[Speaking as a mod] I'd prefer if people posted memes and stuff like this in [email protected]. That said I'd rather not be the sort of "STOP HAVING FUN!!!!" e-janny, so I'm not removing this post. (See r5, have fun.)

Good mod.

That other community seems petty... starved of life and content.

It's mostly federation woes - the community is alive and kicking, if anything more active than this one. But posts take a while to federate to lemmynsfw, and apparently neither votes nor comments are federating. Compare for example the version of the comm you see with this one.
