Star Wars Memes

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

IMPORTANT

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

==========

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

And that kids is why you make your lemmy account before you delete your Reddit account

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I didn't have a choice, admins banned me off Reddit lol

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Honestly - and it pains me to say it - I don’t think so.

Anyone who was really going to leave Reddit has probably already moved over here (or somewhere else) to start posting and building their new community, everyone who is left doesn’t care enough about what they’re doing to make the move.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think it's going to be a mass migration, but I do think there are a lot of people that are just using Reddit until the 30th, then they'll start looking at other options. That's kind of what I'm doing, but I'm dipping my toes into other sites a little early.

I do think there are a lot of people that are just using Reddit until the 30th, then they’ll start looking at other options.

That's what I'm thinking too. When people's apps shutdown, it will probably cause some migration.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

We will get more over the next week and month as people drop the "official" app due to various reasons of it not being good enough. By the end of July everyone will have probably moved and found their new homes on Fediverse, reddit app, tildes, or other site.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I feel like there’s more likely to be a bigger exodus of third-party app users to the “official” Reddit app (which was itself a third-party app at one point before it was bought up) than there is to be users to Lemmy or Tildes or wherever. I think a lot of casual Reddit users just don’t care about this whole thing and they’ll just use whatever. Over time they’ll migrate (assuming content creators also move on).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. I'll use old.reddit/.compact (I think they removed that feature, I think I'll use some chrome extension on kiwi browser to get a usable old.reddit interface) together with the official app. I already had to use the official app for chats but never really used it extensively and definitely don't want to in the future. I'm on reddit just for a few specific subreddits and there aren't here on Lemmy unfortunately, I'll stay on reddit no matter what. I'll still lurk here for communities that have alternatives on Lemmy. But the relatively small user base on Lemmy doesn't help for an enjoyable surfing experience. Oh, I need to add, Jerboa is more buggy than official reddit app at the moment. I think I need to use the website instead

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What stuff are you missing on Lemmy that's on Reddit? I see gaps are constant being filled.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

r/ApplyingToCollege and related subreddits. It's like the whole reason I have been using reddit at all (I'm a rising senior)

I occasionally used reddit for German memes also because I'm convinced you can learn languages just by looking at memes, and I can find these on Lemmy.

I'm definitely not the average reddit migrant though so this is kind of a me problem perhaps

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That will come.

There's an entire instance for German speakers feddit.de, I believe I've seen memes there.

As for college, I'd imagine such subs have the most sense on country-specific instances too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes I've been enjoying feddit.de since I came here, they're good

I'm looking for the American college admissions, the largest college-related community on Lemmy is !college (idk how to denote channels) with 146 subscribers and even then it's not what i'm looking for

I guess I'll finally get in to some college in next 6 months and dump reddit finally

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You know, I think what's sorely missing is a US-centric instance. There's one for Midwest US but not the whole country. Which is weird when so many things are country specific, and looots of countries have their own instances.

I would hope that the college comm is for all colleges and not just the US ones, but I rather doubt that's the case.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nah, when the third party apps shut down you'll see another spike, then you'll be right lmao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you watching that onslaught?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No? I’ve been busy with family stuff over the last day or two so I’m a bit out of the loop. What’s going on?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

40% more users in one day after the API shutdown

200,000 lemmings ready, and million more well on the way

We are the canaries for those coming on the 1st

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

and i am anxious to inspect these units...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope some of the kinks can get worked out in the next few days. I know the lemmy devs are under a lot of stress.

Greet them with a good ole "Hello there"!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think if you're a nerd you're expected. Like, supernerd. Otherwise, nope. I think the meme highlights this point quite well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The nerds are always the early adopters. Reddit was all techy people for a while.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well, I am pretty nerdy but I am not an early adopter. I think I signed up 2 weeks ago and didn't start using it until a couple days ago. This place has been around for a while. I don't early adopt anything. I wait and see, like a stingy old nerd.

But will there be balloons and a cake?
