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.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

I literally dont understand and I wish I could block memes that aren't in English. They can't even be easily translated because text in image.
It's just the same meme you have always seen, saying the same thing it always says. If you haven't seen the meme before, you won't know what it says. Everyone is just having fun "translating" what they have already memorized (meme-orized?).
Except it isn't the same meme? It's a completely different picture.
Sync supports native OCR extraction and translation of images as well as fully translating posts and comments. I don't even recall it having that feature in Reddit, but it's pretty awesome to have now.
Any iOS users know of the best alternative for translating Lemmy?
Ponte las pilas papito
This is the first time I see a non-English meme outside of non-English communities. And you can easily block the latter. And I wouldn't really count this as non-English, since the main text is English and the meme text is a known meme already.
I already have to go through and block all the non-English memes communities.
I'm not sure why everyone is pretending that it's somehow extremely obvious what the meme is supposed to be.
Nobody is pretending. People either already know the original meme and use it to deduce the translation, or they have the minimal understanding of Spanish required to read the text.
I'm assuming by "original meme" you're referring to a meme with a completely different image that you wouldn't know what it is unless you read Spanish.
A lot of Lemmy communities require alt-text to display any text in the image, along with a descriptor for the visually-impared users of Lemmy.
Not this post though, apparently.
