Yeah, I make OC for lemmy occasionally, but the majority of memes are saved from other sites.

I see it as a doing a little bit of dumpster diving so that lemmy doesn't have to.

It's appreciated. There's no way with how prolific you are that you could sustain it if it was all OC.

Oh god, it would be practically full time. I'm still really slow at making memes, but I'm starting to learn the tricks.

I still don't see how what you're doing isn't full-time.

It really doesn't feel like too much. I just drop a few memes whenever I find a free minute or two. Usually during the day, but sometimes I go hours or even a busy day without thinking about it.

It means that I'm using lemmy as much as I used to check reddit though, but I'm having fun actually contributing instead of lurking this time around.
