speak to a much larger user base.
Lemmy has a language filter in your user settings. And every post/comment has a field to specify language. When I first started I couldn't see most comments because I didn't have the right languages selected in my profile.
I don't mind seeing content in English or other languages. A different thing is to understand what is written in those other languages, except Spanish and maybe Portuguese, French or Italian. But I don't remember seeing any language filter. But I know there is a language filter on Lemmy.
I’ve checked and you can find it on the settings page in the general section. I’ve briefly tested it and it seems to do what it says, but of course it fully depends on comments and posts being correctly labeled. I suspect that many people don’t correctly label their posts and comments. I know I don’t.
Didn’t even have to scroll ten posts down. On Kbin. Just now.
