    I keep seeing this fish everywhere, would any English speakers be willing to explain?

    This apparently is a "Karpfen", the fish you've been seeing probably was a "Stör".

    There was/is a stör-meme in the German community feddit. I suppise its a consequence of the OpenSource community being very big in Germany, that we often reach the trending (or "all"?) category even with German specific memes.

    The stör-meme was essentially just a very bad pun, repeated endlessly. Stör(en) = Bother/annoy/disturb/interrupt... and also Stör = some kind of fish (which I didn't even know before).

    Also Stör is ofen part of other words so the pun potential is huge. Check out comments of popular stör memes, there are people explaining it way better than me.

    Lmao I didn’t know about the pun aspect until your comment, thanks!

    I studied German in school and my fluency is enough to appreciate many Feddit memes but apparently not at the level to appreciate wordplay rofl
