Post memes here.
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]

Legit though, it needs to be quality content.
There's no point to it, if content churn just turns lemmy into the worst parts of reddit.
I agree with you, but how do you know it's quality before posting it?
That's always the problem lol.
Like, with memes and humor, as long as it isn't reposted left and right, it's good enough.
But beyond that, you run into so much subjectivity that it really comes down to where you're posting, and who is going to be looking at a given C/.
As an example, let's say you're into android tablets, so you come to lemmy after reddit has pissed you off. Your first searches are going to be for places like r/androidtablets, right?
Well, you can't just r/insert term the way you can on reddit. C/insert term doesn't work unless the instance you're on happens to have already looked for it with the lemmy format.
So, you have to look around a bit, and you're likely to run into [email protected] fairly quickly, right?
So, someone wanting to post about android tablets is going to be quality content there, but wouldn't be at [email protected] because, despite being a form of technology, it isn't where the person is going to be looking (and it isn't what that community is for anyway).
Niche stuff as an example like that may seem to be tangential, but it serves to show exactly how subjective "quality" is, and why it matters for retention. Niche forums are why people were so devoted to using reddit as compared to other options. We can get news anywhere, but connecting with other fans of clop porn is a hell of lot harder, and lemmy isn't as easy with discovery, so the more niche things get, the better the content has to be when someone does finally find your c/.
Eventually, I'm sure either the lemmy devs, or one of the app devs, will find a way for us to search for C/s across all of the fediverse at once, rather than having to know the instance to start. But, until then, placeholder posts do more harm than good. Shit needs a little meat to it.
